Hi all - COVID lockdown gave plenty of building time and finally dusted off the free plan for the Miller 'Fantasy 2' which I've had in my 'must build' pile for years. Embarrassingly, now that I've sat down to write this I can't find the original mag so can't tell when it was originally published, but I've had it on my list for ages so guessing that it would be from the 90's perhaps? Anyway, she's a straight-forward sport design that has always appealed - I've used an OS .25 LA up front and am just now waiting for a free morning for the maiden, but she definitely falls into the "if it looks right it'll fly right" group so I've no doubts! Thanks Peter - a lovely build. Cheers. Jerry Cashman - Canberra, Oz.

Thanks very much team - I've had a burst of inspiration and have got my Maricardo pretty close to done - just a few details (properly mount cowl, hookup throttle, etc)) and she's ready!

Ahh! Thanks very much for that link Nigel - I had read it a few years ago but clean forgot it was there - a great resource. Yes - the fires are a big worry - we've always had them in Aus, but never this big or so early in the season. With my flying hat on it's a bugger as our fields are all closed due to the strong winds and total fire bans... but that's a first-world problem isn't it! Everyone is very worried and the wonderful volunteers who are fighting day in and day out are already pretty done-in. and it's still not even January! Pray for Rain!

Many thanks all - I'll go looking for an 8Oz. I'm in Aus so the SLEC tank which does look like a very sensible design isn't readily available here - but a regular clunk should fit and yes, I've already got a hatch in place, so all good. Thanks again and Happy New Year for this evening! (Aus time cheers. Jerry

G'Day all - I've been slowly building a Maricardo (April 2004) for a couple of years and after a rush of blood am now going to see if I can get it done and in the air. My question is what size fuel tank should I be using? I'm using a K&B .45 Sportster for power and have a 4-Oz Sullivan tank in the spares box - but it looks a bit small - should I be aiming for a larger tank? (I've not flown glow for many years - so have forgotten most of the voodoo required for fitting a glow model out!) cheers. Jerry

Thanks Ton and David... yes, she's a keeper... I thought initially that I'd be inclined to build an Aileron wing as well for her, but she really doesn't need it and it's fun keeping things simple

Hi RCME folk, thought some might enjoy seeing my build of Ton van M's cute little "Sticky" from the RCME free plan. A quick, easy build which costs very little to get in the air and once there, is plenty fast enough, nimble without being twitchy and settles down nicely once you stop poking at the sticks... very pleased... Thanks Ton! cheers. Jerry from Canberra - Aus.
