Default PCM AV8R Almost Done!!

Hello Everyone,
Here is another new AV8R being built by U Fly Hobbies In New Jersey.
This is one spectacular turbine trainer. This plane has no problems on grass fields and flys like a 1.20 size sport plane. You cant go wrong with this Jet.

I will upload more pics as this one nears completion. It will be covered with a military scheme.

If you have any questions about this aircraft please dont hesitate to write.

Thanks
Bill

Gary, I really like the turtle deck treatment you gave the plane! I always loved the "Blues"

It is a small tea strainer from the dollar store with an O ring to hold it on. This one came with the engine.

I currently have 30 flights on my AV8R with a SWB Mamba And About ten with a Ram 500
As far as performance goes I get better virtical with the Mamba Probably due to the fact that it's
lighter. And longer flights aswell due to the improved fuel consumption.
All in all This plane is a great trainer and also Take offs and landings in the grass are a brease
Enjoy
