KEN McCORMICK THE OWNER SENT THIS INFO OVER ON THIS MODEL –
This is a real beauty of an aircraft. Anyone who likes the war birds is bound to love this airplane. It has a large wing and very strong construction. Control surface size and the right tail moment give great flying characteristics, wide speed range, slow landings and precise aerobatics. For something that started off as just a vehicle to test the 2 wren 44 Turboprops before their eventual donor the 40% Pucara it is such An impressive aircraft. scale Landing gear is also included with the kit. It is designed exclusively for this aircraft. It is a piece of engineering of its own. The Tucano is an easy-to-assemble, easy -to-fly blast for any pilot interested in large-scale flight. Functioning scale flaps make takeoffs and landings a breeze. Factory-created scale detail like the canopy, cockpit, pilot, control surfaces… Its authentic ORACOVER covering supplies a superior sheen. The TUCANO ARF is part of PHOENIX MODEL’s complete line of top-quality aircraft and accessories.

Wren 44 gold turbo prop with a 24×14 prop adds more than enough power to this aircraft which was originally designed for a 60cc petrol. The modifications for the turboprop were relatively small and I think you would agree it is a wee bit of a show stopper and Andy smiles at every flight. My only regret was I didn’t buy 2 to make an even more stunning display.
the colour scheme is as the Brazilian Air Force
