Mike Birch's Capricorn
Posted: 09 Jul 2025, 00:08
Had a bit of a lucky find and managed to acquire THE ex Mike Birch Capricorn that featured as a cover model in a 1974 Radio Modeller Magazine.
It has the original HP61 fitted and runs like a dream, I have replaced the servos with modern types and am using a Lemon Rx 7 channel receiver with a satellite guided initially by my Kraft Signature Series but the intention is to switch over to a Mike K built Skyleader SLX as used by Mike in period.
It has a lovely patina and flies superbly!
It should be at Ponty this year but for those who cant make it, here are some photos:
