Chris sold the B-52 after a rebuild,however the electric motors were worn out,I believe it finished up in a model museum ?
The problem with these large models is that the large wings can act like an antennae if ferrite rings are not used to stop interferance,there is some mention of this in the BMFA handbook.
Chris certainly is a prolific modeller,he also flew Hawker Hunters and other jet aircraft in the R.A.F .
Some of his electric designs amaze me that they fly at all with electric ducted fan power,they must be high revving motors hence why the B-52 electrics were well worn !
