HANGAR AND STRIP REPORT 
by Dave Burns

INTRODUCTION

Way back in issue #127, January '95, I completed a review of the Sig Fazer Funfly model. At the time this model was probably considered the starting point for the mass produced class of funfly model. In the meantime, we have seen a virtual explosion of available kits and plans for various types in the funfly category. Some have been interesting, others a mere shadow of a golf stick with wings.

....Ever seen a Jumbo Jet take off, stop in mid air, then climb away BACKWARDS if the answer is NO you'd better take a good look at this one!


SPECIFICATIONS

JUMBO-JET 747 SP (SPECIAL PROFILE) FUN FLY
Wingspan: 1.2 metre
Length: 1.1 metre
Engines: .40-.46
4 channel radio control required

 

Not to be remiss in this area, the design team at AIRBORNE magazine have been busy putting crayon to butchers paper, and have come up with there own range of funfly models, based around recognisable subjects. The first to commit acts in matters aeronautique is the 747SP - (Special Profile) Jumbo Jet. 
This is one of the easiest models to build, even to relative newcomers. It is very inexpensive, and gives a great deal of return for a minimal cost. Being very aerobatic, but also easy to fly, should prove popular with everyone.

 


FEATURES:

The plan comes on a single dyeline sheet, with clear line work, and all parts defined as to material and dimensions. The model is designed for a .40 to .46 size engine, and four function radio.
