This was my first adventure Into kit building but having been In building rc planes so was not detered by the complexity of this 7 seater model. Much alteration took place as the model progressed to Improve motor and lipo access. She has an 850 brushed motor, a 320 amp fan cooled ESC and carries 2 x 5000 lipos. She was built during the last 3 months of 2013 and has only one outing and that was with 2 very old lipos, she now has 2 very expensive lipos that should be able to deliver the power the motor requires. She was Initially coated with 4 coats of polyurathene marine varnish being lightly rubbed down between coats. This varnish has a short shelf life once the tin Is opened but gives a substantial thickness and Is extremely hard. The down side Is a new brush Is required for each coat as I could not find a supplier of the correct brush cleaner, the varnish goes off so quickly that It drags and I found that I could not get a smmoth enough finish. After the final rub down I finished with a yacht varnish, much thinner and dries more slowly. The passangers are by a variety of manufacturers some having to go under the knfe In order to get them to scale.
