This Aeromaster Too was built over 42 years ago by John Donovan of Donovan’s Hobby and SCUBA center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. John taught me to fly on this very same airplane, and now it is my honor to own it and fly it again, since John recently had a heart attack! He thankfully pulled thru it and will get to see this old biplane fly again. It was his show airplane for demonstrations. This is the first RC airplane I ever flew, and now I get to fly it again. Enjoy the flight footage and a little history.
This video was done in 2 flights, since the fuel pressure line inside the plane broke off the tank tubes and soaked the tank area, requiring me to take the tank and switch all out. Most old modelers can relate to that happening to them, including John. But challenge is part of the fun in this hobby, and as you can see I had a most rewarding time. Thanks John for teaching me to fly and for letting me obtain this Aeromaster again. Great memories for me.
