Default Ju52

Hey Fella's, just wanted to share a fun scale subject that is now ready to start covering. Since the 50% Smith Miniplane is finally complete but medical issues have halted the test flying, I have framed up this Graupner Ju-52 that a good friend of mine in Germany sent to me as a gift several years ago. It has been converted from the brushed motors that came with it to brushless. It is very good kit, after all these years of building it does have to be a good kit before i would say that. Too bad good kits are getting fewer and further between. Hope it flies well, will follow up with that in the future.

That looks like the Graupner kit. I had one that flew with the brushed Speed 400's. A great flying bird and the sound of three motors (even electric) is awesome. As I recall, the build was a bit tough as the die-crushing was pretty bad.

Lost it when somebody snuck up behind me and tapped me on the should. I about jumped out of my skin and lost sight of the plane. There wasn't enough left to pick up )-:

Typical die crushing on this kit too but everything fit together quite well.
I am looking forward to getting it finished to get it in the air.
