La Paloma E Plan

George Stringwell thinks that of all his recent electric R/C conversions of vintage free flight models this 30-inch biplane is the prettiest. It is based on George Woolls’ ‘La Paloma’ biplane from 1956, but with extensive changes to make it a practical everyday model, albeit sticking faithfully to the original outline and much of the original basic structure. For 30 – 50 Watt motors, 12 A ESC and 2S 450 mAh LiPo pack.
