If anyone is looking for short kits of Ken Willard’s designs (there are now 85 on Outerzone) I can cut suitable parts for you and ship across the Atlantic for you. Scale up or down or original size - I can do this to order. I run Kanata Aircraft Models - you can contact me at kanataaircraftmodels@gmail.com or PM me through the forum. Some of my short kits are on Facebook - just search for KanataAircraft Models. I already have ‘Dreamboat’ and ‘Kittiwake’ ready to cut.

Well done as usual Paul, looking forward to see you at Ponte together with all your other projects. Will you fly it on the "button"?
Cheers

We'll have to see how it flies. It is built as per the plan and has an elevator so to begin with I will fly it on 3 channels. One report I read said that rudder response on the Gasser is not good and as built is over elevated but we'll see....... One of the beauties of Phil's encoder is that it can be flown and trimmed using propo but you can also fly it on the button.

Great job Paul, but there's no driver, the 'office' is empty. I'm guessing that many moons ago, somebody had checks on special & you bought up big :lol: :roll:

Pilot or no pilot under the canopy is the question 🤔!
My dad always called for one and I normally opt to not have one.... it's a remote controlled vehicle so a piloted under the canopy would probably have major concerns.

But if you're not putting a pilot in there, why bother with a clear canopy?
