Good idea Alan. just need to find someone with a big powered model to tow the big buff. my club sold the glider tug we had. to another model club in England, however we do have a C47 Dakota which would do.

I think Andy Wallace has a Titan?

You'll also need a good tow release

Hi All

Well the building stage of the B52 is finally finished and here is the end product. The model came in at 28.7lb and thats including 3lb of lead in the nose, still below my 30lb target A.U.W.I still need to add two servos in the wings and program the transmitter, then she will be ready for her first test flight. Here are a few photos of the Big Buff!!









I would like to wish everyone a happy new year, see you all on the slopes in 2010.

That is SOME feat of work John. :D

I admire your “focus” and tenacity in getting the project finished. (Certainly something way beyond my capabilities.)

Well done ol’ fruit, I take my hat off to you! :clap: :clap:
