Re: reed falcon

Postby richard armstrong » August 25th, 2014, 10:59 am

picked up from the NATS the read falcon, less work than i thought, engine electronics, and covering, with minor mod work on the tail to take 7kg wing servos, and A 12-20KG rudder servo,

original engine 3w60i, with custom pipe, that been sold, can't afford a 3w, so looking at a 55cc, with full cannister pipe, not going to skimp on this one, where possible all mg servos, but i do have some futarba aileron S series servos in the drawn x 4

the whole aircraft is being done in white , not sure to go with bluewhite or red/white checker for the underside of top wing bottom wing and tail,

and the final design????????????????????? thats the kicker

planning ahead!

I watched a gentleman put on a very scale-like aerobatic routine with a Reed Falcon at an event in California a number of years ago. I was most impressed with the performance of this model. It had a smoke system which made it all the more impressive. I don't recall what he was using for an engine. You should enjoy this one!

Cheers,
Nigel
