Both sides, as scale. I'll do more pixs when I'm back in the office, still unpacking everything and need to finish another project before I'll start it.

Hi Dave,

Its impressive the amount of pre febrication that they are achieving.

Dave Wilshere

Geoff

Yep, even you could build this one inside...6 months?

Dave

Dick

Geoff

Yes, and Dick would apprehiate that!

More bits unpacked, Ailerons, Flaps, tail and fuselage as it comes.

Wow.
Dual control horns, carbon gear flex plates, large wing tube, high component integration.
This plane is setting up new standards. Well done Andreas.

Dave !

Really really nice, something special with CARF kits :-)

I have one more shoot in my thin wallet - cant figure out which next CARF model - only thing I know for sure is that it can´t be some other brand now

Builing thread Dave - yesterday ofcourse

Nice looking plane [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Come to Kehl and fly it on the trainer scheme You know you need to add to the list...
Build thread not till next week, I must finish the workshop hanger first, too many nearly finished models...I attack Ian Richardson style for the next week...
I'm also waiting on the P160 and Robart rams needed. Note the wood radio plate has holes pre drilled for Jet Tronic valves, JetCat valves, ECU and Fuel pump position...nice.

Geoff/Dick you guys might get a preview late March ;-)

Is the nose light included in the kit ?

Dave Wilshere

No, just the lens. I'm going to look out suitable units

Dave,
Will you be flying it at Florida jets?
Are you going this year?
Any idea of finished weight? Under 20 kg easy, or a struggle?

Dave Wilshere

Alasdair

Not going this year, but Andreas is with his Tutor.
Yes, easily under 20kg even with smoke set up.

Dave

Thanks for the informative pics. Looks very temting!
Was a bit surprised to see that the canopy was not cut out and the glass not installed, or is it just not cut out on this pre-production model??

Dave Wilshere

Normal CARF practise because of the amount that could be broken in transit...but it is something being talked about!
Quick and easy job.

Dave

SAP_2000

Not sure if you vere talking about the gear doors, but I meant the acsess hatches on the top side in the nose. Are they on both sides?

Dave Wilshere

Sorry, only cut one side, but you could brace and cut if you wished.

Dave

Only managed to do a little more looking today, looks like servos will be 8411 elevators (too thin for 8711) everything else will take 8711, so I'll probably go that way on everything except nose steering where I'll use my favourite JR 579.
Rudder is designed for closed loop using pushrods.
Drop ins today who had a look were all impressed...

Dave Wilshere

P160's back in stock today ready for the Tutor, also the smoke tube kit...my first model with messy smoke fluid[]

But not the last!

I hope you've got plenty of those smoke kits in ;-)

Nice............Shame it's not a JP though

lovely looking kit, hope to get my hands on one this year. Ahhhhh JR 579's it pains me to put those Hitec 6 things people use in on my builds[&o]

CJ2006

As long as you don't mess about with dye you'll be OK Dave, Everything - and I do mean everything - on the inside of my old Foxjet was blue...guess why?!!

Cheers,

Dick

Dave Wilshere

Dick
No chance of dye, I'm kicking and screaming into the smoke game as it is. If it wasn't for the fact the Tutor has a smoke tank option it wouldn't be happening.

Stevie...guess so

My Feedback: (39)

I see Carf has some infor and pricing on thier web page:

http://www.carf-models.com/public_ca...ant&proId=2295

About 2500 USD.

Not clear though if the price includes gear. Probably not...
