I don't know if I am ready for F3A flying yet, but Winners Model recently sent me some photos of their newest F3A electric offering:

Looks Nice!

Looks like it will be available toward the end of December.

Looks very nice and modern compared to their previous offerings. It also looks a lot like a small Krill models Spark. It just needs the leading edge dog tooth. I had a WM Groovy once and it was a decent ARF. This one looks better.

Thanks Frank, I sent Milehigh RC a e-mail.

Pricing?

Who knows Milehigh is not going to stock it but will SP order it. That tells me its to much.

Hi guys,

Here is the test flight video for this kit:

WM Rainbow F3A 50E (6 min 31 sec)

E setup for reference:

Motor: Dualsky XM4255EA/505KV, 1000W, 250g brushless outrunner.
ESC: Hobbywing Platinum 80A
Servo: Hitec HS-65MG*3; HS-5245MG*1 (Rudder)
Battery: Fullymax 6S 2600mah 35C
Prop: APC 14*7E
Weight: 1925g (without battery)

I think a lot of these places drop ship from China...if you know of any U.S. companies that stock WM products in the U.S., I'd be interested to learn about that. I certainly wish this were the case, because Frank and Winners Models is a great company who have done some innovation, and I wish them growth in the U.S. market.

Hey, that's a big servo on the rudder...pull pull?
