Cardinal and Poppet and button Tx. Some pics as a test.

I just wanted to post some pictures of a couple of simple models I've nearly finished to show I'm not all mouth and no trousers. I apologise, I know these aren't single channel models, but this is just a test piece to try adding pictures.
The Poppet is nearly done, just wheels to fit properly and engine (Paw 55) to screw down and a few little bits and bobs to do. It will be flown as a bog standard Free Flight sport model. 'Flick n' Chuck'. I've not even bothered to put a DT on this one. I think this may be my 5th Poppet. They fly really well.
The Cardinal was going to be rudder only with a Tobe Adams clone, but I decided to keep it FF and I'll build something more appropriate for the little Tobe actuator. The Cardinal is much prettier than its rival, the Tomboy in my opinion, although I do have a soft spot for the Tomboy. I've built FF and RC versions in the past. The unspoken truth is they're actually tricky little buggers to build accurately.
Both models are covered in my usual traditional method of Esaki lite tissue, and normal shrinking dope. (I never use Mylar).
The Tx is a commercial case with Phil's emulator and a Frsky hack module.
Apologies for the Picture quality. I'm no David Bailey.
