Veco Thunderbird kit

Well you never will guess what I picked up at the annual club auction the other night... yeah ok, I gave the game away with the title of this blog. A Veco Thunderbird kit (control line of course). Its what I understand is the Mark II which is the inverted engine. I haven't gone through the kit yet but I hope its all there.

Parkzone P51D BNF engine upgrade

I had an "incident" with my P51D and bent the shaft of the engine so I have replaced it with another. Well I test flew it today and boy, does it go. It will climb vertically and just keep on going. I love climbing to about 300ft and then powering off and and gliding and doing aerobatics. Its fun!!

Note that I have used 3mm bolts as spacers to get the motor forward.

Great Planes SE5A

Here is my SE5A which I purchased from a friend. I spent some time going over it and now it is ready for a test fly. I have seen it fly and it flys really well. It is 860mm in wingspan.
