1938 Twin Cyclone RC Build and Flight

Build slide show and maiden flight video. Flight begins at 3:32. This is a 3/5 scale replica of the 1938 "Twin Cyclone" free-flight model airplane. It is an old kit, plans were drawn in the 1970's. It has been converted to all electric 3 channel radio control; dual rudders, elevator, throttle. I kept it old school and covered it with tissue paper. It flies great and rides lift like a true thermal hunter.
