50% Scale Pitts Challenger II Print E-mail
Wednesday, 07 July 2004
Mai_Rusing_l.jpgWe were searching for the ultimate show model and ended up buying two identical Challengers from Exclusive Modellbau. After 450 hours of work, 500 small screews, 18 meters of servo-extention cables and 21 meters of Oracover we ended up with a very good looking and extreme aerobatic perfomers! Both planes have been flown and the Challenger is an awsome plane to fly. It is extremely predictable, graceful and very elegant in all kind of maneuvers!
