The SPUTNIK, a F3A in EPP
Hi guys,
I'm happy to present to you the SPUTNIK   The SPUTNIK is a mini plane of 1,10m (43" ) wingspan entirely designed in EPP for F3A aerobatics. The geometry of the SPUTNIK and the airfoil of the wing, inter alia, were studied to approach to the maximum of the glide path and the piloting feelings of a 2 meters F3A plane - and this, even in a pretty strong wind! Have fun, Nicolas |

Re: The SPUTNIK, a F3A in EPP
Hi Ward,
Maybe to ask Skip MILLER : http://www.skipmillermodels.com/mercury.php Skip imported Topmodel products but he stopped last year. Since then we didn't have a serious importer... It's disappointing because Topmodel is a major in Europe now and they have many exclusive product. The Kosmos: post http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...-topmodel.html  The Viking: post http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...-gediplac.html  The Saturn: post http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...turn-back.html  A foam motor (best seller in Europe): post http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...oam-motor.html  ...

Hi guys,
You are still undecided to buy your Sputnik. You can try now the Sputnik on AeroflyPro Deluxe  Go to the tag “simulator” on the middle of the page: http://www.topmodel.fr/product_detail.php?id=17132 It's fun no Nicolas |

Re: The SPUTNIK, a F3A in EPP
I think the SPUTNIK is a great Outdoor offering and I ordered one from France.
I don't know of a US manufacture of a F3A Aerobatics type Plane? Ward |
