dylwad · 10-30-2006, 05:34 PM

The prototype came in at 17 ounces with a 3 cell 1320 and a hacker A20-22L.

It flies AWESOME!

Hi Dylan!!

Prototype flew at The Shootout this past weekend. All I can say is, it's sick. Best of both worlds -- precision and stick bangin'. I think this one is going to be an absolute hit! Stay tuned! I'll post some pics once I get through them.

I was very impressed with the plane. Looked to be a snap to put together. Fuse super stiff. Big airplane that comes in very light for it's size. Adam Bry flew the snot out of it!!

I found some pics of the prototype in the TAS photo gallery

How will it handle indoor flying? Maybe I missed it in this thread but what is the wingspan?

ombry · 10-31-2006, 10:32 AM

It was sick! The one I flew at the shootout was the original prototype. It didn't have full 3D throws and was a little tail heavy (Jason said the production version would have the firewall moved to correct for this), but it was definitely the best precision monoplane foamy I've ever flown. I think it was 17 oz but it felt lighter than my 13 oz Yak in the air. It's floaty when you want it to be, fast when you want it to be, and always smooth. It was already doing good 3D with about 20-30 degrees of throw all around, so I'm sure with 40-50 it will be incredible. I'll definitely be buying one when they come out.

Hey Guys,
Some quick specs for those who missed it.

40" span
38" long
344 square inches wing area
241 square inches side area
16.5~21.5 ounces
7-9 ounces per square foot wing loading.

I cant wait to see the printed versions.

Are there any pics? The ones in the link above are all of a heli. That'd be one heck of a foamy, but not much of a plane.
