After using an RCV 58CD in a Skyshark Fantasy, Tony decided to convert another kit to use an RCV58CD.  This time a Hobbico ARF, which was recovered in Red Monokote

The original engine mount was also replaced.  Tony comments:-

'It was a fairly easy installation, balancing with 14g in the tail.  It flies very nicely with characteristics very similar to the original OS .46 using the same 10% nitro mix.  The RCV is much more fuel efficient and the engine is sounding an running better as time goes on.' 
Most of the time this combination flies at half throttle.
