FlyBaby 1:2 in ivory-blue from CARF Models 702000
A scale scheme with a twist: The CARF-Models Flybaby's prototype has been modeled exactly after the full size airplane of Jim Katz in the USA. It can't get more classic than that. The original scheme has been twisted on this version, and many say, it is not less beautiful than the original one. Blue and ivory is just such a classy color combo. And it is still well visible in cloudy and dark blue skies... The fine black and white trim between the ivory and blue areas adds further beauty to it.
The plane requires a pair of main wheels (choose between balloon or foam), a special carbon tail gear and a pilot figure, where you have choice between a static pilot or an animated one.
The CARF-Models FlyBaby has a wingspan of 4.2m (165") and a weight of 24-28 kg, depending on the engine. With a 150-180 cc 2 cylinder four stroke engine it can be built safely below 25 kg, and if this european weight limit isn't a problem, there are endless possibilities how it can be scaled up and detailed out.
Every component, wings, fuselage, stab and fin are all composite sandwich parts. In the tail area they are ULTRA LIGHT, in the front strong to hold heavy and powerful engines. All parts have scale fabric surface structure with visible stitching onto the ribs. Even the inside of th fuselage in the cockpit area imitates a wooden structure.
We offer the FlyBaby as ARF kit or PNP with or without installed engine. Check back with us to learn about engine options (2 and 4 Cylinder, 2 and 4 Stroke). Our prototype has a Kolm 240 B4 installed. The 2nd plane, the first serial production unit, will have a VALACH 210 2 cylinder boxer. 2-stroke engines of 150 cc are of course also possible, but will require additional weight in the cowling to make up for the CG.
*** Please Note: We have the price as accurate as possible shipped to the UK but a small extra charge maybe needed to cover import costs.
Please do not order if this is not acceptable.
