Cloud Dancer ARF
 

Has anyone tried one of the new ACE Cloud Dancer ARF'S?

I have seen the model and was very disappointed to see all the plastic IE: cowl and wheel pants.
Other models in the same price range now come with fiberglass cowl and wheel pants.
I think it is time for TTR to pay attention to what the competition is doing.

I had the 40 sized kit, not art, and with a ST51 is was a 100mph + airplane. Handled really nice. It also had a plastic cowl and pants, but we don't use pants on our grass field.

Cloud Dancer.. Got MINE!!!
 

Hi!! I've just got my Cloud Dancer it's nice, looks good and it's L I G H T (as in feather) very light construction I'm afraid with the Irvine .53 I intend to put on it it's gonna be real FAST!!! :D
Overall quality looks very good (I will have to learn to work with ultracote :(
I didn't like the plastic cowling either seems flimsy.. ther rest of the hardware looks good... we fly of a grass field, so I'll assemble ot ready for the retracts, but fornow I'm going to fly with fixed landing gear....
Will keep you posted

I won one in a raffle! Didn't like the cowl either. Plastic so thin you can almost see thru it! Looks like it will disintegrate at 10 MPH! Everything else looks good to me. Great covering job. I suspect that one or two of the fiberglass companies will come up with a replacement cowl soon (if not already). Planning on putting an OS 50 on it.

So do both the .60 and .40 size have a plastic cowl. Hoping the .60 has fiberglass. Otherwise I may consider a WM Intruder. Anybody know of another 60 sized ARF pattern like plane in this price range?

Still waiting for an answer!

Sorry Sport,

I have no answer, but you might want to start a new thread, so everyone can see your question. I'm sure you will be happy with the results.

A friend just tried the cloud dancer 40 this weekend. Flies pretty good, light, responsive, but the wing is vulnerable to tip stalls like the extra and cap. :eek: Beginners beware.


5 flights and the cowl is holding up so far.

He is using an old GMS 47 and a 11x6 zinger (?). Kinda looked like it was near unlimited vertical with it. That 53 should be perfect.

( A plane that doubles as a helicopter and a rocket = perfect )

I just picked up my Cloud Dancer 60 and yes it does have ABS cowl, pants, servo hatches, and retract wheel wells :disappoin also didn't care for the all white plain wing and stab bottoms but this gives me some artistic license to dress up the bottoms ;)
Otherwise it seems to be built well and very light.
