Radio Controlled Airplanes



Currently, my favorite airplane is a Mega Motor's Freedom, powered by a Mega 22/20/2 with a 5:1 gearbox (airplane, motor and gearbox no longer available). This is the airplane that finally convinced me electric flight had come of age. It is a .40 sized bird and will fly straight up for as long as I can see. After this airplane, I really don't see a reason to go back to a slimer.

Me and my Freedom The Whole Motley Crew

My Dumas Kestral For indoor flying, I haven't found anything better than a Dumas Kestral with the GWS IPS-A gearbox. I have mounted a little Fieago brushless motor in the gearbox. And, I have switched to lithium polymer batteries rather than original he NiMH batteries. Now the Kestral flies forever at 1/2 throttle.

My second favorite indoor plane is a mini IFO. The thing is a blast to fly, but a little too fast for me if the space is tight.
