I have a new bird to fly! A Lanier Fokker D.VII ARF. Follow the flights on its own page!

Purchased the airframe at a swap meet. Had a couple servos at home, bought 2 batteries, motor, ESC, receiver, 2 more servos and some odds & ends to get this bird ready for the air.

The receiver is an interesting animal. No crystal. It scans for and locks onto the first 72MHz transmitter it finds. Once setup, it remembers the channel and is good to go! Being a six channel receiver, I have configured the plane to use flaperons. Will be interesting to see how well that works out!

More details to come!
