Default Element 170 . . Focus II ??? . . OR . . ???

Just noticed this coming SOON from Sebart . . designed by Sebastiano Silvestri . . the WIND S PRO 2M.

VERY nice . . and based on experience from his other designs, it will be an AWESOME performer.

I am thinking it will be a built up wood/covered plane . . BUT may be glass fuse and foam/covered wings and stab. Don't know ! Can't find any more info yet . . STAY TUNED ! !

Cheers, JB

That's the 110-size which is already available. The 2meter is shown as coming soon on sebart.it under models/f3a

I suggest that you go with the Focus II if this is your first pattern plane. You will find a lot of information to set up this plane since has been in the market for many years. I know it is difficult to make a decision. Just a recomendation.

Good luck,

Vicente "Vince" Bortone

Vince,

I think Jeff just used that as a headline grabber. Looks like a neat plane. You are right though, the Focus II is hard to beat for a first 2m plane, especially if you are in the market for an ARF.

You're right . . I have the Angel 50, and I mentioned in the Angel 50 thread that one of our local pilots flies a 50 competitively in F3A (P09 only) . . Don't be mistaken . . he is a GREAT pilot !

I am a big fan of Silvestri's designs . . all his planes seem to fly amazingly well.

Cheers, JB

PS. Correct Arch. It was only a Headline Grabber . Hopefully someone will do a build thread, and they can have "naming rights" I'm looking forward as to how this one unfolds.

I just picked up the Element 170 but this one looks so tempting. Better for me to just practise on my Angel first before being so ambitious, bad to covet too right? So far I have yet to get moving on the Element 170 but it looks like a very simple build. Plane is well manufactured too.

Gregg ... I am still fickle about it, I got a NIB YS160 and I also just got 6 new 5S 4,900 Rhino packs and will be buying more. Chances are it will be GP, much easier to get stick time. Maybe once I can fly well I will get an EP 2x2 ... this Sebart Wind S Pro will be a great candidate!
