Les,
I decided to respond publicly since I have 3 of these new models. They are
great!!! I wrote an earlier post on my son's new airplane but I feel the
Artemis C-tail will be even better for our TD events because of the drawback
of the V-tails. Two guys in our club wanted the new models. I have had both
a business and personal relationship with Tom Copp at F3X.com for the past
several years. I called Tom and about 10 days later both models arrived. The
workmanship is as good or better than anything out there. The rudders are
extremely light and use a unique hinging technique which will insure perfect
centering every time. The fuse is very light and features a carbon/kevlar
weave that is very strong. The pushrods are installed as is the rear
bellcrank.I believe the models will come in around 68-70oz. when complete.
The wings feature molded servo pockets and the center panel is built exactly
like my regular Artemis LT which means it will be very strong. I currently
have several models but liked these so much that I went ahead and ordered
one for myself. Hope this helps.
Jim
