BEECHCRAFT MODEL 18 "TWIN BEECH" - TWO OS 60cc PETROLS - BUCKMINSTER WARBIRDS # 2 - 2019

NOTE FROM STEVE THE PILOT / OWNER -

Two x OS 60cc petrol engines. Futaba radio with NIMh flight batteries and NIMh ignition batteries, bit old school but it suits the servos and ignition systems. Built by Dave Gibbs from the Blackdown Club.

The model is about one year old and I was the test pilot before buying it from Dave. One of the reasons Dave sold it was it took so much effort to get it in and out of his car. I’ve replaced a few servos for new More powerful ones on the ailerons and elevators. The model has been painted to look more like a well used one than a brand new fresh one.
