Overview

We call this new line of warbirds aero-warbirds because they bring warbirds up to a whole new level of performance. These are nearly as aerobatic as traditional aerobatic planes like Yaks and Extras. Piloting one of these planes will be an experience you don't want to miss.

We received the first prototype and should have it flying soon. Photos and video will be coming. It is powered by a DA-50 or Zenoah G-62. This is another highly aerobatic Warbird capable of far more than just fast fly bys. We are developing our own retracts and tailwheel and muffler (for a DA-50 or G-62) specifically for this plane. We are developing the wing system so that it can be installed like the typical 1 piece wing from the bottom, though once installed, the outer wing portions are removable for transport. This keeps the plane on its landing gear, and keeps the flaps and air lines always connected for very easy set up at the field. These redesigns will take all the hassles out of warbirds, and raise the level of fun! The fuselage is fiberglass with panel lines and rivets, then painted. The wings are built up and covered with fabric and painted. We include much of the hardware. We hope the retracts will be under $350. We will be carrying Zenoah engines to power these birds as well. The main issues of landing gear and muffler are big problems, but we will have them resolved soon.

Mufflers are very important. We are developing a new line of mufflers for these planes. To complete the scale outline, the mufflers must be compact. Yet for high speed we need high rpm, up to 10,000, so the muffler cannot be restrictive. But, since no canister mufflers can be used we want the mufflers to actually muffle! This is tough, but we are up to the challenge.

WARNING - Gasoline and Turbine powered aircraft are not manufactured to withstand unlimited G's. Any aircraft can fail, be it a wing folding up or a fuselage breaking in half under too high of a load. Just as any full size aircraft, model aircraft have a maximum G rating. Because you are not in the plane flying it and experiencing the G's and reading the G-meter, it is more difficult to judge the G's on the aircraft, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the aircraft. Understand that if you perform a snap roll, parachute, wall, blender, knife edge loop, or pull hard on the elevator at almost any speed, you can be putting in excess of 15 G's, even in excess of 30 G's, and most aircraft can only designed to take 10-12 G's. If you perform any violent maneuver, you can break your plane. When I perform hard maneuvers, especially for the first time on an airframe, I am prepared for a failure and am prepared for it as best I can be. This mainly includes performing the maneuver far enough away from spectators that in event of a failure that I am not endangering others. In addition, be prepared for the manufacturer to not pay for a new airframe which is broken during flight. It is common practice for any manufacturer to not replace an airframe which breaks in the air or upon landing. I have only seen manufacturers replace airframes when they have received many of the same failures and the manufacturer determines that there was a design or manufacturing error. If you break an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is probably not the fault of the manufacturer. Please fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds.
