Soon to be available (Nov. 1996), another masterpiece model designed by Quique and Mario Somenzini, one of the worlds best and most innovative F3A aerobatics teams. The Desafio 2000 has been designed for improved constant, slow speed performance and to suit the new 1996 rules and larger engines.

This model is approaching the full 2 x2 model rule, and has a much larger fuselage than is normal. The model has an attractive ‘Sukhoi’ look to it, which adds to it’s appeal. As reported by Quique, not only does the model have an attractive ‘scale like’ look, it is the best model he has flown and is capable of many manoeuvres outside of the F3A schedules.

It is a big model, and will require a powerful engine, in 2 or 4 stroke.

At the time of printing, not all details are available for publication.

Without doubt one of the best F3A models ever produced, and our best selling kit for many years. Almost without exception, customers are reporting back to us as to how happy they are with the kit, and the models performance.

Whilst it is a 1993 design, we expect this model will be very competitive for some years to come. It is a half step smaller than the 2 x 2 rule, but is very simple and easy to fly with any engine of .120 size.

The model has been modified slightly from Quique’s 4th place model at the 93 World Champs to have an enlarged and lengthened belly pan to allow for larger pipes (up to 635mm operating length to the baffle, 2 stroke pipes). This has been done to suit the new 1996 engine rules.

As a matter of interest (we are always being asked), the Tango design Quique flew in the 1995 Japan world champs, was a slightly larger version of this model.

Soon to be available two piece (plug on) wing model designed by Chris White (Stylus designer).

At the time of printing this book, we are awaiting the arrival of the moulds, plans and photo’s from Chris in Sydney All we can say, is that it is a very attractive model, slightly bigger than a Desafio S, suitable for the 1996 rules.
