Title: Guillows Fairchild 24 (3ch RC conversion)
Post by: Konrad on Apr 21, 2026, 07:03 PM
Been flying this bird for close to two decades! Really need to replace the 3 cell batteries and upgrade to 2.4gHz. Love the classic overhead shot and the morning sun shining through the redwoods! Then there is the classic American past time of running the bases around the baseball diamond.

Well, etiquette dictates that I should credit the photographer. Sorry for the omission. All photos were by Henry Smith III.

I imagine that is fun Konrad - I do some small RC flying in a nearby park and it is very relaxing, but too short :) .

Too short as in battery life. Or being chased out of the parks by the local magistrate!😳
