Re: Spotted on ebay
Used to have one of those, good fun but not worth buying if it goes silly as there is next to no balsa needed to build one.A scrap box special.

Re: Spotted on ebay
In Amsterdam (end of the 60-ies) we used to fly the Mini-Dominator, a creation of Bert Metkemeijer, who nicked the idea from the (then popular) Dominator and apart from scaling down, slightly stretced the span/chord ratio.
It flew excellent with the then, locally immmensely popular and widely available Webra Record.
As time went on, also 1,5 cc versions of Liquidator and, indeed, Warlord appeared.
As my interest was more with aerobatics, I only used a Mini-Dominator for learning the proper way of flying "outside" manoeuvres ( I remember something like "bunts", correct?) as I tended to over control these in my initial phase...
From then, the vehicle of choice was a Mini Suppi, also Webra powered, and a real Mini stunter.
