The above picture shows the
same airplane but some time later. After a few crashes the
original finish was starting to look a bit tatty, so it was
rebuilt with a new colour scheme. The trainer yellow scheme is
of No 5 Service Flying Training School, R.A.A.F, late in WW11.
The T6
kit has been around for quite a while now. It went together
quite easily and generally withstood a fairly rough flying
career, as befits a military trainer! The only real weakness I
found in the kit was the undercarriage mounting blocks, which
splintered on the first heavy landing.
The
flying characteristics were good, although a little twitchy in a
modest breeze. Most basic maneuvers could be accomplished. The
plane was lost due to a battery failure, but I may build another
one some day!
