Islander 2A twin engine RC Plane

[Predator]

I recently acquired a scratch build Par Avion Islander 2A twin engine RC plane from the builder Graeme C who has downsized his accommodation and was finding difficulty storing all his brilliant builds.

The Islander only needed some very minor repairs but at the same time I took the opportunity to install an FY-41AP Auto Pilot/Stabiliser with GPS, Circle Mode & RTH including RTH in failsafe mode.

Also converted the plane to counter rotating engines and fitted 1 x 8×6 cw standard electric prop and 1 x 8×6 ccw pusher electric prop. This setup negates and prop torque and makes for smoother take-offs and flights.

The plane also has switchable FAA navigation lights, multi position flaps & a steerable nose wheel.

Everything seems to be functioning correctly so all we need now is some decent flying weather to test it out.

Now the Islander is finished & ready to fly its time to start on the Foxbat Ultra lite that was acquired at the same time.

Well then, apart from installing the removable clears the Foxbat is finished, including radio programming & should be OK to fly.
