Happy Days:
I must say Kieran’s bald eagle looks very life like. It even has a twig in it’s mouth ready for some nest repairs. :P

And Wally’s Bird of Time seems to enjoy a spot of soaring too. I’m not sure what the third model is. Looks to have an all moving tail. Probably one of Fred’s favourites,………after all, it’s got air brakes! :roll:

hi keith,

it's the mpx flamingo contest from the mid 90's.  looks spectacular in a high banked turn with the black colour tipped with the day-glo orange and green.
i must see if i have a photo to show you.

Happy Days:
Yeah, I’ve looked up some pictures of the Flamingo, Ger.

In close up it’s very “Alpina-ish” isn’t it. Although the tailplane is mounted slightly higher, and it obviously has a different airfoil.

Good ol’ Multiplex! :D

gerryb:
some more photos...........

light winds from the north have been with us for some time, so floaters and electric models are the order of the day.this is george's middle phase, a very nice all-rounder especially for beginners, handles strong winds with ease.
