RE: Fliton Inspire 60 Acro
Hey Man,
Send me the model. This is absolutely the best flying model I have ever flown. I can't believe the problems people seem to dream up. Mine went together perfect. Total all up weight at 5.25 lbs, JR9411 servos, Saito 82, 4cell pack. 4 nights assembly and NO Problems!
The first flight I found it was way different than any normal flying model. If you have ever flown an E-Flite Tensor you know what I mean. If you have any coupling with the rudder you have something messed up. It flys on its side like it was on its wing, knife edge everything, harrier, loops, inside or outside. I was performing knife edge with my right hand off the tx! Rudder inputt only!
I can imagine that a lot of people can't fly a model that performs like this. But if you are an accomplished aerobatic pilot you are going to go wild! It makes manuevers so easy it is crazy. If you can't look like an expert with this airplane you better go back to boats!
The Saito 82 is perfect power. This is maybe a 60 sized airplane at 730 square inches but it is a 46 glow size at 5.5 lbs! The YS 63 would be perfect. I put the tank where designed and used the Cline pump and regulator and man what a combination that is, it really works.
This airplane performs like it has SFG's on it but they aren't there! I guess if a person doesn't like the colors that is their problem, in the sunlight the metalics just glow in the air, it is about as photogenic as they get.
Send me that airplane I need a second one. Fliton designs airplanes the way scratch model builders would love to build. If you are a hacker and a basher then they are going to be to light for you.
I only wish I could design models this cool. If you don't believe it knife edges (what a joke that guy is) then look at the video on HorizonHobby.com search for Fliton then Inspire and pick the video off the page. The whole thing is in knife edge!
