BAF 42in. Skua
- Item #: DWF_42001
Our new BAF 42in. Skua Biplane design is based around the F3P indoor competition foamies with an outdoor airframe. It slows down to a crawl, with no wing rock, when you hit the throttle it tracks like a pattern plane. If your just getting into more complicated 3D flying, this plane can make you look really good. If your a lazy non rudder flyer, no worries it requires very little to no rudder input. The design allows for knife edge flight, rolling harriers and rolling circles need very little rudder input.

Notes:
The airframe is fun to build, with colored step-by-step instructions, you'll have it completed in a couple evenings. This giant foamie is easy to launch, and slows to a walk for fly-by's or landings. Loops, rolls, knife edges, waterfalls, walls, elevators and harriers are very much like flying a 40% gasser, nice and slow! Hovering is as easy as it gets, it's rock solid. Slow flight rudder only turns are great for flying in a small spaces. Using a 3S 2200 20C LiPoly, flight times are around 8-10 minutes.
