Today at Weston Park (UK) CARF will unveil its new project.

Its around 4.5m wing span. The prototype is powered by two JetCat P-100RX tubines, but CARF say its over powered and 2 x P-60 would be more suitable.
Won't be released until later in the year, its bound to be a wow at JetPower 2016!

More info soon

Looks awesome! I wonder how it will handle a bit of show flying. Will it be self stable, or you you need to keep it in the envelope at all times? Airliner or sports jet? hm....

Why did they jump over the B1?

Dave Wilshere

From what Andreas has said it will handle show flying just fine.
iGyro has made lots of things possible

WOW !! I have always wanted a huge B2! Looks fantastic!

Andy Aldridge

I was praying that he would bring back the F86. Great sadness.

I hope this is no late april fools joke. Awesome!!!

That is disappointing. I was hoping that this new model would be something within reach of the 'normal' modeller; maybe something for P60 or even P20. Alas this will be another new model that most won't be able (or willing) to afford.

COOL! I have always wanted a LARGE Stealth fighter but the B2 is cool to

Dave Wilshere

There is no way CARF would ever produce a P-20 to P-60 airframe! The cost of moulding is the almost the same except some material, so since people live in some 'hobbyking' price bubble, they would not pay the required price.
CARF is run by modelling people, who would love to produce everyman airframes, but its a business and impossible to manufacture the low end stuff with their manufacturing process.
I expect this B2 to be big numbers as it will be sold in small numbers only.

I think it great! I have always wanted one, While I have a few jets, the thought of having one jet with 2 motors will always be out of my $ range. It would be different if there was a big price difference between smaller turbines and mid size, but when there is only a $250 difference between a K60 to K100. I we could get a single in there ....

This is really cool, finally something a little different. Tired of all the cookie cutter stuff. I go to the flying field and there are 200 Hawks flying. lol

Tuggs

This is definitely a must have. Speaking about big numbers. Any news about the CARF F-100? Its been too silent for too long....

Dave Wilshere

The Elite guys have been doing the testing, I always expect a year, so this JetPower.
The first SU-27's have been going out for a while.

Normal??? p60, p20??

Anyways, Congrats to comparf, they build fantastic jets, I am sure this one will be as well, Cant wait to see one fly,,

siclick33

Yes. More people would be able to afford a model in those sizes than will be able to afford this one (assuming that it is priced similarly to their other big models such as the SU27).

Don't get me wrong, it looks very impressive and I'm sure it takes a lot of engineering and skill to design, build and get it to fly nicely. I was just hoping that they might come out with something that would fit my budget, available storage space and flying field.

We been doing all the prototype flying and testing making all the adjustments to airframe and landing gear. cameras all over the fuse and testing the flying envelope. I cant say enough about what an awesome flyer is. it flys like a sport jet. unreal slow flight and slow landings and the stall was just a harrier down, no wing over. the flying characteristics are phenomenal.
#2 is about ready and production is about to be in full swing.
