Really like the beguine, Colin. Looks like a proper vintage plane. What battery do you use in it?

Hi Chris, i used a 2s but it really struggled to stay up there, it really needs a 3s to be fair. The motor in it is a geared speed 400 and the weight is over 500gm.
The slow stick is the one i like to fly the most but if you take off at full chat it zooms up wards and spirals left lol but if you cut the throttle just on take off then it is not two bad but i keep forgetting.

Hey Chris that looks OK and not a bad price , I see by reading the bottom of your posts you have got quite a collection now but thought you said wife said no more ! lol......... I did not get made redundant this time round but i am on short time this week not sure of the days yet but i think it is wed / Thur / Fri. so will be able to try something with the ss , may even get the cub back to being airworthy..
Hope the jet gets to you OK and soon, it looks real nice ..

Ef 16  Extra  Ripped both wings off ef16 but easy fix with epoxy...goes fast bout 70-80 out a dive,the extra is more my kind of plane...snap rolls,knife edge. Allso had a squall that did knife edge n snap rolls but crashed two airframes so got the ef16 airframe.. |

Iv only been flying for about 11months,the phase3 squall was my first edf n can be flown real slow great for a first edf at £100 with fan/esc! I used the fan/esc in the ef16 so only cost £35 for the ef16 airframe :-) Pic of my old squall  |
