Status: offline 		I just bought one of these yesterday. I have never seen it before, It looks similar to the polecat
that Nitromodels is selling but it is definately different. I'll let you know how the quality is once I receive it.

Status: offline 		I'm working on one now with electric power, outrunner and two 2200ma packs. I think it will be a lot better as electric than IC (kinda light for IC I think). I don't like the wing mounting setup at all (I'm afraid a hard pylon style turn could pull the wing mounts out) All in all it's ok for a sport flyer but I think it's built lite for racing or very much speed. I post after I've got a flight or two on it.

I have no idea who makes the airplane. but the quality is very good, for a 100 dollar airframe.

S10,
Let us know how she fly's.

Status: offline 		Jeff, Where did you get your Swift 40 from? Trying to see if i can get parts when needed. Can get on for about $140.00, but for $20.00 more can get a Sundowner 36. Just don't know............

Thanks, Glen

Status: offline 		Morning all,

Well I did get the "Swift" in last night. I was hoping to get a load of information. Well the plane showed up in a brown shipping box, I opened it up and the plane's box is white. The whole thing! Nada, Nothing written on it! So I said, "There will be information on the instructions in the box." Nope! Just pictures on how to put it together. Dang!  What now?

I love the plane and I am happy with it. I just wanted to get Information on this plane. Where to get spare parts.

Glen

In that case put a JETT .50 on it and then you won't have to worry about spare parts!

It would be best to contact the seller and see what kind of support is offered.

Tower and Horizon have a good support for their planes.*

* well once I needed a wing for the Uproar ARF, that was damaged in shipping... They only had new arf kits $99.95 at the time

That is just it, there is no information on this plane. No manufacture, no info. on the distruction paperwork, Nothing on the box. Nothing, nothing, nothing. I got this plane on ebay, the man I got this from didnt have any info. either. I loved the look of it, so i got it. Maybe that was bad for me.

take a look at nitroplanes.com or richmodels they may have a clone of it & possibly the distruction manual

with a LHS you get to open the box and see its contents

Status: offline 		Well, I just started on the Swift.

The first one is in the box. The second on is laid out on the truck. The third is ailerons glued in. (I even drilled 2 small, small holes on each side of the henge to get plenty CA in.)

What is the best thing to use a pin on each side of the henge?

Thanks, Glen

 Will do tomorrow! Thanks for all the help. Now I have to figure out what power plant to use. While I am putting this bird together. I do still have the Jett SS40, but I don't have a bladder tank. I'll look and see what size I need.
Thanks, Glen
