Tus aviones son bien lindos ! Are those your kids building them ? That will keep them busy and out of trouble ;) That is pretty impressive work, and I immagine some parts are difficult to get in Columbia.
My question is, where are you going to fly that plane ? If it goes down chances are you will never see it again. It is not safe to wonder about the country side of Columbia looking for a model plane. I have been to columbia and had a girlfriend that worked for the Fiscalia, I saw a lot of what goes on there :eek:
If others find it, it will most likely be sold for a few pesos... I would put a big sticker on it with a big reward if found !

im part of From Sky Team (my brother and me), both are engineers, terraco is part of our new company project, since 6 years old we are on R/C amazing world, in colombia there are many clubs were you can fly your models.
its true that colombia have some security problems , but you can't trust all that you can see in the news.
colombia is a paradise, more information about were i live: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cali
If others find it, it will most likely be sold for a few pesos... I would put a big sticker on it with a big reward if found !
yea its true if some body found that maybe, ask for reward or maybe not lots of people are very honest and return things to owner.
bye.

Nice job and good looking plane.
What is the weight of that ready to fly?
How is that Fuji doing for you? Is it the Electronic Ignition or the Magneto version?

After having some free days in Bogota and Cartagena de Indias I must be agree. Itīs beauty land (Cartagena looks more like a paradise) with simmilar security problems but similar than in other big cities, no more. The big problem is to find a fallen plane when flying over dense vegetation areas.
Un bonito avion, buen trabajo.

hi
terraco have a Fuji 64 bt , Magneto Version
the weight ready to flight is 23 pounds + 8 pounds in payload = 31 pounds in the test
but we have lot of free space into it ..
terraco is using a single wheels and with 31 pounds them get flat.
