UGG, another hideous sport jet! At least it's not in the currently favoured planform of big ballooned whale with a blacked out canopy.

If CARF Models brought out a 100N sized Spark it'd be a huge winner. Somehow most of their sport jets seem to miss the mark on looks for me (YMMV)

I picked up two kits today, as usual it looks great. Lots of positive talk about it and it flies better than the mini Wizzard

That's some statement made here....

Wonder on what fact's these are based?

Having a good look at both bird's, the QC off the Joker does not even come close to that of the mini Wizzard...
Wonder how long the cheap China JP gears last on grass runway, They did not very long on both my Avanti's unfortunately ..

Unfortunately the Wizzard did not fly at JetPower, so nothing to compare IMO

The Joker flew great tough, just the same as the old inspiration did

Come on Carf put something really new on the market in the Smaller size range.

I have flown both, I say it with experience.
Quality...mmm I'm not getting into mud slinging, but the flaps on the joker won't jam when you do the wings up...

I grabbed a few shots of a disasembled Joker at JetPower over the weekend.

Some Joker flying pics from the CARF demo flight....

Not the easiest model to photograph as it was very fast in the air. My pics are mostly all from the same angle, sorry about that but there was a lot of traffic on the demo slot and chances to get creative were a bit limited.

No need for inlets? Looks great in the air.
