NEW MODELS MAIDENED

Ricky brought along his new H9 'Meridian' for its first flight.

Electrically powered, the model flew well needing only a few clicks of trim, so Ricky was a very 'happy bunny' when he landed the plane successfully and recovered his nerves.

Another model maidened today was Taildragger's foamie 'Seawind'.  ARTF by ST Models.

This plane was bought specifically for flying off Lough Cowey.  It's a true amphibian with retracts.  It can be taxied down the slipway into the water and then the undercarriage retracted.  Neat!!  When the u/c is retracted a water rudder is automatically deployed.

Flaps are standard as is wing tip strobe lighting.

The maiden flight was uneventful; a few clicks of elevator trim had the model flying straight and level.  It's powered with a 3-S LiPo 2200 mAh capacity and is a pleasure to fly.  Purchased from Slough Radio Control Models and delivered for under £200.
