What folks may not have noticed is that the Model plane included in the Schneider Trophy Challenge download is a real flying model. I'm kind of crazy like that. I don't like building models that don't do something worthwhile :D
Yes, it's not very complex and it's small, but it flies extremely well. Loosely based off of the Macchi race plane that I built a much more complex model for.
Nothing really special here, just thought I'd share for fun. Fly like you would any other plane, no special controls or pre-flight checklists on this one. Just start on the water ;P
HAPPY FLYING!
