Mystery Ship
Travel Air’s were flown by the top race pilots of
the early 30’s, Frank Hawks, Jimmy Doolittle, Doug Davis and others all flew
Model R’s. Doug Davis won the 1929 Thompson Trophy Race in the
#31, often called the travel Air “Mystery Ship.”
The Rough and Ready Aviation version of the “Mystery Ship” makes a great little
pylon racer, as well as a fun flying sport model. It is best suited to outdoor
or larger indoor sites

Note:
Receivers:
Because of the various radio systems in use today, we do not attempt
to stock and sell receivers. Obviously using the smallest, lightest
receiver practical is advantageous. All our prototype testing is
done with Spektrum Ar 6100E receivers which weigh about 4 grams.
Batteries:
For flying the racers we recommend using a 2 cell 7.4 volt 300 -350 mAh
LiPo typically weighing around
20 -22 grams.
Due to the uncertainty in the supply of LiPo batteries lately, we suggest that you source your batteries from your local hobby shop or at one of the following links.
