Default RE: Altecare Infinity

The factory is closed, they were working on an improved version (Infinity Phase 2) but I believe it never got to the market...the "regular" one (based on the Enigma as far as I know, save for the two piece wing) tends to the heavy side. Mine weighed 5270 grms completely stock, OS 140 RX, OS header and pipe, Hide mount, two S9650 in the tail, two S9150 for ailerons, one S9451, one hitec HS81 for throttle, futaba standard 1500 Mah pack and 148 DP receiver. Paint was chipping heavily, all the left side from mid canopy to the LG was gone in two weeks of flying, about half as much on the right side. I tried to keep the paint with thin CyA to no avail, paint cracks and falls in pieces as big as 1"x3".

The top hinging and awkward angle of the ailerons and elevators relative to the fuselage/flight line gave it "interesting" flight characteristics.

I didn“t even dare to sell it when I left Argentina some 16 months ago, but gave it away...
