The wings are hollow out foam core with balsa sheeting. Thank you for your kind remarks and showing interest in our plane.

thanks

$680 bucks, huh? I suppose there is a limit of 10 but I'll learn to live with it! LOL! A few pages back we were all wanting info...... A few pages forward and we got all the info to get us all drooling from the corners of our mouths! Bring on the sample videos before you give us the long verson in three days! I'm seeing a feeding frenzy here! I really like the "eyeball" cooling openings in the cowl that is reinforced with the carbon. Question: In post #1, your #6 picture shows the 342 with the hinged canopy hinged on the left side. (As you are seated in the cockpit) On the Sbach (Sloair) website it is shown hinged on the right side on the prototype. Is this just a reverse picture? Which side is the ARF going to have? Truly a unique feature for an ARF!

Bravo we have tried very hard to make this plane as scale as possible and your suggestion is duly noted, the production model will have it on the right side, thank you for taking time out and giving us your feedback.

Hmmmmmmm...... RCxtreme and the whole R&D department is watching this thread continously. Any hints, problems, etc. looks like they will be taken care of at a moments notice. At the rate this thing is advancing, it oughta be shipping in a few days! LOL!

Jpen yes we have a website but rite now it is under construction, will be update in few days, yes currently we are working on two more aerobatics airplanes, which i am afraid we will be unable to disclose until the prototypes have flown

MX304 · 08-10-2009, 04:20 PM

Please let one of them be a SCALE MXSR

Thanks WangoTango- I was not aware of the new receivers for this application!
This is part of what makes FG so beneficial and useful!
Maybe you can edit some so the post isn't so bo-dacious?

vwchad · 08-10-2009, 07:21 PM

After checking out the Sloair website, http://www.sloair.com/, I thought of a couple more questions.

1) What kind of customer support can we expect? Will warranty issues and replacement parts have to be sent to/from Pakistan?

2) Do you have any legal agreements with Sloair to produce models of their airplanes, right down to the color schemes? The reason I ask is that many companies get really protective over their products and designs. Redbull is one that comes to mind. They get really tweaked about people using thier color schemes, logos, and name, even on RC planes. I'd hate to see everyone get excited about this plane and then have you get shut down due to some legal issue.
