Ziroli "Champion" park flyer

Model Airplane News, Jun 2000 by Chianelli, Chris

Never one to be left out of the latest craze-or fun-the venerable Nick Ziroli has designed this 35.25-inch-wingspan Aeronca 7AC "Champion" Park Flyer. According to Nick, this little 10- to 11-ounce electric model is very close to scale (but of course!) and, despite its diminutive size, has 4-channel, full-house control.

Nick equipped the model with Modelair-Tech's Titanic 280 motor with 3:1 reduction transmission and prop set, Hitec's Feather receiver and HS-50 servos and an FMA Direct speed control. Nick says, "The Champ has been an enjoyable change of pace from designing giant-scale models." We hope to see more of the same from Nick. You'll definitely be seeing Nick's Aeronca featured in an upcoming Model Airplane News construction article.!
