It survived the move, but one of the wings has a bend to it now. I think some warm air will do the trick. ------Metalguy

will she fly again?


My float conversion suffered a major setback. After a successful takeoff from water I lost sight of her behind a tree - crash boom bang. Lots of pieces now.
But UHU-por will get it fixed. At the same time I plan to add flaps to slow her down without stalling early.

I still wonder why this lovely plane was discontinued so early?

Anybody else flying one of these anymore?

Bummer.. .You'll get er' fixed up. I like the floats. I still have mine, but haven't flown anything in a while.

Well, this years flying season didn't start as planned. As I have access to a lake I fly almost exclusively waterplanes so far.

I still have mine but I haven't flown anything either since March last year. Models have been moth balled for more than a year while building a new home
