Review: The CG Mirage 550 (Part II)

tex2html_wrap167 tex2html_wrap169

New RC pilot Andrew Wilmette's stock Mirage 550 took to the air in mid-January. These are thumbprints of the pictures taken during the first flight. There are many Mirage 550 fliers on the Net.

This is the second in a 3-part series about my experiences modifying the Carl Goldberg Mirage 550. Last month, I gave an overview of the kit and outlined some of my modifications to the structure (lightening holes, dihedral mods, ailerons). This month I'll highlight the motor and battery system for ``glow'' performance, and next month we'll put the whole package together!
