Flex Innovations - RV-8 70CC ARF Kit Red/Blue
Product Details
Description
The RV-8 70cc FLS (FeatherLite Series) is a 35% scale model
of the famous experimental Van’s Aircraft RV-8. Designer and World Champion
Quique Somenzini has taken a completely new approach with the design of the
RV-8 70cc FLS. A massive airframe, with over 2000 square inches (130 sq. dm.)
of wing area, that comes in at 23 pounds (10.4 kg) flying weight, offers such
an incredibly lightly loaded airframe, it feels like you are flying something
lighter than air. Couple the extremely light wing loading with key design and
geometric details from the master himself, and you get an aircraft that has a
incredible flight envelope.
Along with the incredible airframe design of the RV-8 70cc FLS, it is also designed to accept multiple power systems, including 60cc electric setups that allow you to fly anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes on a typical 12S Li-Po setup! We also can’t forget about its float-ready airframe either! The optional RV-8 70cc FLS Float Set includes everything needed to get it on the water, and is also available to match your RV-8 70cc FLS’ colorscheme.
This is an airplane that you need to truly experience for
yourself, and once you have, you’ll quickly add one to your hangar! From its
insane stability at walking speeds with the flaps down, to classic 3D and
precision aerobatic maneuvers, the RV-8 70cc FLS has the flight performance and
versatility that is for every pilot, of virtually every skill level.
