FULL SIZE DESIGNED / BUILT BY EX WORLD CHAMPION U.S AEROBATIC PILOT AND 'FANTASY OF FLIGHT' MUSEUM OWNER KERMIT WEEKS. VERY SIMILAR TO A PITTS S1 BUT BOTH WINGS ARE SWEPT AND FUELAGE IS A LITTLE LONGER FOR IMPROVED LONGITUDINAL STABILITY.
MODEL NOW BROUGHT FULLY UP TO DATE AND NOW HAS FOUR TOP SPEC M/G SERVO OPERATED AILERONS FOR MORE PRECISE CONTROL AS ORIGINALLY TOP WING AILERONS WERE MECHANICALLY COUPLED TO BOTTOM WING AILERONS AND GEOMETRY FOUND TO BE INCORRECT.
NOW HAS TAIL END MOUNTED TOP SPEC M/G SERVOS ON SPLIT ELEVATORS WITH SHORT COUPLED STURDY PUSHRODS FOR NONE FLUTTER SOLID CONTROL. ALSO HAS INDEPENDENTLY SHORT COUPLED SERVO OPERATED TAILWHEEL STEERING FOR RELIABLE GROUND HANDLING ON ANY TYPE OF SURFACE. NICE DETAILED COCKPIT AND SCALE PILOT WITH COOL HOME MADE SUNGLASSES...LOL
HAS A MUCH MODIFIED TWO TIER EASILY REMOVEABLE TRAY RADIO BAY SYSTEM FOR MAINTENANCE ACCESS PLUS A LARGE MODERN SEE THROUGH FUEL TANK FOR EASY REGULAR CHECKING OF CLUNK AND PIPEWORK.
WAS JUST OVER HALF FULL AFTER 7 MIN SECOND TEST FLIGHT SO LONG ENJOYABLE AEROBATIC ROUTINES NO PROBLEM.
HAS A HIGH POWER TX SWITCHABLE LANDING LIGHT FITTED PLUS RX, IGNITION AND LIGHT BATTERIES ARE ALL NEW.
OLD CRACKED 'EGGSHELL' THIN SPATS REPLACED WITH TOP QUALITY EXPENSIVE CARBON COPY ITEMS.
STRETCHY RUBBER CORED WIRE LOOK EASY CLIP ON FLYING WIRES REALLY SET MODEL OFF BUT BEING NONE FUNCTIONAL CAN BE SAFELY LEFT OFF IF DESIRED. MODEL VERY QUICK AND EASY TO ASSEMBLE AS ONLY FOUR SHORT CAP HEAD HEAD BOLTS FOR STRUTS, TWO LOWER WING RETAINING BOLTS AND A SHORT PIECE OF METAL ROD WITH RUBBER SLEEVE FOR SECURING TOP WING.
MODEL COMES WITH A REALLY NICE CUSTOM MADE EASY CARRY TRANSPORT / STORAGE WING RACK TOO.
MODEL POWERED BY AN AS NEW LOW HOURS CORRECTLY RUN IN VERY USER FRIENDLY POWERFUL DLE 60CC TWIN WHICH HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH GRUNT FOR SCALELIKE AEROBATICS. ENGINE STARTS REALLY EASILY BY HAND AND IS A REAL JOY TO OPERATE.
MODEL IS TURN KEY ON SPEKTRUM BUT WILL OBVIOUSLY ADJUST PRICE ACCORDINGLY IF RX NOT REQUIRED.
PUT IN ON COMPUTER .....NALL IN THE FALL 2024 ACE RC WEEKS SPECIAL YOUTUBE.....TO SEE ONE OF THESE EASY FLYING VICELESS MODELS BEING FLOWN AS IT SHOULD BE...SMOOTH AND PRECISE !. LANDS GREAT TOO AS YOU WILL ALSO SEE WITH LITTLE TENDENCY TO BOUNCE UNLIKLE A PITTS S1 !!.
NEEDS TO GO ASAP SO LOOKING FOR A VERY REASONABLE £950...NOW £875. LOVELY HEAD TURNING READY TO FLY VERY RARE TYPE AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.....WILL BE EXTREMELY SAD TO SEE HER GO !.
I'M SITUATED IN MID WALES AREA SO IF A LONG WAY TO COME I'M PREPARED TO TRAVEL A REASONABLE DISTANCE FOR HANDOVER TO SAVE PROSPECTIVE BUYER MANY MILES OF WINDING WELSH COUNTRY ROADS.
If model sells for full or near asking price and buyer is an experienced model builder then have a nice quality shelved makeover project tucked awy in workshop that I will throw in FOC. Probably worth quite a lot once finished but as it is will probably never get around to it now so may as well go to a good home. Info and pics on request once W/S deal done.
SEE PICS.
