    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    So I put in 5 flights tonight with my Dalton Extra... Now working on the challenger fuse. It all is based on some light ply you nail down first. Then drop in the formers. 8793=3162-image.jpg 8793=3163-image.jpg 8793=3164-image.jpg 8793=3165-image.jpg

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    The kit has all CNC routed parts, so tonight I've been cutting them out and getting them ready for assembly. I can tell you that it is a good thing that they cut them this way for two reasons. 1. The parts are very cleanly cut. 2. Everything is straight, whereas if they were completely cut out...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    The engine... Ahh yes the engine. This was the big issue for me. I want this thing to really perform, but also be really really scale. So, the choice is a Valach 210cc gas 4 stroke, with a Zimmerman exhaust that is a two into one header with one canister or custom straight headers...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    I've wanted this Challenger II kit since the first time I saw Bill Hempel's on video and Desert Aircraft's at Joe Nall in about 2005. This is what an Aerobatic airplane is supposed to look like! Many if you know that I spent a lot of time building and flying IMAC planes, specifically...

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    www.vogelsang-aeroscale.com is the dealer for Delro. I flew one of Vogelsang's 3.1m ravens a few weeks ago. I put 6 flights on it to really see how it worked with setup. I was very impressed. They are the premier kit on the market, and can be ordered a few different ways. This is right...

    Good beginner jet?

    As far as a "first Jet"... there are a few things we need to consider. What experience do you have already? How much do you want to spend? Do you have any size limit to transport? Where will you fly it? Are you more familiar with composite construction...

    3 blade props

    I don't like the 29x12N... It has good RPM, but the plane feels like it is not moving through vertical snaps. The 28.5x12 pulls better. I personally like the Delro 3 blades better than anything else out there.
