You get all you need in the kit 

[Mick Reeves Disco novelty flying model]

A couple of years ago I was at a local field and won a new unopened Disco kit.

 

I finally made a start the other day and progressed quite well

 

I can’t decide if I should go electric or the traditional stinky glow motor route

 

I’ve used UHU por and epoxy glues

I suppose in a way it’s a shame when the kit was revamped the tank issues wasn’t addressed,

 

But that’s  life

Yeah tank position is key to a well tuned fourstroke

Pleasantly surprised with the engine 

splash of 50-1 and she’s running 

 

now to double check the fuz and get the paint 

 

going to shift the c-g back a bit I’m pretty sure this will improve the right roll rate 

[Precedent Stampe 1/4 Scale]
