This thread in German It's a big all fg-airex-sandwich carbon composite airframe for twin 90mm fans, made by Airworld Germany; http://www.airworld.de/Englisch/Index.htm the rest of the components, well you can guess where most of them (esc, batts) will come from ... Edit : Me-262 flyby added March 2012 :

These new TS EDF motors look interesting, they supposedly run very cool :

Hello Herb.
Gorgeous ME262! detachable nacelles and scale gear! NICE! Pricey boat motors though! Figured you'd steer clear of those types..... and not because of the price! Have you settled on 6S,9S or 12S? Maybe I'm wrong but 6S seems low to me for the size of that jet. Cheers! Bruce |

It is quite light ! That's why I decided to go ahead and get one
You might be referring to another similar sized model out there, I think it was us-made and it's a real lead sled at 30+ lbs. The Airworld Me-262 is in a completely different class, no comparison imo. A high performance all-composite airframe. wingspan 200 cm = 80 '' length 175 cm = 70'' Original Me-262 ws = 12.5m, length = 10.58m Thus the scale is approximately 6.2:1 The empty airframe weights are as follows: fuse 32.1 oz wing 47.6 oz nacelle (each) 9.1 oz two elevators 8.2 oz --------------------- empty airframe weight = 106.1 oz = 6.6 lbs = 3.01 kg Very light, esp. the fuselage. The wing is one piece, and very strong (turbine grade). Estimated weight rtf should be in the 14-15 lbs range . |

Bare aiframe as in the pic below, 106 oz
Gel-coated silver painted-in-the mold fiberglass (not polyester), with lots of carbon fiber reinforcements in the wing, fuselage, elevators and nacelles. Specifically: fiberglass fuseleage and nacelles, fiberglass-airex-fiberglass sandwich (wing), and fiberglass-balsa-fiberglass sandwich (elevators). . |

She sure is big ! The 2m wing just barely fits lenghtwise in my suv
Uncle Joe (Joe Balaban) should be awarded a major prize for flying this thing on nicds @ 20 lbs & 1800W total ... I am collecting some scale documentation & possible paint schemes, http://hyperscale.com/index_air_messerschmitt.htm http://www.modelingmadness.com/kitindex/kitindexmno.htm http://www.stormbirds.com/warbirds/index.html http://www.militaryaircraft.de/pictu...62/Me-262.html http://www.me-262.de/home/home.php |
