Martyn K Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It looks superb. Was the original Adagio a tail dragger? I thought all F3A's of the era were trike undercarriage Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Very nice Steve. It should fly well at that weight, especially with Eddie on the sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dunning Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yes the Adagio was a tail dragger. It was designed just at the start of the turnaround era but before the over large models came in, around '84-'85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dunning Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 My Adagio is now well on the way with only covering of the wing to be completed. Model weighs 3.75lb at this stage. All bodes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all F3A's of the era were trike undercarriage Martyn No they all flew taildraggers probably as it was a lighter configeration. I saw quite a lot of Ken flying this model, about twenty years ago I think, and he did well with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
