Fairey Swordsman
An original Aerokits model I built forty years ago, it was fitted with a Taycol wound field double special motor supplied from a 12v 7ah sealed lead acid battery. After taking advice from the clubs resident speed merchant (thanks Ray) I have fitted a Graupner speed 700 turbo 9.6 motor turning a 35mm two bladed prop supplied from 10 3700mah NiMH cells. Performance is now more scale like. I have now started a rolling refit to try and improve the models appearance Including cockpit detail and individual planked decks. Some may recognise the driver and passenger they are Starsky and Hutch.
