70cc twin V2
John Greenfield latest scratch built radio controlled model aircraft was flown at its first public event at North London Model Flying Clubs Scale Day. This model weighs ~42KG and is powered by two Zenoah 62cc engines. The wingspan is an impressive 4.8 metres. John took 1 year to build the model and a further year to design and engineer the undercarriage. He hopes to fly it off water in the near future!

What an amazingly cool model. I really enjoyed watching that plane. Superbly built and flown. Crazy, over 188 inch wingspan and nearly 93 pounds. Flies as good as any smaller planes. What a landing too. Wow.
