Here's a new model design (with old roots!) in the development stages! The airplane is called the Hot Hots 3D and is a direct descendant of the Mega Popular Hots fun fly airplane designed by past Model Airplane News editor, Dan Santich...
The construction article is coming from Dan's hot-pilot son Steven Santich, who has added electric power to the Hot Hots 3D. This son of a son of a son of a legendary model design has unbelievable power equipped with a Kontronics 500 or 600 brushless motor. With the 500 pulling 830watts / 45amps it turns a 14x7 prop with ease and it weighs only 4 pounds ready to go! With the 600 motor, and the same 14x7 prop you get 1125 watts and 50.3 amps the 600 size setup give you a flying weight of 5 1/2 pounds!
MOre info on this Hot Hots 3D as things develop!
Watch for a construction article in a fututre issue of Model Airplane News !
