Pilot RC 2.2m ElsterJet FC1 Scheme 02 Orange
llowing the great success and feedback from our large FC1, we have continued our collaboration with Ralph & Enrico from Elster Jet to produce a smaller, more everyday and easy to transport version, sized around the most popular turbines and without compromising on performance.
SPECIFICATIONS:
| Model: | FC1 |
| Wingspan: | 52.3″ (1,329mm) |
| Length: | 85.4″ (2,169mm) |
| Wing area: | – – |
| Weight: | 19.6lbs (8.9kg) with JetCat P130Rxi turbine and fuel bag |
FEATURES:
- German design, by Ralph and Enrico from Elster Jet
- Extremely lightweight full composite construction especially designed for outstanding 3D performance
- Painted outside the mold so no seam lines
- Ultra strong and light weight landing gear mounts, with factory installed blind nuts so mounting is just plug and play
- Specially designed easy access to turbine for speedy installation
- Field setup can be done in seconds, thanks to the quick releases on the wings without the need for any tools, and the single elevator bolt accessed from the side
- Removable wing and elevator for easy transport
Please note that the FC1 is designed specifically for aerobatics and 3D vectored flight, with light weight being key. It is not designed to be used as a full power, high speed race plane.
