7' wingspan "Parkflyer"

[19000rpm]

You wouldn't normally associate a 7' wingspan with park flying, but then you probably weren't thinking about Eflite's Carbon Z.

This baby will take off in a few feet, go vertical and hover. Then you can do some knife edge. It incorporates Eflite's AR635 6ch radio and stabilization system.

If the weather allows I may get to maiden it off the Ice Road.

I'd been going back and forth about getting another 3D plane and then this comes along: a giant Cub, Cub's being a favorite of mine, that will do 3D. A No Brainer. Even for me.

Another thing I liked is that they use socket head cap screws that actually fit the openings. Makes the assembly, and partial reassembly, for disassembly,transportation and reassembly, much more likely to end happily with no stripped heads.

American Dad. Too funny!
