I built it in 2020 with my partner Miss Blue Eyes. It was the second Super 60 I built and I bought another one, a Penn Models Super 60. These were available as an ARTF long before ARTFs were even thought of. Most were finished with Cub Yellow fuselages and red wings and tails.

I'll have to check whether the elevator lines up. It flies ok, I was even filmed flying it but I can't find the video at the moment. We've got a perfectionist in our club too.

J D 8 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Hello Mike, From the west coast of Wales. My fifty one year old Mercury Matador was free flight but converted to radio assist some years ago. Cheers, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Found the video but you'll have to put up with me trying to trim out an over-powered Radio Queen first. Please make allowance for English not being the cameraman's first language. Mike Myers, just in case you didn't know a Radio Queen was the first model aeroplane to cross the English Channel between England and France in September 1955. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx8MphHxj9U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Mike, welcome to the forum. This has got a bit off track - but that's what happens! ( it's the French based Englishmen joking with each other! ) I think many on the forum would be interested to hear what aeromodellers are doing in LA or California nowadays, so let us know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
