Despite me deciding that I was going full electric, a conversation with a club mate about the primeval satisfaction of firing up an engine and the smell of burning glow fuel, I decided I need a new model in my life. And this is it, a Kyosho Calmato Alpha 60 Sports. The kit claims to be able to be put together without glue which seems like cheating to an old balsa basher like me but we will see…..
A few goodies to go with it….the engine is an OS81 Alpha 4 stroke which I was lucky to get as they are no longer made and at a bargain price.
Unboxing…the contents seem well wrapped and secured and as Chris would say, a nice bible (instruction book)
Accessory pack opened showing landing gear, EP & GP motor mounts, fuel tank and sundries other items….very complete.
Yep this one has static undercarriage and will be staying that way.
First job install the ailerons. These are screwed to the mounting plates in the same way I used on the Challenger, except these appear to have been 3D printed….
I’ll join the wings later so for now the steerable nose landing gear leg was installed. This will have it’s own sperate servo which the instructions call for a it to be connected via a Y lead to the rudder servo, however, I will mix it to a separate channel on the rx.
Next job was to join the fuselage halves which are located by 3 aluminium tubes, here shown inserted in the front part of the fuselage.
