SHARK-E 27"
span "Retro"sport model
"Proving to be
very popular! , be the first in your club to have your
own Shark"
This is our tribute to the great 60's design by Eric
Clutton. We call this a "Retro Sport" model with
character and performance courtesy of the latest economy
outrunner motors. The prototype was fitted with an
economy "bell" motor and has been flown on a variety of
battery packs from Ni-Cd to Li-Po. with around 100-120
watts available and all up weight of weight of 12-15
ounces (850mAh-1800mAh lipo pack) there is no surprise
the SHARK-E will fly very happily on 1/3 throttle
with great authority and stability despite it's small
size. The fuselage is actually very spacious to aid
installation of the recommended 9grm servos for aileron
and elevator. The flight battery is accessed from the
bottom of the model as with all our designs. This
enables easy battery changes and enables the pack to
"leave" the model with quickly without causing damage
should the inevitable unscheduled landing occur!
If you have seen the March RCME Nigel Hawes has
suggested a great mod to the model:- the tail plane can
be fitted with a couple of screws instead of glue. This
makes the whole model easily transportable in a small
box! Not unlike our other popular model the "Elite" ,
absolutely ideal to take with you on holiday!
The kit is CNC cut for accurate self jigging build which
takes a couple of evenings, detail instructions take you
though the build process which will not be a problem for
any modeller who has done a little building and wants
something a little different to all the ARTF foamy
models at the club site! Decorated with eyes and teeth
the
SHARK-E
looks a real
hooligan of a model but is really very easy to fly fast
or slow. the large fin and cartoon looks make it very
visible and it actually feels like a much bigger model
to fly.
Anyone who flew the original will want this electrified
tribute, anyone who wants to do a little traditional
modelling and have fun will find it hard to find a
better model at a better price.
