New jet ARF vendor?
TopRCModel
I first heard of them from Mike at F3AUnlimited when they introduced their 2m Caelus composite pattern plane for $999 (amazing price for a composite 2m, compared to Oxai and BJCraft) The quality of construction and flying were very good, the only negative was that they were just a bit heavy and need attention to hit 5Kg flight weight max. They now have a Cougar for $995 http://www.f3aunlimited.com/f9f-cougar-b Specifications Length: 1803mm/71in Wing Span: 1562mm/61.5in Ducted Fan: 120mm Turbine: 6kg turbine Radio: Min. 7 Servos required Descriptions 1. Full composite construction. 2. All surface prepainted,decals applied and clear coated 3. Scale cockpit included. 4. Detachable main wing and tailplane & vertical fin for easy transportation; 5. Removable hatch on fuselage for easy access into the plane and change accessories; 6. Functional flaps for smooth landing. 7. High quality CNC Alu push rod included 8. More than 95% assembled complete in factory. 9. Tail tube and fuel tank included. And also 2 sport jets, the Odyssey and Aspire...still trying to find details on those. |
It says not available !

Not sure if they will be shown at WRAM or not...trying to find out from Mike at F3A
I did find out there are 4 new jets..

I saw them at this past JP. They seemed okay from the quick look we had with them; and would probably be a decent model once complete, but only time will tell once they become available.

I also ran www.toprcmodel.com thru scanurl.net and it came back OK. I apologize if there is a problem. |
Are these TB Model EDF jets or are they totally new manufacturer?
|
Totally new ALL compisite
|
Not sure I trust a vendor that can't even get their own photos correct on the site. Backwards.
MODS: Speaking of which, you guys should mention to someone that the L-39 at the top of this page suffers from the same affliction :-0 (at least you're not trying to sell me an L-39 tho) |

I only stumbled across these new jets while looking at the new (lightweight) v2 Caelus 2m F3A plane |
I've flown one of the warbirds, it was a nice kit and flew extremely well.
The jets are coming in the next batch from what I understand and yes they will be at Toledo |
