The first of these kits is in transit (3D ad F3A versions) and we are expecting the first of these kits into stock in the UK on Thursday this week.

We're not primarily a shop for airframes, the original concept was to bring this superb plane in as a demonstrator for our battery capability and the factory has agreed to supply us because of this association - the result is that this much sort after kit is available in the UK at half sensible prices for the first time ever.

The .160 comment came from the pilot who knows more than I. It definitely pulls like a train on the FlightPower 10s4p LiPos and the Hacker C50-13l Acro swinging an APCe 20x11 - the full flight time on this setup is 31 minutes.

We will soon have packs at approx half the price and weight that will pull this bird around the sky with even more power to weight, approximate flight time closer to 22 minutes with the new packs.

Empress.. Majestic-Esque - but we think the top hatch is a neccessary feature advantage over the original for easy battery arming and disarming - we also like the plug-in wings for transport and the abilty to swap between 3D and F3A configurations on a single model.
