Looks like everyone is hyped up about the new Fliton Element 170, I am just ordered mine and I am keeping my fingers crossed for a quick delivery. Fliton Korea has been great in its promt reply on my order. I still find that Fliton planes are one of the best there are in the market. Mine will be powered with my YS160, a new one that was waiting to for the right plane to go into.

I am new to 2x2 planes so what sort of servos would you all advise me to use for this plane? I got a couple of Sanwa VRs and 5645s lying about.

Is wooden version available anywhere in Europe? I bet that the price is not 600 dollars. More like 944.04 USD which is 600 EUR

The Fliton costs $600 - shipping to Europe will probably cost $400 - $500 from the US. Still a bargain if you ask me, however I'm not sure that they will ship outside of the US.

For those in the US - you can buy the Element 170 ARF (wood version) for $600 plus $100 shipping (estimated cost). If you order and pay for the Element 170 online before July 31st, 2008 you will get a discount of $30 on shipping. You will need to add the coupon id of DK170 to the order form. The plane is due to arrive in late August with shipping to occur in early September. There are only 30 planes in this shipment so get your orders in soon!

I'm sure that they can't keep the price at $600 so I'm assuming they will go up in the next shipment. I've already put my order in.

I'm attaching their flyer that they sent me letting me know about the Element.

Eh maybe they ship directly from China to European dealer. No need for a extra trip to USA and then to Europe. 30-sized Elements are in stock at many vendors.

Hello Derek K,

Question,.........will the beam mount be suffcient for the YS170 with a Dave Brown type isolation rail mount attached or would you think the rails would need to partially removed for a Hyde type mount? I just wanted your opinion on the mounting system before I order one.

Thanks,

Bill,

If I remember correctly, it's already setup for a ys beam type mount.

That's what it looks like to me as well,..........I have no experience with those mounts when used with a YS170. I have been running OS-160's for the past 3 years. I am simply looking for some input, personal opinion and suggestions for the mounting of the engine in the Element 170. I would like to try Troy Newmans "shock" mount system to negate the kick the engine produces ,..don't know if that would be possible?

Thanks,

The beams are set up for a YS mount but if one wanted to use a Hyde mount I think the only way would be to cut the beams out.
