Rob C and Martin D

Rob C.... Good looking, highly experienced radio control flyer. Martin D.... 40'ish, middle age spread kicking in. Motto "You build it, i'll fly it" UPDATE - Martin prob 50s and gone AWOL

Fosa Space Lift

 
Its a Pitbull 1 Fuz, with Fosa Space Lift wings and tails... what the feck does that mean? Who cares, it flies like a hopped up supercharged turbo bunny!

     3.2 meter wingspan, seriously high aspect ratio and stiffer than a meat rod in a cheer leaders sweat box.

 
Some high voltage things in there and in the wings

                                                                   Yellow nose must mean its fast right?

                                                                            More high voltage thingies

 
Not quite got Sambas carbon layup skills but pretty sexy

                                                                     Long... longgggg wings!

 

Since Malcolm got his Fosa Lift i was so impressed with the shear presence in the air, as well as the speed i had to find something similar, chance encounter with Gromit a well known flyer had me this in the bag.

Ive not had this glider very long, but already it has my fastest F3F time and second fastest in a comp. Its so elegant, not as agile as the Pitbull but does things that make you look good. Martin (who incidentally has gone missing) said about his Fosa that it made an average pilot look good... and hes right, the Fosa Lift wing carry's so much energy and are seriously stiff! I secretly fondle it, polish it and when nobody is looking lick it. Great for the days when wide open turns are required, beautiful for slightly cross wind comps where you need to carry the energy through. Or for some great sport flying on thermic days or lazy cross country. 

Only nasty is the high speed flick, pull to hard without enough energy and this bitch will slap your face, not quite as hard as the Mrs when she finds out how much you paid for it... i'm still hiding the bruises.

If you can get hold of one do it... more versatile then a Pitbul and not quite as 2 dimensional however still has that Baudis lack of emotional intelligence like the PBs. lastly eats up ballast like a fat kid eating a McDonalds.
