Flex innovations RV-8 super PNP
Has anyone seen this announcement? 75" RV-8 foamie:
https://www.flexinnovations.com/product-p/fpm3570a.htm Also available in night flyer version: https://www.flexinnovations.com/product-p/fpm3580a.htm Flies on 6s, new 70-sized motor turns a 17.5-7 prop, 100 amp esc, weighs about 10 lbs 3 oz with 1,120 square inches of wing area. Looking at the video, capable of mild 3d flying, but most folks will probably do a mix of sport aerobatics and slow flying with flaps (STOL capability shown in the video). Aileron/flap full-wing mixing pre-programmed into the Aura when using high rates. With the loss of the carbon-z t-28, I was worried that nobody would produce "big" foamies anymore. This one is semi-scale, can do some STOL flying, solid sport aerobatics, and some basic 3d. I'm pretty excited. Floats available. Or will be soon. It looks like the pilot figure is removable, so you can either paint it or replace it with a more realistic one if you want. Edit: I finally figured out how to get some of the pictures off the website. Here is one of the RV-8 on floats with Quique for size reference: |

I'm in !!!
Just (pre) ordered one and a couple of batteries with their intro price on plane and $20 off batteries.
I had sworn that I would never have a big heavy foam airplane of this size again after all the issues with my T-28 and it's ultimate demise from continuous retract problems killing the BEC in the ESC. Last one resulted in total loss of the airplane. Loved flying it other than the random and apparently un-fixable design/equipment issues. Anyway I love the full-sized Vans RV aircraft having helped build and flown several RV-3, -4, -6, and -8. Looking forward to this fun to fly not too heavy scale-ish plane for those relaxing days. QQ sure made it look good, and that flying he demonstrated is just what I have in mind. |
