The Mercury Magna from Vintage Model Company is a really good kit and it flies very well using a brushless motor, an ESC, Lipo battery and with rudder & elevator control. Weight ready to fly is under the 250 gram limit.
Wow. I just received the VMC Romany, and the quality is fantastic. The wood selection reminds me of the old West Wing kits. The laser cutting is first rate, and the inclusion of a balsa propellor is a real bonus. This is a great re-imagining of a really good,poorly produced kit. I wish more of the West Wings kits would resurface.The VMC claim that this is probably one of the best free flight kits available is not wide of the mark. I have built kits from manufacturers all over the world, and can confirm this. Keep it up.
Fantastic kit and model. Excellent re-engineering of the original. I have been building FF for many years & VMC is absolutely at the top of the pile!
