    I've got one of those. Looks exactly like your's. Built it about 30 years ago and still flying better than ever with smaller servo's replacing standard size ones and smaller receiver. Mine is powered by a G Mark 061 which pulls it around nicely.

      Thank you for your appreciation. I'm at this time a little far from modelling for personnal reasons, but I enjoy your videos Mark !

      You can find the plan on outerzone.co.uk ! For the engine you have many option, second-hand Mills are common, but MPjet produces the very nice Classic 040 !

    Hi,Vincent ,what size prop are you using and what is the ready to fly weight?.My Irvine Mills does not seem powerful enough for a heavy model.

      Hi, propeller is 7*4. Weight is 400g. Power is weak (far less than a good Cox 049 babe bee). Power varies with fuel mix : try to reduce oil content and increase petrol. I run with 25% castor oil.

      They can, but not this one. It's a replica of a 50's free flight engine.

      @@laneends in the UK you can find diesel fuel from modeltechnics, D1000, D2000 or D3000. As I'm living in France I have to mix my own fuel.
