Lonziz SE5a - first flight on Pete's YouTube

Lonziz SE5a - first flight on Pete's YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/user/Lonziz#p/f/0/duV5IQbZPVk

1/4 scale, built in the 90's to F4C standard by Grahame Brown, originally for an OS 120 4c
Weighs about 15 killerz
Now has a Moki 2.10, 20x10 prop, Spectrum AR9100 with two Eneloop 5 cell 2000 and Hi-tech Digitals

I spent about 100 hours getting to this stage...looks very promising...need a bit of rudder for right turns.

Need to do a lot more work on the muffler and bonnet area..upped the muffler bolts from 4mm to 5mm...still sorting it out.

Very stable flying and landings are good now.

Gazza, what happened during the landing looks like you've got hiccups :D I'll trade you an ARF Me-109 for that SE5 what you say then ;)

Yeah, very STRONG plane, "Buster" from the Mythbusters was testing it for me.

...hmmm....well I suppose we could see that as a part of a down payment....

Stephen Green said it was "My favourite WWI fighter this lovely SE5a by Garry Welsh" on page 11 of RCMN 102.

Col Mitchel is mixing me up some special WWI greeny-gray spray paint......thinks that might get him a flight or two...before he nicks it. He is practicing on bigger and bigger Nieuport XI's.

The price is rising dialy....

What else have you got to trade?

Now that my F4U Corsair has been caught landing with the flaps and wheels down on the front page of the July MAS Newsletter 237...his value has hit the sky!

That Me-109 is a rare collectable now I'll have you know!
Hmmmm I do like that SE5 though..... Mate Ive got so much stuff tons of kits bipes, warbirds, jets, gliders engines radios it would be easier to tell me what interests you and I'll send you the short list ;)

The going price for most priceless goods at the Trash & Treasure nite last year had fallen from $200 to $10.

Bring along your best this Tuesday....I'll bring a few loose coins from my car for you. :idea:
