There is a slightly modified suppliment to the Acrostar called AcroFury (https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6242). All are standard balsa / spruce /ply straightforward construction. Ply Cabane struts and Rubber bands for Wayfarer and Bentwire plus nylon bolts for Acrostar/AcroFury. This was built last year on returning to aeromodelling due to pandemic furlough free time ? Mine is a very nice flyer on 4S and 650-700 watts - 8 mins of conmfortable clubman aerobatics. Knife edge, Loops, Bunt's, Vertical Eight's indefinate inverted flight etc... Walking pace landings what's not to like. Just make sure you use sufficent "Rubber bands" to hold the top wing! My first few flights were interesting until the penny dropped... became a very very nice predicable machine exactly as described in the RCM article (plus make sure you build with 1/4 medium solid sheet tail as recommended by the original designer as a revision in a Svenson kit review also available on outer zone). Balsa/Ply, wheels, Wire etc cost me about £120 from Balsa cabin. Originally kitted by Svenson; got the plan and this my next build. but with an O.S 52 surpass smoke and noise maker four stroke. Lovely looking old time flying machine,,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
