New Avro owner

[Bigbellypopper]

Hi All

Here are a couple of pictures of my new toy. Not had a chance to fly it yet, but if its looks are anything to go by, it should be a joy to fly.

I intend to use it for some FAI/F3C type flying. At the grand old age of 45, I have realised I am never going to be a 3D ace, but hopefully the more sedate looking FAI may be more my bag:ack2:

That's a very classy bird!

I saw an Avro on Saturday. I still think they are one of the most impressively designed / engineered helis I have seen.

Hey Russ, really nice machine there mate :cheers2:
Glad to know you're joining the ranks of us FAI/F3C flyer's.

Just like you, I'm a little bit too old for all this 3D malarkey !!

Cheers

So i've only got another 5.5yrs then before i'm past 3D??:( Yea it sure looked a very good quality heli when i saw it naked the other day (the heli not me:eek:)

Hey wasn't you supposed to be getting a new fence & not an Avro :D

Nice looking example Russ.

Did you build it.... seems to have all the extras including extra body mouldings and paint job etc

Nice:)

How about a few shots without the canopy?

Thanks

How much cleaner can you get it???

[Adrian]

Thats a real nice heli there :)

Having seen what these can do I surprised it hasn't sold more.... I suspect because its aimed more at FAI/F3C flying than 3D flying but they can 3D just heavier than the normal 3D heli's...

Good Quality British and flys well

Certainly a 90 I'd consider and the spares are not silly prices...

Nice heli Russ. I've always liked these since they came out but never really got the styling look of the fairings aft of the canopy though. Looks better with them removed I reckon.

Hope you have fun with it :)
