Bill Moores Astro 40 is powered by an Astro 40 FAI on 16 x 1700 mAh cells. Built in 1986 it flies very well and has won many club competitions for touch and go, limbo,

Art Chester Jeep
Art Chester Jeep. Terry Waltons own design drawn from 1/72nd scale drawings, 30% scale. Span: 60ins ,Weight: 8lbs ,Motor: Astro 40G Gearbox: 1.65:1 ,Prop: 13x8 APCCells: 20xSanyo 20000
The motor, gearbox, prop, cell combination is a good one and suited to a lot of models. The Mustang for example used the same comb, as will my next model, a Howard DGA-4 'Mike' from the RC Model World plans.
