The first shipment of kits from CA Model have arrived. Will post more in depth info later - just wanted to show a pic of the fuse and some of the kit contents. The quality of the new CA Model kits is really good.

Hi ual767

Have you some pics of wings and stab ?
Thank

Right wing panel top and bottom. Weight is 7oz (198g)

Stab half. Weight is 1.3oz (36.8g)
Rudder (not pictured) .7oz (19.8g)

Onas fuselage assembly (fuse, canopy, chin cowl weight is 27.5oz (780g). Construction is fiberglass and balsa vacuum bag sandwich. Fuselage surface is very smooth and almost ready to paint. There are molded marks for the wing and stab tubes, incidence references, and servo lead locations to match the holes in the cores.

The kit looks very nice!

The fuselages are awesome, I just saw Tuny's and the quality is something completely different to what we are used to, one interesting thing I noticed, is due to the vacuum bagging, there's no excess resin anywhere in the fuselage, very good and light, still way more rigid overall specially on the vertical fin.

Regards

Great looking airplane Chris. I just love the lines of the swept wing. Have they released the new Bipe yet?

Yes, it has, I'm still finishing the ARF.

Hey if you guys know anything about a new bipe, then you are better connected than I am. I will see what I can find out.

is not that "NEW", the Xurama, it came a few months ago...

Wow, looks great

Yeah Tuny is right, its a few months old, but still relatively new. Apereira, is yours glow or electric?

Sorry Chris, I didnt mean to pull this thread off subject.

the Xurama is electric only.....

maybe later will be in production one to be used with real engines...

No biggie, I see Chip's announcement for a new monoplane in another thread....gonna need more storage room for all these new planes

will you cover the fuselage or paint it? what scheme.

Yes Chris, electric only at the moment as Tuny said, and don't think it will change as they will need to make a new mold for it, it has the upper hatch for motor a batteries.
One thing I loved is there are no servo wires hanging anywhere, and there is no adjustments to do on the wings, it uses a piano wire on the wing struts.

Regards

If someone can cover a composite fuse and get it to look good, I would love to see it.
