Peter Jenkins Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 By great good fortune, I've just managed to buy a Gangster 75 kit in pristine condition from a kind chap who just had not got round to building it. There is a Gangster 75 at my club which I have flown and which impressed me mightily. It has a lovely colour scheme but I feel that I should not just copy it as it will betray a lack of initiative on my part (oh how true) but I would be grateful if others could post pictures of their Gangster colour schemes regardless of the size of the aircraft. Top and bottom surface would be great. Thanks in anticipation of loads of Gangster pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kntt Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great news my Gangster 63 was a gift to me from my wife. It was my first low winger in 1979 and it was a great performer. I look forward to trying one out but it would be nice to build one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike F Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well there we go I started building again 4 years ago after a 40 year break,my best moment to date is seeing an own design fly as straight as an arrow,now pensioned off. At present building a DB Moth Cirrus, nothing to beat passing the time when your retired.. By the way I bought a 63 Gangster built but uncovered at the Nats. I never really learnt to fly 40 years ago, you had to build then and see how cheap everything is now in 1970a model gear and radio Futaba M would cost you £250. I would have been sorry to see the ARTF,s arrive as the only way I could afford the hobby was to build a kit and sell it through the shop and get 2 kits in return.I marvel at some of the new ARTF,s, CNC cutting and the Chinese ladies can't half cover.. Never mind everyone to his own. I confess I cannot build the way I did,the eye sight the steady hands and the memory all take their toll. You know when your retired its a win win win situation. satisfaction is derived from building,from flying some exercise and get out with a few like minded friends and drink as much tea as fly. Bit like sex really everything takes you longer but remember that life is a sexually transmitted terminal illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
