The motor I chose is from Grayson Hobbies. DrKiwi on RCG recommended it in one of his reviews.

30A burst

31 grams (about 30% lighter than other 200 watt motors)

The colour scheme I am shooting for can be found at this link:

I'm checking out their site at http://www.greenairdesigns.ca/shop/

Definitely, some interesting product. The site seems a bit difficult to navigate...maybe they're busy..!

The site is different. When you click a link you will have to scroll down to see the display. 1st few clicks I never scrolled down so thought they were not working
There are lots of good planes there. many to choose from.

What I'm finding Marc, is a lack of detail on each model with regard to specs, what it's made of, etc. They have been around ten years and moved into larger premises and have some "classified" things going on for other sellers.....but trying to get info on each model is like pulling teeth.

I found the larger Tudor that's a true edf and it looks great...it's molded foam..!

Apparently what they have learned to do with depron is something else....the kit you ordered should show that. The fuselage appears to be several rolled pieces that get joined.

Keep us informed when you get the kit..!

Where are they shipped from?
I assume the price is in US bucks..eh?

The Canadian site doesn't show much on specs. I had to send a request for info. I was emailed the build info that had the specs in it. I must say they are prompt. I emailed them and the reply was same day. I was informed my model was shipped to Canada post today (tracking number) The model is depron mostly.
The prices are in Canadian dollars, they ship from Alberta so I am glad I don't have to convert.
They have a new Cf-101 voodoo but that is made a different way to get more scale so it costs more. Then again the Lanc looks good too.

Thanks Marc, good info, nice to have them available in Canada.

I thought that Voodoo was awesome....! (left turn after passing the MacD bridge....low pass over the field...up up OVER the tower, right turn around the NSP red and white pylon, throttle back, commence landing sequence..!) Wow..!

Definitely added this site to my "favorites"...!
