 Multiplex Skycat
As previewed in our Nuremberg report a couple of months back, MPX have taken their foam range another step further by producing what looks to be a genuine aerobatic model.
And what’s more Skycat, whilst perfectly suited to electric power as you would expect, can accept glow engines too!
Looking first at the electric set-up for this 1M span model, Multiplex’ kit comes with a Speed 600 motor and gearbox (3:1) bundled; a 7-8 cell pack and speed controller will complete the set. As for glow, 20-size engines suit, and you will also need a 150ml tank.

COMMENTS: The model is NOT made of styrofoam but polypropylene particle foam. This material cannot be joined with white glue. Epoxy resin is reasonably effective provided the surfaces are sanded down. The manufacturer recommends using hot-melt adhesive and a glue gun.
