Build took around 3 months as I am not a fast builder & I took my time ! Kit, plan & downloaded instructions were easy to follow & I took the advice to mount the 90mm edf unit further aft to give more of a rearward centre of gravity. Although retracts are fitted I also a hook for bungee launch as my flying site is grass & not suitable for small wheels. First flights today with a 2250 6s battery off the bungee went well, fast but no major trimming needed apart from extra ballast in the nose, excellent performance & amazing glide without power!
I bulit this kit about 2 years ago and meanwhile, have approx. 50 flights on it. With the Stream Fan, I get almost 8 min of flight time out of a 5000 6S Battery. at 3 kg, my "Ford" is a little overweight, due to the fairly heavy metal retracs and my glass finish. Nevertheless, it's a very docile flyer that I don't wonat to miss. Kit quality was (of course) excellent. I just replaced some of the vac-formed parts on the air intakes with balsa blocks. Looking forward now to my F-84 (the kit is already here - just need to finish another project before. Michael
