Toot Sweet

Engine : OS40FS Surpass
Peter Miller plan, free with September 2002 RCM&E. Having retired the DH71 my OS40FS Surpass was lying idle until I saw this design for that engine. Not the prettiest model but Peter Miller says it performs well so here is my attempt. Covered in Profilm by my son Mark Maiden flight seemed a bit under powered, may fit the SC52 from the autogyro.Flying shots to follow.
