Is it foam or composite? Is it going to be mass produced and sold? Don't know. Cool though.

Looks a lot like the Lanxiang model with twin 70mm fans. Wonder if the video is of a stock RTF version?

Saba is a great pilot.

I am just finishing up the LX Mig 29 twin 70mm fans and that jet is not the LX model. Very similar but not the same.

Ditchit ... my guess is FOAM. Its the in thing now and would be nice and light too. Also, no more botched launches huh? Hey what are you flying nowadays? I just got the LX A10, not sure when I will start to build her yet. Saw my friend's one fly and she is lovely.

Look to me like a foamie at banana hobby: www.bananahobby.com/1828.html

Only difference is the landing gear is mssing in the video, otherwise, it looks identical.

Doesn't make any difference if it is foam, composite or concrete. The hoverability of this plane has all to do with piloting skills than the model itself

And the three gyros that are on board.

I thought i had a smoker on my Airfield f-15..... Turns out i just fried the motor. LOL[&:]

Naw, he doesn't need gyros. The nozzles are obviously thrust vectored. it's a nice delta planform so it doesnt' wing rock in a harrier so the transition isn't difficult. Not much harder than any decent 3D plane with maybe less control authority I would guess except did you notice he didn't spend more than a half second in a true TR DOD cause the plane wound up pretty fast and it got away from him.

I'd give it a shot if it were my plane. But I'd also fly it fast like a jet too

See here. It does include a gyro.

I might have to check it out. I've been teased by Hobby Lobby's non-existent Mig29 for years (click the ad, page goes nowhere) and this one looks pretty fun. Don't see how Sebarts plane is really different from the Banana Hobby one.

Also where did you find that price list? I don't see a page on his site for this small EDF.

You don't need gyros on a small foamy to do what Sebastiano is doing, not to diminish his world class skills any, but most 3D jocks could duplicate that video with the right power setup and control authority IMO.

Gyros will help keep the plane vertical if you have anemic thrust and the plane starts to slide sideways when you go to "bail", but I can't see needing them on something that small (investment wise). It's a different story on his bigger offering:

Note at the end of the video the pullout is very lackluster and he goes horizontal pretty quick. That's when you might want a gyro to keep your angles in check.

Thunder power is suppose to have them in stock in a couple of weeks.

They sell planes now? Their site only has 3D "insane" foamies on it.

They are the US distributors of the Sebart line.

Does the one being sold by banana have hovering capability?
I have Sebart one and it can really do 3D and hovering effortlessly.
