The new Escale Waco is a
state-of-the-art brushless motor-powered
4-channel scale aircraft (electric rc airplane) available as a fully-equipped model including 2.4gHz
R/C or as a nearly fully-equipped model without Transmitter or receiver.
Flying
At 39" span this is most definitely not a small, twitchy model. In the
air or on the ground, handling is impeccable, smooth and entirely suitable for
newcomers.
Even taxi-ing is well-mannered with none of the taildragger nastiness sometimes
found in scale models. Open the throttle and you can be off the deck in just
a few feet and then throttled back for a slow and lazy circuit in front of your
fellow pilots. Approach and landings are as solid as mom's apple pie - you won't
get any fluffiness on approach here!
We've had loads of fun flying barnstormer-style close to terra firma and have
been very impressed too with the smooth brushless power delivery that makes
consecutive loops a breeze. With standard throws, rolls are classically long
and lazy, but increase the aileron throw and things are still predictable -
just more lively!
If you pass the transmitter around down at the flying field; be prepared to
wait a while to get it back!
What you get
Standard equipment in the RTF model includes 5-channel Escale 2.4gHz
R/C, brushless 1000kv motor, 20A ESC, 2 propellers, 11.1V lipo, power
supply and charger.
Just charge the lipo, spend 1/2 an hour to bolt the model together, purchase
a set of 8 AA batteries and you're away.
So treat yourself to a real piece of oldtimer action for the Spring - built
and equipped with the latest 2.4gHz-brushless-lipo new-timer technology!
