RE: 3D Biplane (Video)
i don't think it looks all that bad except for the nose which looks a little too long for my liking, but i think i could over come that, the problem i see is that the plane is made of foam with some wood here and there. I'm wondering how you repair the foam if parts of the plane disintegrate in a crash....at $300 that's alot of money for some foam.
great job flying Kyle...i think from now on all of your vids you should have landings like this last one and in the "Kyle droppin' in" vid...i'd love to be able to land my planes like that
here's the spec's of the plane
The specifications of our new TOO COOL 3D ARF biplane are.
Wingspan - 56.5"
Wing Area - 1230 Sq. Inches
Wing Loading - 15.5 oz sq. inch
Fuse length - 67"
Weight - 8.25 Lbs.
Recommended Engine - Saito-100 (91-120 four stroke)
Radio - 4 channel w-6 servos
Price - around $300.
The ARF plane is made entirely of pink foam with strategically placed wood for strength. Then painted with a special water base paint(No covering to iron). Quality hardware will be used throughout. We are using the Saito 100 single to power our bipes. The goal is to keep the weight down and still have good power for all the 3-D maneuvers. To most people the plane seems HUGE, but this combo must be seen to believe.
Coming soon will be a smaller version of our great flying bipe. We are using the powerful Saito 82 in our test model. This size reduction will allow the plane to fit in most SUV's and be left assembled for that moments notice type of flier. We want the plane to be as stable and aerobatic as it's bigger brother, but also be small enough so you don't miss that perfect day.
