Keith Paskewitz brought his newest IFO. Just finished today May
18, 2008 this is the 5th generation his of IFO's or maybe 6th depending
on how you count. Will test fly at La Vista Community Center next
Monday "tomorrow".
Starting 7 or 8 years ago Keith built a stock IFO, which was 11 to 12
oz. and then added a steerable rudder. When Out-runner motors &
LiPo batteries came along he modified it to a lighter 8 oz. version &
then added a second landing gear on top so it could land up-side-down.
He then modified it to a still lighter one with an E-flite 14 gram motor
and the 2 gram Spectrum Nanolite Airborne system.
Now a brand new lighter still version, with lighter carbon fiber, cases
taken off servos etc. etc. it weighs 4 ounces with battery. |
