Go Fast, Fly Hard, Have Fun! |
48-3/8 in. span, 29 in. long, 251 sq. in. wing area, 30 oz. flying weight. Are you ready for 120+ MPH? Dago Red can take you there with its sleek design and included motor. Flies like a sport plane at low throttle settings and goes wherever you point it. Full power will put you in the 120MPH+ speed range, so be ready to turn. Spoilerons can be used on capable radios to slow down for landings, but don't expect it to float like a parkflyer. You need to know what you're doing with this plane. EXPERIENCED PILOTS ONLY!
The fuselage is fiberglass with carbon fiber reinforcements and the wings are foam core and sheeted with obechi wood. You'll appreciate the fine details such as the gapless pre-hinged ailerons and the laser cut elevator servo tray that screws into place.
Included in the box is a 2600KV BL Inrunner motor, and an aluminum spinner. All you need to provide is 3 servos, a 45A ESC, a 4.75x4.75 prop, and a 3S 2100mAH Lipo pack. You can be ready to fly in as little as 2 hours. 3 channel controls are ailerons, elevator, and throttle.
Note: This aircraft is a performance aircraft. It requires intermediate to advanced modeling skills to assembly and fly. The battery area is extremely tight for a 3S 2100mAh LiPo and you likely will not be able to swap out batteries easily without modification to the battery opening. It is best to have a dedicated flight battery that remains in the plane for charging.

My Dago Red arrived at my door in three days with standard groung shipping. The packaging was designed nicely and no damage was present on my model. The first check I made was to bolt the predrilled / mounted wing to the fuselage to check the alignment. Here's our first large problem. Measuring from the right wing tip to TE of verticle stab. is 29 3/8", the left side measures 30"! That's 5/8"....wow.....return or rework is required here. I was going to return the plane, but changed my mind. I'll fix it. After some closer looks, it appears the center trim covering(yellow and purple) was not applied on true center of the wing and it appeared the "tech" who mounted the wing just roughly lined it up with the center trim and drilled it. Not trying to bad mouth anyone, this is the only way I can see the alignment being this bad, and the holes were centered on the trim and NOT the wing. Anyway after removing the inserts from the fuse, potting the holes closed and redrilling I have a nice, robust, 120 mph airframe. The ailerons required minor sanding to free them up. If yours are stiff, carefully bend them up till they lay flat on top of the wing and sand the exposed hinge line carefully with 120 grit sanding block till they are free. Mine had some of the wing sheeting protruding into the beveled are af hinge line. The only other thing I did was cut my own control horns from thin carbon fiber sheet, didn't like the ones that came with the kit. Haven't flown the plane at this time so no flight test data at this time.
If you don't mind doing the required rework for a straight airframe, or if you don't mind your plane doing a barrel roll when you apply elevator, the Dago Red Sport Pylon Racer should satisfy you just fine.
