Gas AMR 42% Super Decathlon Build / DLE 222 - BBKING

Well it's official. Today I should be receiving my next kit from AMR-RC.

I can't thank Michel enough for the many, many emails the last few weeks over what kit to build next engine choices and help with my cub kit that is nearly completion of sticking up.

For those of you that haven't figured it out yet, I am not a very experienced builder. I am always learning and working to be as good as many people I look up to. Mike Fritz, Terry Tripp, Trev Brum and MANY Others have taught me a lot about building. This is only my 4th airplane kit build but I was not sure I could handle building a plane of this size. I decided to try the AMR Cub first to get back into building and it is going so well I have decided to jump in and go for it Michel says this plane is even easier to build than the cub.

Here are some specs on this beast...

Wing span: 165"
Fuse length: 108"
Wing area: 4 620 Sq. inches
Plug-in wing and stab panels

I will be powering this plane with a DLE222 that is also coming in the shipment due for this afternoon. Servos will be my favorite Hitec's the 7954sh running on 7.4 volts

The colour scheme for this plane will be of a restored super decathlon #VH-MCM. It is an olive drab warbird scheme I think looks great on this plane!!!

Re: AMR 42% Super Decathlon Build / DLE 222 - BBKING

That will be wicked !!!!!!!

And you were talking about getting an invite

You just wrote your own ticket LOL

Now we nered to find a suitable location wothy of all these big planes.
Some place that is fairly central for all to attend.

Aurora was Ok last year. But with the increased number of large planes that are being built this winter. And the fact that Aurora now has a further shrunken air space due to more building construction nearby.
Aurora is not feasible

Re: AMR 42% Super Decathlon Build / DLE 222 - BBKING

Well i got the boxes.......

The short one was 50 lbs and the tall one is 70 lbs!!!! So much stuff in here. I barely got the boxes in my car. Got them home and upstairs for now but I had to pull the engine out to take a look.

Cant wait to get cracking, but I am not Trev and will do one at a time!
