e-flites 4-site 250 arf profile bi plane.

Pictures of the e-flite 4-site and some videos













lets talk about the e-flite 250 arf 4-site profile bi plane. This plane comes in a kit, but has been discontinued. My kit came with all hardwere, and the depron plane itself. No electronics. This build was fairly easy & only took a few hours. The depron is very brittle so caution should be used when handling it. If you look at it wrong - it will break. All the pieces in my kit fit together nicely & in the end came out very straight. You need to work on a very flat surface & when gluing parts together, make sure to put down wax paper or something similiar so you do not glue your plane to the work surface. I used the following electronics which were recomended by the manufacturer. I installed an e-flite park 250 brushless outrunner motor with a weight of about 14grams, a thunderbird 9amp brushless speed controller at about 8-9grams, I used 3 e-flite S60 supersub micro servos which is a 6gram servo. The manufacturer suggested battery size was a 350mah-2cell, 7.4 volt lipo - I used a thunder power prolite v2, 480mah, 7.4 volt 2cell lipo. I am also using a 430mah, 2cell & both work very well. I am using a spectrum dx-6 transmitter with ar6000 spectrum reciever. I have flown this plane a few times trying out the different size air brakes. The kit comes with 2 sizes - large & medium. This plane is meant for indoor flying but I've been flying outside on calm days with the medium air brakes. Out of all of my planes, this plane has quickly become one of my favorites.

park zone makes some reall nice flying planes.The typhoon,the typhoon.2,the strykers,and many more.The only problem is with there ready to fly versions.The remote systems are not that good.I purchased a typhoon 2 ready to fly ,did range test that went fine.But sure enough it glitched with magor results.I bought more parts and tryed again at diferent park this time ,only to have the same thing happen again.!!I then realized the importance of a glitch free system as an investment ,to save my planes and money on crashes that werent my fault.Friends I fly with have allso had this problem who have bought ready to fly.I ended up with a spectrum DX6 system that has been great .NO glitching.So know when I crash I know its my fault.Again the best investment you can make.Vidios below show typhoon in action with specrtum system
