hi All
Many years ago i built Strega ,it was a Windy style stunt ship with a Saito 72 four stroke motor ,it topped the scales at 74 ounces flew great but when i got the electric bug it was put out to grass as it was too heavy,this year instead of building a new stunt ship i decided to build a new fuz ,one of the pictures below shows the front end of the fuz ,oil soaked it weighs 6 ounces and the whole fuz when made in 2000 was only 7.5 ,
power is supplied by a MVVS motor 8.0/950 ,at only 210 grams with the power of a 75 i/c motor should do well
i won a major comp last month with i believe the first electric with retracts
Question has anyone got one and can you tell me about it

Paul:
Nice Strega, cool shirt, GREAT trophy!
Got confused, did you fly the Strega converted for retracts & electric to witn that cup - or was that another bird?
I used an ARF Strega to develop the big power system for Brodak - 80 oz, Arrowind 3526, 6Sx2800. The motor doesn't know the airplane is there, but my SHOULDER always knows! Gave it to my brother as an incentive to build something to replace it - he has not yet.
