Graupner Amigo II: Vintage Classic vs. New Build! - Part 2

This is part 2 of my time travel back to the beginning of my RC modelling career with the Graupner Amigo II that I built together with my father back in 1980s. It actually survived until today collecting dust in the old workshop at my parents’ home. In this 2-part video series I will clean off the dust, repair it and even try to bring it back into the air. I will also build a new Amigo 2 from a laser cut kit with all of today’s tools and materials in my well known time lapse mode. At the end I'll put the modern Amigo 2 to the test against my 40 year old vintage Amigo. Join me on this interesting and for me also quite emotional journey.
