2022 is over and now we are on to 2023.\u00a0 I almost forgot my traditional New Years Day flight in my back yard, but I got the flight logged<\/a> in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n

But this is about a new model!\u00a0 I started this a little after midnight on New Years Eve\/Day\u00a0 before I headed off to bed.\u00a0 I picked up the original kit last year and was surprised when I received it.\u00a0 I knew it was an Old Time Fuselage model, but it is SMALL – only a 12″ wingspan!\u00a0 The fuselage is built-up and the rubber is enclosed (so it should be good for the Flying Aces Club OT Fuse and 2-Bit events), but is only 1\/2″ square on the outer dimensions (and only 3\/8″ square internally).\u00a0 The model came out to 5 grams without rubber (on 24 square inches of wing area).<\/p>\n

I finished the model yesterday and put rubber in it and tested it today. It literally flew without adjustment.\u00a0 I did try some right thrust, but it was too much, so I took it back out.\u00a0 This is no side thrust, no down thrust, no nose weight, no tail weight – nothing but rubber.<\/p>\n

Here is where to find the Short Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is a test flight video and photos following.
