..some history;
I've had this kit for seven years, new in the box, with dreams that the "next wave" of Lithium batteries would be ridiculously small and ridiculously powerfull..! Well, it hasn't happened..(yet)!
When first presented to the public, they sold for over $US200. When it was found nearly impossible to get them airborne, the kits showed up on HobbyKing for $US98.
The kit is well finished with it's fiberglas fuselage and balsa wings and tail. There is an elcheapo five blade fan, (no motor), included along with some hardware. Of course there are no instructions.
At present it would make a terrific "static model" for those "Arrow addicts" out there.
To fly decently this model would require (in my opinion) a modern day aftermarket motor/fan assembly from the likes of RCLander and a 70C or higher 5S 2200mah Lipo battery. Also a set of electric retracts would be ideal. These would require surgery to install them. With only a 2200mah pack, flight time would probably be limited to no more than two minutes.
The battery compartment is limited in size, that's why I was waiting for the next generation of Lithium cells.
Price is $75.00 Canadian..!
