Default The airsail Tomahawk

Definitely a builder's model. Mine got the full treatment of real panel lines, rivets, nav landing and strobe lights etc, 4 servos in the wings. Came to 8.5lbs but the TT54 still hauls with authority, flies around on less than half power. Rx nicad in engine bay plus lead, but Airsail does say in the manual that it needs it. Yes it does need every last drop of elevator to flare, I find it better to land on 1/2 flap rather than full flap as full flap needs a bit more ele to raise the nose when slow, also make a low shallow approach with power on rather than the usual modellers dive at the runway. It could be ok as a second model depending upon how competent you have become. Take off and flying around are easy, it needs a bit more attention on landing though it is not difficult.

Sorry about the poor quality of the attached piccie, but you'll get the idea how accurate this excellent Airsail model is.
