I have an Enya 32CXL with rear exhaust and I am looking for a pattern type kit, preferably an ARF, designed for rear exhaust with pipe mounted on the bottom of the fuselage.

Any suggestions for a beginner?

A 25 sized ARF pattern model is going to be hard to find. As a matter of fact I don't think I know of one, let alone one with a pipe tunnel. Sorry

You may have to start from plans.

Hello Martin,

I am not sure that you will find a current pattern ARF for the engine you have; however, if you are willing to build I believe that there are a couple of options available. If my memory serves me correctly, Dick Sarpoulus designed the Hammer, which is a sport/pattern plane. It is available in two sizes, a .40 and .20. Unfortunately, it is only in plan form through Flying Models Magazine. I think that a couple of the Joe Bridi design are also available in plan form.

Now, if you want to be creative, I would suggest buying the kit for the SIG Kobra and making a few changes to it. First, you could add your own design for the turtle deck, giving the plane a more current look. Secondly, I would modify the tail and rudder so that the rudder extends to the bottom of the fuselage. This would also allow you to split the elevator. If it were up to me, I kit bash the Kobra and have some fun with it. At the very least it would be a plane you can truly call your own.

Good luck,

Teo

Might want to consider converting one of these three electric ARF's to glow by just beefing up the front end:

Extreme Fligth Vanquish

Sebart Angel S 30

3DHobbyshop Aspera

The OK/Pilot models Mystic 30. Out of production, but you could scratch build one from plans.

Flywilly, do you have plans?

Can I get a set?
