RE: Fliton Element 170
Thanks Arch, I was curious who the mystery pilot was and if the plane made its big debut. I'm always ready for a new pattern plane siting and report.

What ever happened to this plane ?? I am on the "list" but it seems to have fallen off the map.

I believe Derek Koopowitz, Nsrca President, learned at the IMS show that it will be out soon.. Look for details in an upcoming Kfactor.. At least, that's what he put in his Feb Kfactor article..

RE: Fliton Element 170
The Element 170 will hopefully be available by mid-year. It is undergoing some additional refinements to make it even a better flying plane. Unfortunately the original one that came here last year crashed due to radio interference at a field down in the LA area - someone turned their radio on accidentally - so flight reports on the plane are unavailable - thus delaying the completion of the production run.

RE: Fliton Element 170
I was at a contest with a guy affiliated with them this weekend.. He said August is when they get here. Then they are hand painted here..
There is also the wood 170 version that will be here sooner I believe.. $600 I was told..
We'll see though..

RE: Fliton Element 170
I agree. Looking forward to both actually though..
On another note, I own a Mini Inspire and really like it.. I won a Inspire 90 this weekend at the contest raffle.. I opened it last night.. They quality is like no other wood arf I have seen. Covering is very, very nice. No wrinkles.. I put the stab and wings on.. They are straight with each other.. I'm very impressed.. And most of you know how picky I am.. lol
If the Element wood arf is as nice and light as this Inspire for $600, I will get a few..
Still, I'll wait patiently for a great Fliton quality finish on these...

A wood (and covered?) version for $600 . . could be the BEST entry level 2M plane ever produced ???
They will sell a load . .

RE: Fliton Element 170
Sounds like a scam to me.
Joined in 2004 but only two posts.
Contact number doesn't match Fliton USA in California.
Fliton's 800 number is out of service.
Unbelieveably low price.
Only 30 to the USA? Why?
I hope I'm wrong but buyer beware!
Happy to see that I was wrong. Sorry.

RE: Fliton Element 170
I know Alex.. I won a kit from him down at a contest a few weeks back.. He fly's with us in D7 and is with Fliton..
It's real.. I got the pics a few days ago from him.. Not sure if the July Kfactor is out, but I have a pic of what I won, plus others that Alex sent me.. He's real and had a huge banner there for the wood Element 170.. Plus he told me I could order the Composite version..
