Dick Carville's new Akro Master
« on: February 28, 2012, 08:00:12 PM »
Here's Dick Carville's new scratch built Akro Master

He's using a Brodak power system.  Not flown yet.

Weighs 62 ounces with the battery.

This is my first attempt o post on this or any site. Hope it gets through.

I did not know Will Moore was going to post my new ship here.

Yes it is Lew McFarland's design. I got the plans from Model Aviation.

If it flys as well as the ST 60 ships I converted to elect last year I'll be a happy camper



Someone asked for pictures of the build .  Here are some

Dick:
WELCOME to SH and to the Electric Forum.  Looking forward to your sharing your great conversions and your fabulous new builds here.

Lew's Akromaster is often overlooked & underated - but it is a terrific flyer that looks great doing the pattern.  Looking forward to seeing yours - in Carmichaels???

Hey Dick!!! Glad you are posting now!

Looking forward to getting my Stiletto 660 dialed in some more with you soon!!! I hope you post more photos of your aircrafts for these guys...

Dick Carville's aircrafts are as clean and sharp as a model can be built. I always tease him about what a beautiful "Monokote" job he puts on his models... LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~
Dick puts on his models the most beautiful finishes along with the building.  H^^
