We expierenced a fatal anomoly while conducting futhur testing on our DC-9-10 depron EDF jet. After some analyzing of the video, it seems the pilot put the plane in an accidental stall while executing a foward-slip.
A new DreamFactory jet will be built soon!

As well as 3D foamies and pattern planes, The DreamFactory also focuses on the rarely-touched subject of airliners. Our website manager (Ethan)is currently working on a 1/20 scale 60'' long DC-9-15 in Hawaiian colors.
Keenan (CEO) is also in the design process of a 1/22 scale Boeing 777-300ER.
The DF can make any custom airliner to order!
Review: Flyrace Dolphin - C F3P

Well i am Beta Testing this plane for flyrace of China
the plane is called the Dolphin - C F3P
the Specs Are as follows:
Span: 852mm
Length: 935mm
Weight: 120-150g RTF
Price: *Unkown at this moment in time*
Required Equipment:
2x 5g Servos
1x 9g servo
1x 4 channel Reciever
a 200-400mah 2S Lipo
a 6A ESC
and a 1084-2204 Brushless outrunner
Stated build time 2hrs
Actual Construction of this plane from box to Build was around 2-3hrs
the manual was Great, lots of pictures and very little ching-lish, there was also plenty of carbon...( i had enough leftover to re-enforce the nose)
it also comes with these handy little guides that ensure the Fuse is built Sraight and level, thus when combined with the slot together *and Glue* construction Technique
Makes for a Rather Easy build
Pictures:
this plane is very light, so i will need to limiit my throttle otherwise i'd have a 5:1 power to weight ratio on a 2204 motor an 8 inch prop
a Leftward front view showing the Wing bracing bracing
a few things that i didn't like however was that, the paint chipped to easily... (only cosmetic), the landing gear was a little too Flimsy and Bends a little too much for my liking (under the load of 3 servos, a 370mah 2S lipo and an Rx), the ailerons Warp to much at around half - Full Deflection ..
and that the was not Quite enough Pull Pull Wire
However Flyrace has Told me that Due to the model i recieved being a Pre-Production Model, He Can assure me that he will include more Pull-Pull Line in the Production models as well as Thicker Carbon for the landing legs and some carbon to Stiffen the Ailerons (as they are prone to Warping)
I will upload a flight video When my electronics arrive and i have installed them onto the plane
Until then Keep an eye Out..
