Sorry everyone. The red scheme pre-order sold out already. I ordered a normal month supply and it sold out in 1 day. I had no idea the new color scheme would be this popular. I have more coming a month behind this order. The pre-orders will all arrive in late Sept. The next batch of red will arrive a month after that (late October). Unfortunately, yellow will also not arrive until late October. We started ordering less yellow in anticipation of the new scheme and we ended up with too few yellow due to human error. I apologize for the lack of inventory - it is our error and we'll try not to repeat it!

I sure do love this plane. I attached a small 2K camera to the belly and captured a couple clips from this weekend. I'm quite impressed with the camera quality for $70. You can see on the video how well the landing gear works on grass fields. Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx89JTHQRQ8

After flying over the weekend and still seeing more and more new Avanti’s at the flying field (I think we may be at about 9,000 now LOL), a little painting and design was in order (some carbon fiber accents done a while ago and airbrushed a checkered/carbon pattern in pearl black on top of the yellow paint). This should help ensure I recognize my own plane at the field and take mine home when done, and so nobody else thinks theirs is mine and takes it instead :Scared:. I’m looking forward to seeing the red Avanti’s at the field to make it even easier. Ha-ha

Hello everyone, Just singed up today. I am happy to learn from you and hopefully be able to help out in some ways.
I got the FW Avanti S ARF plus, got the FW 1820kv 80mm EDF inrunner. Strange that this EDF does not show up anymore in MRC site. No info re; the motor specs.
I'd like your advice on an ESC. I do have a HV 80amp Graupner ESC with built in telemetry, but I am thinking may be 80 amps may not be enough?
Any and all help and advice, on set up of what ever ESC you recommend will be greatly appreciated. I am looking at the Geko 125A or 155A 6S, or perhaps the HV 125A, what ya think?
I plan to run 6S, 40-55C, 4000-5000 packs.
Of course I have read some of the postings here, but at 113 pages, I must have missed a few...LOL...

Quick question. I recently lost my avanti in a corn field due to an unsolicited, very quick roll. Remarkably, only needed to replace the fuselage. I'm currently re-assembling and I'm planning on bypassing the built in mix board for the ailerons, flaps, and elevator. As I'm running the cables from the tail, I'm wondering; should I run the wires in next to the speed controller... or strapped below the speed controller plate (more exposed to fan input air, but I think I can secure them properly.
Thoughts??

Hi new to this forum. First time assembly of my Avanti today all works apart from the flaps. When I powered it up the servos moved to centre position. Just can’t get flap servos to move as they are in the flap down position now. My elevator moves correctly when I flick the switch. I’ve got my wing type as 1 aileron and 1 flap and I’m using Spektrum iX12
