fiasco

Product viewed: 19265

At the Weak Signal Show in Toledo 2017, we were sitting in the lounge and  I said that sounds like a fiasco. Dave Platt said; ”sounds like a good name for a model”.  Subsequently a design emerged on a napkin.  A few weeks later Dave finished a hand drawn plan which we converted to CAD and cut a set of laser  parts for a proof–of-concept model.  Later 2 prototypes were built. One for these instructions and one by Tim Miller for flight testing.  Test model turned out to be  typical of a Dave Platt design with great flight characteristics.  The flaparons are unique in that through “transmitter mixing” they can be used as both flaps, and ailerons.  Model has a 44” wing span with 340 sq. in of area, designed around a 200Watt brushless motor and a 3/2200mAh LiPo battery.  Flying weight is in the range of 30oz.
