Hey guys, here is the information I have on hand here at work.


Wing Span: 68"
Flying weight with O.S.95 AX ~7 1/4 lb.
Flying weight with DLE20 ~8 1/4 lb.
Laser cut kit sells for $150.00, plus actual shipping costs (no handling fees)
Manufactured in Bloomington, IL.
Optional landing gear from T6 aluminum, add $10.00

I know that on his gas model he is running two A123 batteries (1 ignition, 1 Receiver). A person could cut some weight by going with a TechAero Ibec and losing the ignition battery.

He likes both versions, and says that he can feel the extra weight on the gas version, but it still flys nicely. He did say it lands slightly faster than the lighter glow version.

Also, he had to have a muffler extension built to get the muffler out past the side of the plane. He doesn't sell them as the guy who built his has quit machining.

I have a DLE20 RA that I am going to install in one of these and should delete the need for the side exhaust extension, but that model hasn't been built yet.


I am going to go to Don's place tonight (he is the guy who sells these) and try to get him posting on here. He buys and sells a lot in the market but hasn't ever posted that I know of.
