If you want to bash a 4*120, I suggest you read this. The man is an artist. A true work of art there.

Most of the canopies I've seen for a Four Star / Agwagon were built up from wood with acrylic windshield and doors

j-j,
I realize your new, so maybe you aren't aware of this....

Turn off your capitol letters. It's hard to read and is considered "yelling" on the forums.

w8ye,Thanks for the invite. been doing this for many years.In the 50's I remember 2 kits I built, breezey jr and a mambo. No throttle control only wide open or stopped.Tran. was a orion I think and rubber powered escapements. Only rudder and ele. control. Push button on trans once and hold for left,push and hold twice for right and push and hold three times for up.Kits were a little tougher to build. Glue had to set up all nite to cure,and no die or laser cut parts.You cut all parts by hand.Lots of tissue paper and dope.I was thinking{which gets me into a lot of trouble} about bashing a 4*120 to a agwagon until I saw info on rcguys new agwagon arf.does anyone have any info on this great looking arf?ok time for my nap.thanks a lot j-j

I built a full size Breezy from the original article and little picture in the magazine. I also had a Mambo with a Fox 15, Ace Commando radio and rubber band escapement.

I'm sure you will enjoy your Agwagon no matter which version
