Anybody had one of these?

Thanks to Gary D(nb), I acquired an original kit for the
Verosonic. It appeals to me for conversion to electric & single channel, probably GG. Anybody already done this, by chance?

Phil Smith never designed a bad plane - he didn't know how to.
It will make a great s/c glider - looking forward to seeing the flying pics.
Cheers,
Shaun

The dihedral and sweepback will make it super-stable for rudder-only, it will weigh nothing and should make a great S/C sloper for marginal, scratchy conditions... an ideal candidate for tissue over mylar
Thanks chaps, positive affirmation indeed! Certainly it looks good, so, as they say....

Reminds me of the Veron Coronette - which I build - and it flew well

Thanks Nick - I much prefer the colour scheme on the
Coronette box . Otherwise, it looks like they are the same design scaled to two sizes. When your on a good thing, stick with it!

Found it !
Pic taken at the St Albans Vintage gathering way back in June 2006. This Verosonic was being aerotowed and looked delightful in the air.
Sorry no airborne shots.

It would look great scaled up 100%.
If I didn't have so much in my build queue I would be up for it.

Looks to me like an all moving tailplane & airbrakes/spoilers, 3ch probably.
Regardless, what a superb looking model
. Thanks Spike

...surely, that would make it the same size?
