Flea Fli

Post by stuart mackay »

Judging by the number of full- scale Kwik--Flis that have been getting air under their wings lately and likely to make an appearance at Ponty this year, I Have been thinking of entering the scale comp using model of a model at Ponty this year!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you a 70% scale rendition of Phil Kraft's classic aerobat,

The Flea Fli!! Steered by a period Kraft Signature Series Tx mated to a lemon receiver and five micro metal gear servos with a Ripmax 25 and APC 9x 7.5 prop on 3 or 4S. Photos are the precautionary pre-flight piccies and hope to report back later with more info! :D :D

The Flea Fli I did as plan feature for RCM&E was a pylon racer on 4S. Leapt into the sky; bigger prop and 3S tamed it a tad. Great fun model. Unless my mate decks it it should be at Ponte this year.
Good luck with the test flight.

Thanks Shaun, flew on rails asst night, nippy even on 3S, we used the outerzone plane for build, it was a free plan IIRC in RCME in the Christmas 72 ??? edition.
Jut requires elevator throw reducing mechanically and some ail differential.

Once decorated with some blue stripes to match my Kwik Fli, It should be at Ponty this year also!!
