Hi!

I am interested in Art-Tech airplanes. How is the quality of Art-Tech?

Your experiecnes and opinions about it will be appreciated! Thank you!

Is it a Hemi Coota?

That's a good one, but it is a cute little rascal. Maybe someone that has actually seen one will chime in.

It is also called a Hybrid Air by Parkflyers.
Here is the link: http://www.parkflyers.com/ProductDet...Show=TechSpecs
I have one but haven't flown it yet so can't comment.
If you do a Google search there is much discussion in some of the RC groups.
Good Luck,

For crashing EPP is better, but my first art-tech, a coota (aka hybrid-air) does fine. It has standard a few strenghted points, up front, in cockpit (halve circel 'wall' glued in) wooden walls, hard plastic and, plastic/carbon rods here and there.

I pardon for my grammar upfront, for i am Dutch (the Netherlands)
I have this one, it is china made and original name is 'coota', made by art-tech.
Today i flew my first time with it !
Somewhat to much wind, (four beaufort) but heeej Holland, a.k.a. the Netherlands, a no-wind, or little-wind day is very rare in the sea area where i live (Between Amsterdam and nort-sea) .
The big and heavy nose weight that is standard might even helped in this 'more wind then adviced by manual' flight. The 7.4 v, 1800 mah lipo i put as far back under its rubberband as possible inside the cockpit.

Since wind was comming from the north today and i was on a south side of a very big pond, take of was great fun ! Throtle, full throttle, somewaht rear-flap slowely up, and there she went, fast out of the water, allmost straight by itself, (speed/fast = relative to what one is used to, i know) and high, about 50 meters in no time.
Very well steerable / controleable, especialy for a first timer with this 4 channel 4 flaps sea plane. (I flew a stryker(flying wing, 2 flaps for everything) and unbee 'catamaran with wings (1.60 meters wide) flyer before) and a small and 40 cm vector steered silverlits x-wings :-) )

Ok, so flying went supprisingly well, but landing is/was the great challenge, brrrr, but -2- times went 'great' ! then, since i had been ehhhh 'boating the plane for trimming and material/motor use-in purposes' a lot, i stopped flying since the manual does not mention if there is an auto-cut-off built in, if there is a signal or not for battery allmost empty and such.
I had to do a wind-aft landing since i came in toward me, to high and fast, high trees to close behind me so i did not want to make a corner. Throttle allmost off, vertical/sloped dive, rear flaps, main wingflaps for keeping it horizontal, throttle, horizontal, less throttle, flapping for straight-keeping, touchdown, pfweeeew !
Second landing: side wind, but in a 'pocket' of allmost no wind behind an 'island' in the pond with very high , allmost bamboo, gras.

These where my shots of RC luck today, i did not wanted to try another one, so i stopped, i am very curious how much mah my charger will put into the lipo now.

Oh yes, the 2th flight was even more front heavy since after that some water came out of the cockpit, but some more from in-between the bottom and the plastic loose 'cup' under the plane that must not be very wel taped arround to the canopy/hull.
But all in all, nice, 'easy' steering, fast take off (with this wind anyways) , listens to controls, very fast in-air, stables very well, promissing!!
It is the 35 mhz (advertised as 2,4 ghz...) kit but it works and i payed 149 euro including transported package-post to my door, from within the Netherlands a few 'states' away.
