Multiplex Tommy Jr.
« on: February 08, 2025, 23:05:09 PM »
New toy!

Could not resist. I like biplanes and the price was more that right on that one.

Not going to detail the build, this is Multiplex! Everything fits and assembled without issues.
Just some building details are a tad vague like connecting the ailerons to the servo extensions while sliding the 2 wings in place!
But other than that, all went like a breeze.

First flight was last Saturday at the SRFC after the rain and was a non event, looks great in the air and is fully aerobatic!
First landing, not sure what happened, but I left the landing gear behind after touchdown 🤣🤣

Promptly fixed and subsequent flight was just another non event.

I like that one! Good fun.
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Fred, does Rachel know you have brought your plane into the house ??? on the table.

Good to see you flying even if it is a power plane!!

Spots or no Spots?

True! 😁

No slope flying so far, weather has been rubbish! But the Lentus is always with me in the car. Plenty of flying with it for sure!

And also the finesse max. God I love this glider!

Oh, and a new toy, the Mpx funwing. Fun it is, and glide surprisingly well too! Permanent resident of the car along the Lentus 😃

Felt like scratching the biplane itch myself Fred. Found this classic on e-bay.
