[MonsieurTox]

Good morning MonsieurTox I see we have much in common in the hobby world, I also had a GWS F4U Corsair some time back and it was a excellent flying plane and was very scale looking with respect to take off landing as configured. I built it very light and that made a big difference. I still have an operational GWS Zero and Mustang on the flight line.

Good morning Modler

Yeah we have even more because when I was a kid I always wanted to convert my 1/35 Kits to RC ! Unfortunatly, unlike you I never been able to do it, batteries were too big and all the electronic as well (or super expensive, no Aliexpress back then ).

Yeah the GWS Corsair was great ! And beautiful, I guess the Zero and Mustang should be the same !
Unfortunatly now I moved I dont have place to fly planes. However I bought 2 Eachine parkflyers, the Corsair (how surprising ) and the Spitfire. So I still can fly

Yes, the model you mention has Fruialmodel metal tracks. It is a 1/35 Tamiya (1975) Chieftain Mk.5 motorized remote control version. It is also a scale runner with a modified Taigen Transmitter. I bought the Chieftain from a chap in Britain a few years ago via ebay. It was new in an unopened box. I will do a thread on that one soon.

The friulmodel metal tracks are great stuff ! That's a nice looking Chieftain you have there (I had this kit but like all the Tamiya kits of this era, I ended using them to kitbash my star wars filmining miniature replicas ).

I can also see some nice Bulldozers !

You mentionned you were modifying your transmitters, I understand the additionnal switch you put on them are for low (correct me if I'm wrong), but sometimes I see 2 switches ?
