Mike has used his 58CD for the last 18 months and has found it 'an excellent engine in both a VMAR Dornier D27 and this modified Fokker'

He states 'the engines dimensions enable it to hide lower than the dummy engine.  This is a great deal of fun to fly and it looks and sounds great thanks to the RCV58CD'

Modifications to this ARF include: Williams Bros wheels and guns, Flair pilot, Ailerons moved to top wing in scale-like position, elevator modified to make counter weights operational, interplane struts replaced and repositioned, cowling changed for a more scale appearance, undercarriage narrowed to scale proportions.


The model required no extra nose weight due to the detailing and the engine weight.
