Flyby

Is Jamara an unknown brandname in the States??

Flyby :confused:

It's a German company that I think just started selling there planes in the US. Their website is www.jamara.de. I just bought ther F4U Corsair and it looks pretty good although the instructions came in German with an English pamphlet attached. Everything is in metric.

I have just finished the Jamara Cap 230 and although it went together very well indeed the cowl leaves a lot to be desired being glassfibre it doesn`t have enough resin to fill the weave completely and is mishapen to a degree but from a distance it is ok, I have powered mine with a SuperTigre G20/23 which I had in a Sukhoi before retiring it and have fitted a smoke system as well the all up weight is around 11.5 lbs which gives a wing loading around 34 ozs/sq.in if my calculations are correct. Test flying will take place as soon as the weather settles down a bit and I will post again then with the results.
