Product Details
Description
Now available as Kit Only Version and with the
ARF-Plus package installed.
General Information
Small Sport jets are trendy...! The CARF-Models Joker is
following this development, being based on our former and smaller EDF Sport Jet
"Spark", now a little enlarged in size, simplified in design and
prepared for the increasingly popular 70-80 N jet engines.
160 cm wing span and a little under 2m length, single piece
wing and stab mounted to the fuselage from the bottom with 2 dowels and 2
bolts, all control surfaces pre-hinged as elastic flaps, all these features
follow the successful path of our larger sport jets, such as the UltraFlash. To
make it even more compact, the fuselage has a removable nose cone which allows
transportation in very small cars. And the box size is very small as well, thus
UPS shippable around the globe at economical prices.
The component layout is very simple, open ducting and a
single central fuel tank makes all installation very easy and light. It is
prepared to side-mount 8 common 15 mm servos such as a SAVOX 1260.
Prefabrication has been taken to a level where only the servos have to be
clicked in and engine has to be mounted with 4 screws. The electric retract is
included in the kit and already installed. A complete hardware includes
linkages and all necessary hardware in German quality. Also in
prefabrication and completeness it beomes a benchmark. Almost Plug&Play the
Joker comes along, if the ARF Plus package is ordered together with the
kit.
All servos are pepared to be mounted on their side. Common
size 15mm servos are used. A regular 15 mm Mini Servo just drops in and get
held down with a carbon plate and two screws. High quality linkages, cut to
their exact length, are included in the hardware bag.
The CARF-Models Joker can be equipped with an electric
retract set. It includes rugged rubber wheels, electric brakes and an
integrated controller operating all the functions either from the receiver
battery or from a separate power source. The nose gear comes with a direct
servo mount on the strut, eliminating additional mechanical connections or
cables. The gear is very strong and proven by thousands of similar sized sport
jets on our flying fields world wide. Besides purchasing this gear as an
accessory, you can opt for the ARF Plus package, where landing gear, thrust
tube and fuel tank are readily installed in the plane. This must be ordered
together with the kit, cannot be retrofitted by us later.
The CARF-Models Joker is designed for 70-80 N engines. These
engines are light weight, have very economical fuel consumption, thus allow
flying times of well over 7 minutes with the included fiberglass fuel tank. The
fuel tank mount is already installed.
The fuel tank set can be purchase as accessory and comes
with a hopper tank and all plumbing hardware.
The dual wall thrust tube is made from superlight stainless
steel and aluminum, has a carbon entry cone and drops right into the fuselage,
interlocking with the engine formers. It can be purchased as accessory as well.
All together it is installed if the ARF-Plus package is chosen.
There is no difference in flight performance to even
significantly larger Sport Jets. The CARF-Models Joker flies "large".
Not twitchy at all, rock solid it all maneouvers. The speed range is wide and
both the aerobatic capabilities as well as the slow flight characteristics are
extremely impressive. You have to see it, you have to fly it yourself to
believe.
