Low pass Pete Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hello everyone Great idea for a Mass Build. I enjoyed building Pete Miller's Ballerina, and Lindsay Todd's Skywriter and Renaissance as part of previous Mass Builds. All still flying. Already had a plan for "Dawn Flyer" to build so why not dedicate the build to this years Mass Build. Will be a first electric build for me. Anyone got a spare set of Flair Vintage wheels they have no use for and would like to sell? Cheers LPP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Elite Models are showing stock due in later this month for wheels. I shall be following with interest, as I built and rebuilt mine at least three times, before finally not rebuilding it. If I were you I would reinforce the rear end of the "tub" with some thin ply to avoid the problem I had. My build for what it is worth is here. MY build.

EarlyBird Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 LPP There is some advice to extend the nose and be aware of tail weight. CofG being the issue and ending up with a heavy model that flies fast, not a problem for you I assume. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I elected to build this one. If I remember I ended up with a requirement for abou 240grms of lead in the nose!!.So look forward to hearing/seeing some ideas , and a mass build.
