NAME THAT PLANE!!
My buddy Barry just picked up one SWEET lookin' bird. Unfortunately, we have no idea what model it is!! I've been searching http://images.google.com but haven't come up with anything. It's at least a 120 size. I've never seen anything like it! The most notable thing is the cowl...the whole bottom piece is like a giant chin that runs the entire length from nose to the TRAILING edge of the wing! I tried to get a shot of it in the first couple pics...you can even see where it bolts up in the front and covers that huge tuned pipe. Here are a few pics with the happy new owner.
Anybody know what model this is?

Re: NAME THAT PLANE!!
Looks like some sort of pattern plane. Maybe a scratch built?

. It looks like it has servos in the wing. . . I would guess it is some kind of Radio Control (R/C) airplane. . . . . How fast does it go? How high does it fly? . .

Re: NAME THAT PLANE!!
YES!! WE HAVE A WINNER, I BELIEVE!!! Dick Hanson Excess seems to be it. Here's another pic I found:
 So, were these things kits that people had to build up? Any recommendations on throws? We're looking for setup info. Man, thank you very much!! I noticed Mr. Hanson is also a member of this forum, so I will send him a PM and link him here. |

Re: NAME THAT PLANE!!
It almost looks like a raven in some ways. Well the fuse does.
