Don Fry Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I built one when it was kitted by Apache Aviation. Can't remember it's weight, but not heavy for the size. Mine went with a RCV SP 60, which for an electric user is an 800 watt motor at about 5000 rpm flat out. (My motor has a 2/1 reduction gearbox). Nice build, good instructions, nice cutting. Can't imagine SLEC cutting corners. Mine was a lovely relaxed scale performer. Destroyed in a mid air about when I was starting to think it was properly sorted.

Don Fry Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I don't know if you are aware, and I was not clear in my post, SLEC took on the Apache business when Mr Apache retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
