Hi Dave,
no shame in paying an exorbitant, eye watering amount, of your hard-earned for the model you really want. We've all done it!
I'm intrigued though why you want the Flitzer. Fine flier that it is, i:whistle:i t's nnot a 'natural' for your favoured EDF (the air intakes are quite small . Are you planning to put in a TSP motor?
Above: Andy Blackwell with Chris Richards' Flitzer at OW this year. Chris is still using up his old Rapiers and the model never missed a flight. We still see several at meetings (they fly equally well with TSP L-2s.) though the kit has not been produced for some years now. I haven't seen an EDF version yet. I wonder if we can persuade VMC to make one?
