This plane has been sitting on top a wardrobe for over 12 years gathering dust, so I decided to clean it up, glue it back together and see if it will fly. The restoration went pretty smooth. The original electronics work great, it is amazing how much thrust the brushed motor has on 2S li-po, especially considering that the ESC is rated up to 12V.
I am going to fly it with a HK 6ch non-programmable 2.4Ghz radio since I do not trust the old Multiplex to hold its power at this age. Will test fly it in a couple of days, when batteries arrive.
Stock specs are:
ESC: Simprop Electronic RS 21-10 21A 6-12V
Motor: some China no-name brushed motor
Servos: two MS-X4
Battery: Turnigy 2s 800mah li-po
Prop: 6x4
