This new line of 59"-62" birds might make good candidates for club combat/racing activities.
Yes, they are fun/sport scale. That's just what they need to be. Mods can be done for more scale looks if desired.

[Aros]

Agreed! By the time I was done with my P-38 I was quite pleased overall.

[Shemp]

I have a E-flite® Power 46 BL Outrunner Motor is this motor enough power for this plane? I'm fairly new to building and it it very hard to understand.

Finally got around to building this. Went with a badass power system 3530-700 , talon 90amp and a 13x8 prop so i can run 5 cell. static watts are 1185 58amps with this. 6 cell gets 1650 and 78amps Also using eflight retract s and the oleo's in the specs.


Still need to put the stickers on. my first balsa ARF and it was not to difficult to build although some things are not included in the manual. Looks pretty good but much different from the pictures. The camo is not as dark as shown.

have not flown it yet, hopefully next weekend.

This plane has officially flown now. This plane flys great and looks great. Here is a go pro video of the third flight, its not the best because you cant zoom in using a hat cam.
