1919 White Monoplane Ready to maiden.


Another one done. AUW is 3.3oz with 2S 250 Lipo. Power is by the GWS Lite Power System. Not as cute as the Mud Bug but looks like it will be a great little flyer and much more scale powered!

Pretty windy yesterday and tried a short trial hop in the somewhat sheltered Cul De Sac. Instant blow down upside down in the yard. No damage but decided it liked NO WIND!
