Bill Smith's Wen Mac powered modified 'Firebaby'

Bill's modified 'Firebaby' powered by a Wen Mac Mk III. Bill shortened the front end to handle the extra weight from the Wen Mac rotomatic starter. The plane was built light as Bill wanted to be able to do basic stunts with the Wen Mac powering the plane. He also used a vintage Tornado presswood 6x3 prop. Fuel is SIG 25% Champion. Line length is 28 feet of 'spider wire'.

Cool Video. Thanks for posting it.
It's nice to see those old Wen Mac / McCoy .049's still being used.
