I take it you're not a fan Bjr_ LOL
I'm an old school balsa guy, I look at todays "bloated goldfish" airframe and marvel on how can this be possible? The scale, the shapes, the aerodynamics. It's FANTASTIC!
The electric motors, so much power, no vibration, the beautifully engineered carbon fibre reduction drives, then the awesome counter prop systems... my god, they're stunningly beautiful. Then there's the flying styles, the complexity of the manurers, the slow elegance… Mind blowing.
F3P? I'm absolutely speechless. That sport, has done more to improve aerobatics, design thinking and flying skills than anything previously.
It wasn't that long ago when we'd watch the worlds top pattern guys at the Tournament of Champions, with a massive plane, 250cc gass engine belching smoke, props going supersonic, crowd going mental watching the plane... in a hover!
Hilarious.
I understand it isn’t everyones cup of tea but I think its truly wonderful where F3A is going and it's sad that one of the most innovative brands isn't going along and innovating with it.
Mind you... who knows what they have planned. Wink.
