Recommended engines
- RCS/Moki 215cc, 5-cylinder radial engine.
- 120 or 160cc twin cylinder engines.
Assembly properties
- This fuselage is unique
- All parts are laser-cut (see Photos)
- New fuselage design based on our 40% version
- Pre-cut ¼” Lite-Ply top and bottom fit between both sides. You end up with a
very strong “box structure" and the rest is cosmetics.
- Impossible to build this fuselage crooked
- Can be built in less than 9 hours.
- All fuselage sides, top and bottom parts incorporate cavities in proper
locations for easy insertion of side formers.
- Stringers on this design are for aesthetic purposes only.
- The stab panels are "plug-in type" for transport convenience. Proper stab
incidence is factory set.
- Stab mounted servos. Each elevator panel includes a laser-cut recess to
encapsulate each servo.
- Ample room and easy access for any radio gear installation, ignition system,
fuel/smoke tanks….
- “Plug-in” wing design for transport convenience.
- All four wing panels and two cabanes are built over supplied jigs. Impossible
to build them crooked.
- All plug-in tubes are 6061-T6, 0.035” thou.
- All ribs are laser-cut for simplicity and accuracy.
- Wood struts are factory cut to the proper angle for simple installation between
the wing panels.
- All critical attachment points are laser-marked or cut.
Instructions
- 113 page building manual with large fonts (downloadable)
- 7 main CAD drawings
- Building pictures
- Engine box templates for RCS 215 radial engine
- Explicit building sketches
- Full-scale alignment and shaping templates for critical area
- 20BM info CD, DVD movie/video of the actual plane flying with the RCS 215 radial, doing an aerobatic routine at “full throttle” AND landing.
Most two-winged aircrafts have a top and bottom cabane. Top wing cabane
alignment as always been a problem, not anymore!
- We supply a "Laser-Cut" Top Cabane Jig that eliminates any possible errors while
building and ensures that the six factory- welded main steel struts are in
perfect alignment.
- Don't be fooled: The Top Cabane does require a jig for perfect alignment, be it
a Waco or anything else.
- Special Cabane Jig Included.
| Left: With the Jig |
Right: Without the Jig. |
 |
- Using this jig, an innovation of Team amr, top cabane alignment is as simple as
1-2-3.
- “No one on this planet makes it this simple: Period”
Flying qualities
- One flying statement on this beauty has
been:
"It flies like a glorified Cub"
- With its low wing and cubic loading, it takes-off in a scale manner or you can
make it "jump" from short fields.
- Very predictable in turns and excellent wind
penetration. Stall speed is ridiculously low with no tendency to tip-stall.
- Aerobatics are like the real one: A real attention getter.
- Landings are
impressive, especially when you hear the "wind" from the struts and flying
wires…
- There is a saying: "There is nothing like a bipe" and it’s true.
- You may have put in the past your fascination aside to build a bipe but now is the time.
Revision #2
- Includes nine new Scale glass parts, 36” x 120” plan, simpler
fuselage based on our 40%.
- New revision 2 fuselage. 6-hours to assemble
