Pilatus B4 1/3.3 Scale at Rhossili Down, Wales

Posted on April 9, 2011 by slopeflyer

This is a beautiful scale pilatus, which is the Karel Vegencraft kit. It is fully moulded. It is 4.5m wingspan.

This is the glider that got me into RC scale slope soaring. After having a long go on the sticks of this baby, thanks to the generosity of its owner, i was hooked for life.
