WOW - A truly 3D Micro Plane!
FINALLY!
Now we can CRASH in smaller spaces! :-)
Seriously now...
I don't ussually post on planes I haven't flown - but, the RaptorGS 3D looks like its going to be a groundbreaking plane... and, its designed by wonder kid pilot and ETOC competitor, Ryan Archer!
This video below showcases it pretty well, but CLICK HERE for a forum thread on this plane on rcgroups.com where there are many more video's & lots of pics!
What follows is the information at axonracing.com's website on the Raptor GS - here is how THEY DESCRIBE IT:
"This is the new Raptor GS 3d micro aerobatic plane. Its a durable micro plane that is fun for hover practice in your house, aerobatics in a gym, backyard, or your garage! The airframe is designed by ETOC pilot and Tuscon Shootout winner, Ryan Archer. This plane only weighs 1 ounce! The receiver ready kit comes with cut and painted foam, instructions, carbon fiber, lipo battery, brushless motor, ESC, and 3 Falcon servos. It is compatible with most 2 or 3 gram receivers, such as Spektrum Ar6300. If you want to use the Spektrum receiver, we recommend the 2s version of the plane for best performance. Now comes in Blue!"
