Avatar electro - Introduction

Description
Jitom is proud to present an elektro-fuselage for our AVATAR. The goal was not a "Hotliner" with a phantastic climbing rate. We wanted a model with nearly the same weight and thermal-performance as the glider-version with a comfortable climbing rate like an F5J-model. Fuselage has the same size like glider-version. Servos for V-tail are placed on the bottom side of fuselage in the area of the flaps. To do a comfortable change of lipo-battery in few seconds , we placed a small canopy on the upper side of fuselage. With the recommended gear from "Reisenauer" with a 3-cell lipo (1300mAh) and a 16x8,5 prop you will climb more than 10 m/sec. Weight of model is only 60-80g more than the glider version.
We recommend following components:
- electric-engine: http://www.reisenauer.de/artikeldetails.php5?aid=1637
- prop: Freudenthaler 16x8,5
- spinner: Freudenthaler 30mm
- controller: Robbe Roxxy 960-6 BL
- battery: 3s-Lipo 1300mAh 45-90C like http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=32726
Also new flourescent colors are available: green, orange and red.
