Fashion - 50 ARF Airpalne

[jet22b]

Hi Everyone;

I would like to know if anyone has built and flown the Fashion - 50 airplane?
I just finish putting one together. DX7 system, Power by a Evolution 46 engine. I would like to know the pro's and con's of this plank. I have been fly planks for the past 25 years and fly helicopter for the last 2 years. Just like to have some headup on what this airplane can do!!
Thanks for any input!!

Thanks Jim T for your reply.
I hope we have good weather this weekend so I can fly her and see how it feel.
I found it on eBay and I won it for $18.50. Just did a search on google and found the kit sell for $250.00!!
It was a very smooth build, but not much glue in the high stress area!! I will let everyone know how it flies.
Thank you again for your input and I hope you have some good weather to fly this weekend!!

I've been looking at that one too...
Quick question. Will a Thunderpower (or similar) 6S5000mA pack fit inside for an EP version or is there too much framing in the way???

Hello Efliernz;

Here are a few picture of the inside of the fashion 50 fuselage. You can see how much space you can work with. The manual say it can take a 40 size 2-cycle or a 52 size 4-cycle engine. My flying weight is at 5.9 lbs. I did get one flight on it this past weekend and I must say it fly great!!! The takeoff was great. I add power and about 4 to 5 feet, she was in the air!! I did not have much time to rip into her, but I can say the slow fight is so cool. I think this will make a great 3D ship. Landing is so sweet!! When you take the power off, it will slow down for a very soft landing. I hope to have more time this weekend to rip into her.
I hope these picture help, and if you need more, just let me know!!

Thanks for that. It won't fit :(

I'm eyeing this beast up at the moment as as I said, I have the packs and a 50-sized motor in stock. SebArt Angel S Evo 50E by designer Sebastiano Silvestri
Wing Span 62.6 in, Length 65.4 in , Weight 77.4 oz

I just need more time. Nearly finished equipping 3 helis with camera gear/video downlinks so we have the best tool for the job without overkill. Then I get back to what I used to fly...

Please post picture when you pickup one!!
Thanks!!
