Those were my decoys ! A guy just can't be too careful these days !!!!

What's the plane --- it looks a lot like a Pacer or Mach None, but it doesn't have a dorsal fin.

That was a freebie that came with the 09. Turns freely, just put a prop and glow plug and it's good to go

Freebies are the best bies !

That's a great looking free flight. I like the eyedropper tank --- pretty typical for controlling run times. Couldn't tell exactly, does it have a dethermalizer? Timer or fuse?

The builder did an excellent job on it. It's been trimmed and set up with enough skill to make me jealous. I WOULD like to stick a radio and single servo in it...but hate to mess with it !

Sorry Andrew, didn't catch your whole post. It's got a snuffer tube for a fuse dethermalizer.

Why not just leave it FF?
They are fun.

I'm strongly tempted Indra. It's just that it can be difficult to find enough usable space to fly these little suckers. The radio would be purely for keeping it in the general area of it's launch. I had PLENTY of panicked airplane chasing time back in my escapement days !!!

Kim,
Have you used a true FF model as in not failed radio because they ted to be forgiving and you say he trimmed it? You mean like trimmed to fly in a pattern?
If it is that case you could ring him and ask how he trimmed it to fly that will give you an idea of how much space you need.
Also just try a 10 second engine run at first.
Indra
