Here you can find some of my actual planes with their technical specifications, other information and - of course - picture galleries. If you click on a thumbnail, a seperate gallery view opens. Because this page got quite a bit longer, you can find links below to jump to the specific planes directly:
The Sukhoi SU-31 is my new competition plane in the 3m class. The construction is based on all knowlege gained with the former planes from CARF-Models. The new pin-hinged ailerons let the SU be most agile in 3D and precise in sequences. I'm happy all around with her. So far, I participated in ITOC 2010 and Horizon Airmeet 2010 with this plane, amongst many others.
Technical specification / equipment:
- Wingspan 3m (118")
- Total weight 19 kg (40 lbs) dry
