prangster 3d

[sparky2006]

hi all has anyone ever flown a prangster 3d, i am thinking off getting one, only ever flown electric foamy models and helis, but want something a bit bigger aerobatic and hard to break, also need to take off from rough land ish, not sure if you can hand launch one or not???, it say a 52 size engine max, can you fit a four stroke at all if so what size

thanks

We've had a couple of these at our club. One was fitted with a Saito 80 (I think) 4 stroke - went quite well and could be visibly seen to deform in flight! :ack2: We have another which has an Irvine 40 2 stroke (I think) in it and it has more than enough grunt. Yes they can be hand launched.

They're pretty indestructable and good value for money. Hardly the bestest flying things out there but cheap and cheerful fun.

We all have these at our club and are by far one of the most fun flyers to have, where they lack good looks that more then make up for it as a jack of all trades machine, you can bring them in hard and they just bounce, I fly mine with an AR500 RX, Irvine 46, it offers all the grunt you'll ever need with Model Technics 10% and a load of servos like the Futuba 3001's will have her going mental in no time.

With the 3D version the rudder is far to large so try cutting it in half then when going straight fast it wont flap, some do some dont, I changed mine to the sport model and it works just fine at fast speeds.

Plus coating it in self stick film helps with cleaning, far better then trying to remove oil off glass tape, plus aids orentation when in flight.

Hope some of this helps buddy. :)
