Return of the Prangster

Getting this back up and running, it was the trainer the i learnt to fly on with lots of help from John & Ian a great little plane and lots of fun so just a few bits to do like new engine, tank and cowl and she is ready to go at the Sunday Club this week

Do you think it'll fly with that chest freezer stuck to the wheels?

I didn't have enough lead so I think the freezer should just about balance her

I see the wife still needs to lock the freezer gary!

Hi Dave

You have made a good choice mate and as you know the Prangster is a great little trainer and takes many a knock.The 46 engine is spot on for this little plane and you will be surprised how well they perform in any weather condition, i flew mine one sunday in 45mph winds and she just laughed at me

The only weakness was the cowl which the engine mount bolts to but they now do a tougher cowl so yours may come with that Dave but to buy only a fiver they also do stronger braced wire legs but i never altered mine and found them okay

The flexi props are only a couple of quid and last forever so no more worry about coming in heavy and snapping the prop These are not the prettiest of trainers but i would high;y rate them to practice on as they certainly do become a good little friend to have in your Hangar 10/10

I have a 46 in mine mate so perhaps we could have a Prangster team in the club also

I look forward to seeing you down the field soon with that great little plane

I've been looking at them on you tube and am keen to have a go at some aerobatic stuff I wouldn't consider with a built up model. and yeah a bit of formation limbo and balloon popping sounds what I'm looking for...fun flying

If anyone else wants one theres one on the BMFA for £45 so be quick to miss the stampede
