Resurrecting a classic RC Combat Gremlin

This Bird belonged to my grandfather. After a lengthy restoration we took it out to a club fun fly. It had not flown in nearly 20 years. Although it met its demise during a club combat competition it flew wonderful.

I probably built 50 of those things. The OS40FP was a perfect engine for those little planes. I think I still have plenty of wings in the attic. They were a blast.

I couldn't agree more! Every gremlin I have had has had a 40 on it. Makes for a great sport flyer and even better for club combat. I am planning to cut wing cores for future builds. I am flying currently my 5th gremlin.

Lol does this person know how to fly rc planes ever video end with a crash

[@rubberchickenaeronautics3643]

Well this one was totally my fault. I got disoriented flying combat and dumb thumbed it in. Happens to the best of us. The other crash videos I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time with a camera 😉
