CARF Models Joker
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 a good price.
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. Complete with fuel tank, thrust tube, servo mounts, even an electric retract is already installed.
RC Installation
All servos are pepared to be mounted on their side. Common size 15mm servos are used. We offer a servo package of 8 SAVÖX 1260 which just drop 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.
Landing Gear
The CARF-Models Joker comes with an electric retract set, already instealled and ready to operate. 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
Propulsion & Fuel System
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 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.
Flight Characteristics
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.
