![]() 3860 forum posts 741 photos | Ok so this is not my model and you're all sick to the back teeth with me going on about La Coupe Des Barons but I saw this model at the competition and I thought you might be interested in seeing it especially as the builders were so young. The lad on the left flew it and it was one of the 15 or 20 models which were still serviceable after the end of the event. |

L4 from a Sig 1/6 J3 kit. Enya46 four stroke for power. Edited By Ted Khinsoe on 11/09/2019 15:19:19 That is a great conversion of the standard kit Thanks. I retained much of the original structure but used a bit of ply and carbon to provide some strength in the aft cabin frame. The model has had a tortured existence with engine issues resulting in deadstick arrivals first three flights then a forgotten servo horn screw in an aileron servo caused a significant crash requiring substantial rebuild. Still flying though. |

Paulo, that's different. What is it? Hello Dad_flyer, It's called Vector. A model by Pete Collins published in RCM&E of March 2016. I agree it's a very unusual shape, that's why I chose it to build! Search in this site for threads and albums under 'Vector' and you'll find more information about the model. Regards, PP |

I love the colour scheme. Thank you! I'll check whether it really helps with orientation in the air. Regards, PP |
