STYLISH SPORTS AEROBAT

Based on the larger Chandelle, we have created a reduced span model for .40 motors to provide a handier sized and more aggressively aerobatic version of its svelte sister. It has that same superbly safe feeling to fly, totally controllable right down through the stall, you can indulge in fast or slow aeros at whim.

The same fast build techniques are employed with a tough ABS moulded fuselage, veneered foam wings with leading and trailing edges fitted and sheet tail surfaces, all pre-cut ply and balsa included as are large clear canopy, shaped u/c, moulded spats and fairings, instructions, basic hardware and coloured name graphics (sorry the flame graphics shown are not included - these were hand cut from Solartrim)

A separate accessory pack containing, fuel tank, engine mount, wheels, collets, screws, nuts and bolts, snakes, clevises and horns is available.

It was reviewed in August 96 issue of Aviation Modeller International.

Production status

As I am no longer making and selling Vendetta you will have to contact Phil Dorren for one either by telephone at 01288 341117 or email phild(usual symbol for at)waitrose.com Phil works primarily as a consultant in computing support will and sell the models via mail order as well as at future shows. He may also have something ready very soon for those of you who prefer to concentrate on electric flight, the recent advances in electric power have enabled him to finish off what I had made a start on with the Electric Moonraker and develop electric versions of Chandelle and Vendetta as well.
