  • A-29 Super Tucano

    The A-29 / Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano is a modern Turbo prop light attack aircraft used by several countries including the U.S. Air force and soon to be used in Afganistan. It is ideal for close air support, aerial reconnaissance missions in low threat environments. It has also become a great trainer aircraft to prepare pilots to move up jets. The Super Tucano is highly maneuverable with a Stall speed of 148 km/h (80 knots, 92 mph).
    There are currently no electric foam RC models of the A-29 on the market so this could be a popular model if it existed in the 1100-1400mm size range. It would make for a nice easy to fly RC trainer that could also be very fun to fly in the the hands of a good pilot. It would look way sharper than other comparable aircraft like the T-28.

    If would be especially cool to see the model include that neat looking multi-bladed prop!

      It would be cool if who ever made one could also include the scale 5 bladed propeller and be available in both the grey and green camo paint jobs with the shark teeth.

        I recently found one company that was making an RC model of the Super Tucano however it seems to have been discontinued and it was constructed from light ply and balsa. Originally designed for glow engines but it could be converted to electric just like in the featured video below.
        A true all electric EPO foam model would be a more popular model.

          From what Ive gathered the The A-29 / Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano is fast becoming the new top fighter pilot trainer aircraft around the world that can also be used for light attack or reconnaissance missions for counties on a budget. If its that good to be the next gen goto aircraft trainer for several mailitaries Im sure an RC trainer model would become a very popular option. It could potentially make for a great trainer with easy to fly characteristics for the novice RC pilot and a great sports plane with very agile characteristics that the pilot can grow into with more experience.

            This is one that I've been drooling over for quite some time as well. In addition to the ones discussed at the top of this thread, there's also the Brazilian scheme offered by Phoenix Models. There's also a smaller version, but my eye is in this 60cc model.
