Wingman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 All these models are here - Micron RC and the freq is 868MHz - think its the smallest RC kit you can buy.Edited By Wingman on 19/02/2011 08:09:55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I can remember being ahead of the game here back in the 60's! My mate and me occasionally used to sacrifice one of our Airfix models (usually one of those we had made a few years earlier and were now embarrassed by our earlier paintings skills when compared with the later ones we made!). We discovered that if you put a large lump of plasticine on the front end and then lobbed the a/c overarm whilst holding it upside down it would then perform the rest of the 'loop' quite fast,and stable before impacting! If we were lucky then we might get a few 'flights' before it was totalled - particularly if the grass was long! We never did solve the problem of extending the airframe life or flight times! Is this the earliest example of a true (not Depron) flying Airfix 1/72 scale? TW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We watched this flying at the nats last year - very impressive it was too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 BB - you need to click the "Use old embed code" box on youtube. They've introduced a new way of embedding code on youtube. Fingers crossed, you get this; I'm sure I saw that radio on Micron's stand at a show, must have been a good 2 or 3 years ago, so the radio has been around for awhile. Impressive in such a tiny model though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat (rActive) Harbord Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ha ha, I remember flying my total airfix (and some Monogram) collection from my second floor bedroom window one summer. The cold war jets were rubbish, plummeting like darts to the patio below. The best was a larger scale Roy Brown's Sopwith Camel (revell I think) and a large Storch which pulled out of the initial dive and leveled into the runner bean poles in the veg plot that we had back in the 70's.Good times - before we got video games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
