Notes | Tim's first kit, he says that she was an easy build and only required 3 clicks of down trim and was steady as a rock. Tim also states that with the 6XA's flaperon option, it makes for some real slow, smooth landings. |

Notes |
This is called the "Sweepee" and my first scratch build, or built from plans depending on which side of the fence you sit on with that issue. The plane and plans were reviewed in the August '89 Model Aviation magazine.
The wing span is 62" and fuse is 48". The first flight was not the best. After take-off and on a down wind leg a bad soldering job on the elevator control horn came loose and down it went. As bad as the crash sounded, when we got to the plane it didn't look too bad. This picture is from the weekend following the crash all fixed up. Flight performance is great. No trim required!! It hovers nice and slow at about a 45 degree angle and looks very unusual in the air. A fun plane |
