Yoda Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi Gary, It looks fantastic. I built a Limbo Dancer from a kit in the late 90s and really enjoyed that and was really proud and satisfied having done it. I've had a long break from flying and am getting back into it again. The models I've built recently have been ARTF but would like to build from a kit or scratch again. I'm told its more expensive than ARTF but the satisfaction of building must out weigh that and you would know that its built, glued and covered well. You have inspired me to think about building from a kit or scratch again. Thank you. I've just got to wait 'till my subscription with RCM&E kicks in then I can get onto subscribers forums and reviews. Again, Nice CAP and good luck with your maiden.

Peter Miller Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes, plans are well under way. Construction estimated to start a week on Thursday. I have black and white pictures but no idea of colours. and as it isn't true scale I won't object if people do their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Vinten 1 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have a fantastic idea for the colour scheme would make this model do 700mh on the ground Pane of course it will have to be fast electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
