Hi Marcelo
This is the Website:
www.paf-flugmodelle.de
You will need to translate the site, but it's pretty good, there are some other nice models on there as well

I hope this helps

Regards


John

Thanks John.
I already sent an e-mail to them.
Have you seen the Sting flying? Will the K 80 be a good choice for the new Sting EVO?
Regards

Hi Marcelo
K80 would be a good choice of turbine.
I saw it fly at Jet Power last year, and I must say it was pretty impressive!
Like I said before you will have to build it, but with a glass fuz and foam wings it's not that bad.



Regards

John

This is not the PAF Model Sting ...

It`s the Revenge, full composite,
207 cm long, 165 cm wingspan

It will be shown on JP the first time

the prototype was made by Jets Unlimited and
now you can buy it from AIR-C-RACE

@Lior
this is the display model for JP but the first
batch is on the way .... so you can pick it up
in the greek restaurant by Robert

ORIGINAL: i3dm

the discussion is a bit beyond what i intended.

the topic is a high speed aerobatic jet (such as the flash etc) with better cost - it might very well not exist, but its certainly no reaction or easyjet !

The problem is... composites bring the illusion of "Expense." So, couple that, to the fact that there is a large enough group who can justify that a Chinese made model is worth +$2k... and there will never be such a thing as a "high speed aerobatic jet (such as the flash etc) with better cost."

Until people stop buying that the high prices... they will never come into a realistic range.

I like my turbines... but I have a hard time justifying some of the air-frame prices. (so, I buy used)

I spoke to them at last years Jet Power!

I am going this year, if you would like any info I would be happy to ask!

I'm thinking the same, it's a nice airframe for the money!


Regards


John.

Looks promising.
