Lets race!!

Sorry to hear Paul. Looking forward to seeing this!

Many thanks to Jon Barnes at HDFlyer.com for shooting a fantastic video!

Kits are all cut. Get ahold of Paul Kohlman to get them while they're hot.   

Sounds cool Adam, I'll be there to check it out.

Paul,

A sheet of 6mm Depron 27"x 39" is about $10 shipped.

I'm in.....just let me know when the classes have been decided so I can start building.

Guys,

I will have Invictus at the field this coming Sunday if anyone is interested in giving it a shot. Steve Cole will be there too, so I'll have a buddy box set up for those who may not be comfortable otherwise.

Paul,

The T-28 has not been discontinued, only the grey/blue Air Force version & parts. The white/orange version is still available. I doubt they will discontinue it until they have a replacement available, and even then will continue to support it for two years with parts. This is Horizons' typical MO. My guess is that this class will survive at least this year, maybe longer.

All,

On another note, Thunder Tiger planes are still available if you do some searching. A buddy at work just bought 3 P-51's from Hobby People on-line to race this year.

 

Good input Tony, thanks.

Tony,

The only way anybody is having any luck getting ahold of them is by submitting a service ticket via the website. Good luck!

Sorry about that grape stake Tony, it was flying real nice! 

Tony,

Is it ready to go? I'm heading up to the field tomorrow to test fly Invictus.

Steve,

I really like the idea of an "into" level EF-1 class. 3 cells and 9x9 prop may work. It would be a good stepping stone after Reno 450. when folks are more comfortable with bigger planes and going faster, a battery and prop change gets them into the next class. We should do some testing. Anyone else interested in this? We could call it EF-1 lite.

How about some pics?

You are correct about the wings being similar to the Shoestring. They are the same in fact, except for the tip. They were both designed by the same people and share the same wing. Early on I cut some kits of both, so I have both sets of plans.
