Special Thanks to:
Shirley K. (Shirley is the lady the plane was built for and is named after.)
Glen F. for shooting the video used for this web page.
Details about the plane:
The airplane is painted so there is no covering to peel.
Wingspan 56" Weight 7.2lbs ( with 20 oz. of fuel onboard ) Using 4
channel PCM radio with 4 servos. Power is from 2 OS .40 FX (The pictures
show the OS fp .35 engines) turning
10x6 Master airscrew props.The Plane flew so well I decided to spend the
money for the FX engines.
OK Lets see it FLY!

The plane flys GREAT. I start the engines and set them on the
rich side.(new engines should always be run just a little rich)
Take Off:
The power was added and as the plane rolled down the runway the
nose came up and it was an Awesome feeling.
First flight:
The plane flew like it was on rails! The plane flew without any trim
changes. I must say there is no other feeling like it when
your design takes to the air.
It is a rush that no drug could ever give you!
Inverted:
Well... most planes will never be flown upside down but it is ok
to do it with a model. This one flys very well inverted.
Notice the
bottom of the wing is white and you can also see the wheels
are sticking up.
Landing:
After about 15 mins of flying it is time to bring it in and
the landings are smooth and nose high. This really is a nice
flying airplane. This project took about 65 hrs to build. But another airplane
like this could be built in about 35 hrs. the second one always
builds in about 1/2 the time of the first one.
