(I was 11 - it was a long time ago). The build was a -lot- like the Centuri instructions posted to YORP- but I distinctly recall that it was a 2 motor cluster with C6s recommended. I recall a flight where one motor started late and the model ended up in cruise missile mode. And a second flight where I got antsy and flew on Bs - really low.
So any ideas what kit it might have been?
