FlyingThingZ - Cut Up the Sky! http://flyingthingz.com See what the buzzzzz is all about! Fri, 10 Dec 2010 20:45:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.2 Sky Cutter .40 V2 with Green Covering http://flyingthingz.com/sky-cutter-green/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sky-cutter-green http://flyingthingz.com/sky-cutter-green/#comments Thu, 18 Nov 2010 23:10:04 +0000 tdiaz http://evilair.com/sky-cutter-40-v2-with-green-covering/ Flight Performance: Take offs are a breeze as the Sky Cutter takes to the air with ease. Simply apply power and pull up slightly on the controllers once speed has built up. High speed or slow, the Sky Cutter can fly at any speed and still retain a constant and steady flight path. Landings require a little finesse as the Sky Cutter will come in at a high alpha angle. With a combination of power and elevator, it will touch down softly. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFdb7FeuqlU Continue reading →]]> Included with Kit: CNC cut foam, laser cut balsa and lite-ply, full size plans, step by step photo illustrated manual, landing gear, screws, bolts, nuts, fittings, control horns, and nose gear. Optional Covering Set Not Included with this kit.

Required to Complete: 4 channel radio controller (with elevon or “V” tail mixing), engine (40-61 two stroke or .45-.72 four stroke), fuel tank, pushrods, wheels, prop, covering material, glues, and basic hobby tools.

Building: While the Sky Cutter may look a little bit different, the construction techniques used are the same as most other planes. The average modeler will have no problem.  The instruction manual details the whole build process step by step.  To view our online manual, click here.  An average modeler should have no problem assembling the Sky Cutter.

Conclusions: The Sky Cutter is fun and easy to build. With top quality laser cut balsa, plastic and plywood; beautiful CNC cut foam cores and parts, it is the ultimate high tech kit! All in all you can’t find a plane that gets you more attention, is as fun to fly, and rare as this one.

There's a new dog in town. Everyone said it would never fly well. We've proved them wrong. This airplane, yes, airplane will fly just as well as any other in your fleet. Not only will it fly well, it is also capable of doing many advanced aerobatic maneuvers. To top that off, who wouldn't love to watch a dog house fly with the dog as the pilot on top. This is a definite winner at any air show.
The Dog House Kit now comes with White Walls and Red Roof
 Description: When we started this project, we only had a few goals in mind. Create a kit that is simple to assembly, fun to fly, fully aerobatic and durable. Many people told us that this particular kit will never do any of those things. Boy did we prove them wrong. Although it took us over a year of research and development, we finally created the kit that met each and every single goal. Flight Performance: Just like any airplane, simply add throttle and pull back on the elevator once you have obtained enough speed. The Dog House is very predictable during flight and has no unusual tendencies. It is fully aerobatic and capable of performing anything you dish out at it. It will also fly at crawling speeds without tip stalling: the controls will get mushy during extremely slow flight, but this is not an unusual reaction to any airplane at slow speeds. Landings are as simple as take offs, simply slow the airplane down for a smooth touchdown.

The Dog House Kit now comes with White Walls and Red Roof

Required to Complete: 4 channel radio controller (with elevon or “V” tail mixing), engine (.46 – .61 two stroke or .51 – .72 four stroke), fuel tank, pushrods, wheels, prop, glues, and basic hobby tools.

Building: Like all our other kits, this one is extremely easy to assemble. Novices and experts alike will not have a problem putting this kit together. Our completely illustrated manual takes you step by step through the entire assembly process. Every step is outlined so that even the least skilled builder will be able to complete the kit successfully.

Conclusions: The Flying Dog House is simply to assemble. It flies just like any other pattern plane on the market. It is capable of many aerobatic maneuvers. It is extremely strong and can take a beating. Easy to assembly, fun to fly, fully aerobatic and durable. Damn right we met all our goals.

Channels: 3 Engine: .46-.61 two stroke .53-.72 four stroke Building: Witch Wilga is easy to build, even for a beginner. Check out the [download id="5" format="1"] to get an idea of how simple she is to assemble. The design is straight forward and only requires simple hobby tools and glues. A complete fully illustrated instruction manual guides you step by step through the building process. The sail (wing) is all sewn and ready to fly, and the body, arms, legs and head are laser cut and ready for finishing and final assembly. The kit can be built and ready to fly in less time than many ARF's! Flight Performance: Witch Wilga is hand launched and takes to the sky easily. With the huge wing area, she will float and come to a virtual stop in mid air. Sky can do high speed dives and even loops. Since Witch Wilga is such a floater, anyone can easily fly her with just rudder and elevator controls. Landings are also easy, just remember that throttle is needed as the elevator has very little effect at low speeds.. She comes down slow and our landing gear will let you touch down, and protect your engine and prop. Continue reading →]]> Included with Kit: Laser cut coroplast body, arms, head, and legs. Laser cut lite ply. Fully illustrated step by step imanual, full hardware kit (Landing gear, screws, bolts, nuts, fittings, etc…)

Required to Complete: 3-4 channel radio controller, engine (40-61 two stroke or .45-.72 four stroke), wheels & collars, pushrods, motor mount, hobby glues/epoxy, and basic hobby tools.

Conclusions: Witch Wilga is a sure bet during Halloween or any other Fun Fly. She incredibly easy to assemble and fly. Watch as people are amazed at how steady she is in the air. One pilot even got a ticket for obstructing traffic when cars on the highway stopped in amazement just to watch Witch Wilga flying around.
