RC Airplane Flying OS 20 powers the Sterling Mambo

Starting and flying a 1955 Sterling "Mambo" kit built balsa Radio Controlled airplane. Hand launched in a farmer's field it is flown on several "fly bys" and then taken way up as high as a speck where the engine finally runs out of fuel. The plane then glides down to a green grassy landing, to fly another day.
The wing span is 48 inches. The engine used is an older model OS .20 running on Omega 10% nitro glow fuel. A Jr. radio is used with three servos for Rudder, Elevator and throttle controls. This airplane was built in 1982, and has been flown every year since!

What a wonderfully stable old ship! I enjoyed watching it fly.

Check out "Albemarle Bomber" and from there see my "Turbo Beaver"
