New! RaptorGS 4 channel 3d micro! *Now with Video*
Hello all,
This is a sneak peak of the new Raptor GS 3d micro plane. The airframe is designed by ETOC pilot and Tuscon Shootout winner, Ryan Archer and the graphics are courtesy of yours truly!  This plane has been in development for over a year now, and we've been dragging our feet a little bit, but everything is finally in place. Most recently, a lighter and more powerful motor was found that will be the powerplant of this little beast. Let's get down to the nitty gritty here. Specs Auw: 28g Empty weight(no battery) 25g Wingspan: 16.5" 4 channel, rudder, elevator, ailerons servos: Falcon 1.6g (1.7g with connector) BA 2.5g servo for ailerons Airframe: 2 mm EPP foam, silkscreen printed 6.8g ESC: XP-7a lightened to 2g Motor: AP03 3.17g outrunner including mount 45g of thrust Prop: 4025 Battery: 140mah 1 cell lipo 20c Depron foam suport structure zbends carbon bracing for leading edge of the wing, wing support, pushrods tail support control horns, servo arms (plywood) motor mount (plywood) 2s Version: Comes with 2s lipo and C05 motor Weighs approximately 6 grams more More power, but not as floaty or slow, works with spektrum Ar6300 no mods Because this plane is micro and 3d, it is meant for intermediate and advanced pilots. Those who have worked with micro components and 3d foamies, and flown a little 3d. This plane is about the same size as the Parkzone Micro Citabria. It is meant for casual 3d flying in your garage, backyard, hover practice in your house, etc. It is small enough to fly in very tight spaces. This plane will come as 3 different versions. Receiver ready, with everything listed at the top, as a kit to be used with your own equipment, or it can be used with the new Parkzone 4 channel equipment. We chose EPP foam to make it one of your longer lasting planes in your fleet. After bashing it in the living room a bunch of times without a ding on it, I can see how important EPP is for a plane like this! -Josh available at 2dogrc.com, axonracing.com, and soon to be available at bsdmicrorc.com Raptor GS for Real Flight G4.5!!! http://www.knifeedge.com/forums/down...o=file&id=9293 Modeled by Tony Elms and Real Flight 3.5! http://www.knifeedge.com/forums/down...o=file&id=9311 Hotel Room Flying - Matt Stringer
