![]() ![]() Although the designer does mention the feasibility of powering the model with a 120-watt electric motor, he offers no advice or guidance on making the requisite conversion to the airframe. Many pilots poised to purchase this second iteration of the Streaker might be firmly fixed on flying electric-powered models and find themselves fairly determined to go with a fuss-free, brushless electric power system. Electric-motor technology of that era most likely offered pilots no viable option for powering such a model with an electric motor. With an approximate wingspan of 35 inches, it was originally designed to be powered by a Cox. This model was originally released in roughly 1975 under the Allied Products brand. "AFTER 46 YEARS, the 1/2A Streaker is back!" With that bit of marketing flash, designer Dick Russ, of Dick Russ Models, recently announced the resurrection of one of his classic 1/2A kits, the Streaker. The main gear is a small, 1/16-inch diameter wire that is excessively springy and flexible and exacerbates the wild ground tracking created by the model’s lack of a tail wheel.No included guidance or instructions for pilots who might prefer to use an electric power system.Postage-stamp size assembly photographs offer builders limited assistance.Single sheet of full-size construction plans.Precut foam-core wing halves and formed plastic canopy.Nostalgia comes to life with the re-release of this nearly 50-year-old legacy 1/2A kit.Ready-to-fly weight (with a 3S 1,000 mAh pack): 17.4 ounces (493 grams) Radio system: RadioMaster T16S MAX 16-channel transmitter LemonRX LM0034 six-channel receiver Radio: Two channels required three channels if using an electric power systemĬonstruction: Balsa, light plywood, and foamĮSC: Cool Running 25-amp with a 3-amp BECīattery: RCBattery 40C 11.1-volt 1,000 mAh The forthcoming EP, MIND, recorded at Diamond City Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn by Johnny Schenke (Parquet Courts, The Drums, Snail Mail) is out March 4th, 2022 via Montreal-based label Mothland.Weight: 19 to 23 ounces (539 to 652 grams) “A blaze of energy onstage” wrote CLASH magazine, while The FADER called their 2019 release “razor-sharp modern punk that harkens back to the icons of the genre.” The band quickly became known for their precise and frenetic pace, which lays the foundation for Bushell’s explosive performances. MIND is careening disco, seductive R&B, rhythmic onslaughts and pure fun with a punk edge, packed into 14 minutes.īefore taking these recent creative leaps, Grim Streaker made their name in venues and DIY spaces all over North America (playing alongside METZ, IDLES, Surfbort, A Place To Bury Strangers and more). The result is MIND a surreal, subversive world of four songs that reflects on the current state of mental health, laughable social constructs and the inescapable working grind. Bassist Bill Dvorak and drummer Piyal Basu locked tightly into pulsating, danceable frameworks. Dan Peskin (guitars/electronics/synths) built a genre-bending brand of punk to match. Amelia’s performances became more vulnerable and more playful, yet still unsettling. This triggered a quick departure from their previous incarnation. In light of the pandemic, singer and lyricist Amelia Bushell moved to Vancouver, Canada, which channeled a new creative process for the now pan-american band-turning fragments of work written at their Bushwick, Brooklyn studio into living, breathing, virtual collaborations. Grim Streaker’s energetic strain of art-punk is the only constant for the restless Brooklyn & Montreal quartet. ![]()
