look at what the Italians are up to!

Post by Donato Marcantonio »

Hello friends, I used to be a rccombat member, my numer was 404.

Now I am doing combat in Italy.
This is the death machine we came up with here in Italy.
So far I won the second contest of the season with this IL2 Sturmovik
It has a fiberglass fuselage which is very light and flexible, 3mm medium balsa tail feathers, and the wings are white foam, covered with obeche. Total weight is just 1 kilo, so a tad over 2 lbs. It is powered by a OS .25FX with MVVS pipe and head gasket removed.

Hello Lee, I think we met some long time ago, I came to Muncie, with Chris Shepard.

The plane is sure very fast, in the last 2 years, with the czecs and the poles bringing out some clean , light composite planes, we had to step up to their game. This plane with a Webra .25 and the mvvs pipe has been clocked at over 240kmh, that is I suppose around 140mph.
The roll rate is unbelievable at about 3+ per second.
