Multiplex Cargo.

This has to be one of the most interesting planes I have seen for quite a while, and the first 4 engined plane I think I have ever seen. It is a called a Cargo, built out of foam and made by Multiplex, the same manufacturer of the Pico Jet / Twin Jet among others. It flies very well, but not overly fast, especially when loaded with sweeties. Being electric you would expect it to be quiet...but it isnt. The motors and props are quiet, but the reduction gearing from the motors to the props sounds like a bag of nails. A very big bag of nails. It has been a favourite at our recent public displays, particularly with the kids, but unfortuanley took a bit of a nose dive and gained some damage recently at our Family Fun Day.

But on the whole, a very slow flying, stable model which should generate plenty of interest at any flying site.
