I purchased this plane at Perry for $50.00. Its a brand new ARF. The buy had no idea what it is or where it came from. He thinks Hong Kong, but not sure. There are no instructions at all. Just this plane in a box still wrapped up in bubble wrap. I figured for $50.00 I cant go wrong. Anyways the dimentions are as follows. WS 65" fuse 63". The odd thing is the wire landing gear, it mounts to the wings. I think I could get it together but not sure of the engine size or the CG. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Alan

looks like maybe a 90 size to 120 FS, CG you can figure 30 to 35% of the root cord

Nice!

Is the radio included ?

90 to 120 size do you think a 75 would be to small? Is this going to be a fast plane? aslo what is FS?
Thanks Alan

I'll give you $55 for it.

Nice looking plane. I think FS is short for "four stroke".

I might add that a 75 may be enough if your intention is to fly sportsman...I guess it would also depend on the final weight, ready to fly....

good luck.

Weigh it then decide what engine.

no idea what it is but I agree that it appears to be pretty good. Looking at the cowling arrangement and the structure in front of the wing, it would be easy enough to ditch the wing mounted u/c and use the more modern style of u/c fixed to the fuz.

However, the torque-rod, wing mounted u/c may be more forgiving for you, especially if you are just beginning.

I'll give ya $75.00 for it, I think they come out around 7 pounds without fuel.

This is sort of off the subject, however.. When I was looking at various models for an entry level Sportsman Pattern class, to upgrade my Venus 40, I looked at several. I found one advertized here on RCU that was $200. I ordered it. As it turns out, it is a Cyclone 90. Very nice plane. It has a carbon fibre tube that mounts in the fuselage that the wing halfs slide onto, servo slots are pre-set with lots of already completed build steps. Nice model, only one problem.. it came without any manual at all so I have to build it using my common sense. So, I bought an Excelleron 90 and built that just to gain some experience with that size plane. That came out great so I am going to tackle the Cyclone soon.
