Our good friend Stephen Thomas checked in with us and we learn that he will be bringing his impressive 1/3 scale Ralle Morain again to compete at Top Gun.
With an big 158-inch wing span and a weight of 55 lbs., the Morain is controlled by a JETI 16 channel radio system. The nicely detailed composite aircraft is powered by and powerful 3w 150cc twin gasoline engine turning a Xoar 29×10 beech wood propeller. Since last year Stephen has added an amazingly detailed
scale cockpit and surface details. The civilian airplane is painted with enamel paints just like the full size and the model is based on a full-size plane operating out of le Fertalais France. Stephen says he’s put a lot of stick time in with this impressive entry and hopes to do well this year.
Road to Top Gun — Stephen Thomas — Ralle Morain
Nice to see something different other than the usual Mustangs, Corsairs, etc. How many of the old military types I have seen over the years….. Gets old. Really a nice looking model here from what I can see of the two pictures….
