Giuseppe “Beppe” Fascione\u2019s first entry for the Kwik-Fli Mk. II reproduction was in late February 2011, but it wasn\u2019t until March 13, 2011 that he started an overall information page for the project. He updated this page as the project progressed and finished.<\/p>\n

To avoid date confusion, this is the only one of Beppe\u2019s entries that we are not sharing on the original date, and we are including some minor commentary regarding the provided information.\u00a0 And now, without further ado.\u00a0 It is time to officially let Beppe’s words take over.<\/p>\n

Modello: Kwik Fli Mk. II N.90
\nModello: by Phil Kraft, 1965<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a><\/p>\n

After a successful (but short lived) attempt in 2008, I\u2019ve decided that in 2011 I\u2019ll build another Kwik Fli Mk. II. To be more precise, I\u2019ll build four Phil Kraft\u2019s planes, the Ugly Stik, the Kwik Fli Mk. II, the Mk. III and the Midwest kitted Flea Fli + 10%. I have a complete kit for the Mk. III and a wing kit for the Mk. II. So the only real \u201cscratch-built\u201d part will be the Mk. II fuse and tail. I did it once already, I can do it twice!<\/p>\n

\"Scan<\/a><\/p>\n

After a lot of thought and test, I\u2019ve decide to use on this a\/c the ENYA 60 III with a G-8 Carb on a back plate. It\u2019s an engine I had planned to install on the Mk. III, but then I discovered the Top Flite kit calls for wood bearings, so I decided to use a Kraft 61 there. Additionally, Pete Waters modified my Kraft KP-4B transmitter, utilizing the guts of a basic Futaba FM transmitter, giving me not much, but at least the reverse switches!!! Therefore the airborne system can be Futaba, with modern 72mHz receiver and modern servos; the transmitter can be a modern Futaba with Dual Rates and Expo for the Pattern flights and the original, metal case Kraft 4B for the Concourse flights! Best of both worlds!<\/p>\n

As usual, I like to prepare my table with all the basic data.<\/p>\n
