Hi all,
I was wondering if I could ask the members of this forum for help in locating details of a kit I owned years ago as a teen. I've been driving myself mad recently trying to track down any remnants of an ad in Radio Modeller, RCM& E or the like. Here goes, details are slim at best so I'm hoping that the pitiful description might trigger a memory or two..!!
Spec;
The model was produced in the 1980s in the UK
It was a trainer, high-wing, possibly around 60 inch span.
It was designed for larger nitro engines, I recall possible .61cu in.??
It was a full house trainer sport model which feature semi symmetrical foam-veneered wings...and a horizontal stab. It also featured a fiberglass fuselage and abs cowl.
I believed that it may have been made by a company called Arrow Models, the same group that produced a really nice model of the Schneider Trophy s5 seaplane.
The box was rather large, featuring a colored image of the model in flight. The box art had the model in a teal/ greenish blue color with white wings.
I realize that this may be trying to locate the proverbial needle, but you can only ask eh??
My father bought this kit for me after being dissuaded to buy the Seaplane as this was seen to offer a more likely chance of success in my RC exploits.
Of course, normal situation; teen , little money and this may have been a little too grand a project at the time. The model was promptly used in part exchange for a Tamiya holiday buggy...(the shame of it).
If any of you chaps could shed light on my plight I would would appreciate it. I'm after any pics or general details, looking to see if there would be the slim change of getting hold of a kit again.
Thanks in advance
Jason
