Wheels,

I gotta admit I am a sucker for the green colour scheme, I reckon I would have a power setup that would be ideal for that. Hmmmmmmn very Tempting. Can ya give us a hint of price.

cheers,

Jeff

Here are some pics of the internals. The are some supprises from the earlier 50cc models, the fuel tank is pre-plumbed and pre installed. There is a tube that runs down the fuse for the elevator servo leads to make things neat, the cowl is ringed and fitted internaly leaving the outside neat and free of screws.
The hardwear has also been upgraded with anerdized ali pressure plates see pics, also included are safety clips for the servo conections. And finaly the pull pull rudder wires have been installed you only need to crimp and set them at the servo.

Cheers Mr 3D they are one of the best ARF planes around. Goldwing used to be called ARF Light and Fun, in Australia they are sold under the Dolphin banner like AXAR in Spain.

Well folks i managed to do a little bit of work on the new bird through the week. I assembled the undercarrige and also did some of the only glueing i will need to do! The Rudder, i just need to conect the pull pull ball linkage and thats complete.
