3.6m/124inches Fouga Magister from Wind RC

These photos were taking in September of 2023. The Fouga looks beautiful, and this plane had flew over than 20 flights.
This is a prototype production, so there is no cockpit, no air brakes, no scaled parts on the plane, don't even have any painting scheme on it.
For this Prototype, we have Twin Swiwin 120 installed and take off weight for this Fouga is 24kg with 2pcs 3000mah 7.4V Lipo and 2pcs 3500mah 11.1V Lipo for landing gear and brakes.
in 5L of fuel tank, we are able to fly 9-11minutes by 40%-70% thrust, so i think this plane is easy to fly.
This plane would be in the market with ARF without Cockpit and no servos; But PNP configuration with servos and landing gear pre-installed together with cockpit. So i think this is a good option for most of pilots.
I am personally flying this plane for 2 flights and found out the flap is not really needed during the take off or landing. And not required any assistance at all, i can fly this plane and i believe you can do it as well after have a good setting.
However, 124inches of wingspan, its also easy to find the CG from the fuselage and you can find the CG mark on the landing gear door , i have the top speed was 225kmph from our GPS recorded.

Lets see what Wind RC would do for this fouga in the close future, landing gear is not yet completed, so hope that we are able to have some update soon.

Hi Fred - I'm interested in ordering one, pricey for what it is, I also saw there is no option for a single turbine, which means right now the only option is 2 turbines. It's not super scale, from what I see does it have scale airbrakes the top of the wing?, so why was it decided to go the more expensive option that the buyer has no choice but to buy 2 turbines when really as you say the jet is so easy to fly that, when a slightly larger turbine is all that is required.

Hi, We do have single engine version for option in the future, but for now we are still trying to complete the twin turbines version with all the scaled details. Like the airbrakes you mention, now we already done the design and will have the samples showing on December. Also, we are trying to do some better details on the wing tips and cockpits. You won't regret to order one and you would be satisfy with the plane arrieved. Thank you
