I just bought on new in box. Will be installing an os 56 alpha engine in it. I also have the cessna 177 in a box keeping it for later. I have flown 2 cessnas earlier, but the first one broke the wing in half with a little bit too wild acrobatics :-) The other one is so old and yellowed in the plastic from UV damage that the plastic is brittle. This beaver, and my 3rd. new cessna are painted by thunder tiger, and that will protect the plastic from going brittle hopefully. Heres a video of my first cessna 17 years ago :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqK5lJuDgZeWgdU

Thanks for sharing your video of the Cessna 177. I have the Cessna also along with the Beaver. Back a few years ago I also had the Ready Mk3 on floats with a fourstroke engine. I have a video of it flying at the local lake in 2012. Cheers and kind regards.

Nice Super Frontier. Coincidentally, I have just acquired one. It has a .91 Saito in it and a great many large washers stacked and screwed onto the firewall. This appears to be a huge amount of noseweight for an airplane designed for a .46. Why so much, I wonder?
@easystar12313 күн бұрын
Hi John and good luck with your Super Frontier Senior. Its a great flying aircraft and you will love it. That sounds like a lot of nose weight. I have mine over 12 years now with a Saito 72 and to get the proper balance I had to add two medium sized bolts to the firewall. Regards Aidan.
