OMPHobby Challenger - A 46 inch balsa sporty, combat, trainer PNP airplane?

[TJ_Williams]

No, I'm not really sure what to call it, yes, it's all of those things.

Earlier this week we went out and did a bunch of recording. Here's the first of a few videos to come out of that!

Receiver ready for UNDER $200 ! We get the guys together and go fly some new OMP products. The Challenger was a nice surprise with how well a new airplane pilot could handle it on low rates and equally surprising for how well Donnie was able to rip it around! We say 49 inch in the video, but it's 46!

PNP Version with
Sunnysky 2820 1100kv motor
Eolo 12x6.5 prop
Eolo 40amp ESC
3s 2200mah 35c battery recommended

@TJ_Williams Do you have quads to keep up with that bad boy? Im guessing that was ripping in the 80+ range at times. Possibly over 100 on the running starts.

If you dont I can loan you TAZ.. It is proven to run straight line at 140+ mph. I suspect the redo of the Mach 1 is closer to 150 mark with the Gabby Chavez motors on it should I man up and put 5050 bi blades on it to actually test it.

Hey now... there was a gate in the way... I just watched the footage of that again last week.

 

[TJ_Williams]

baaaahahahahahaha I actually just told the guys I wanted to make a LOS quad using the motor/prop combo the Challenger has. Maybe one day I'll convince them to let me build something stupid again lol.

I was thinking a LOT BIGGER than that...
Like these Sunnysky 8030S KV100 and some 32" props....


Just sayin'

You do remember we are discussing multi rotors and not Tesla Cyber trucks right?

Well..... I did allow him some xtra space for the gates. The props recommended go up to 36", so by using 32", he has a little more space to avoid the gates....

LOLOL I did NOTHING work/hobby related this weekend. This thread was great to open this morning. And you know I feel welcomed
I do want to do a remake of the giant drone! It feels less 'cool' since so many run the bigger racers now though lol.

And yeah the new planes are available on pre-order on the ohiomodelproducts.com (ohiomodelplanes.com) website. When they're here and released I'll have them on buddyrc.com too. Everything is in a container heading our way. Expected to land mid to late september with a second container right behind it.

I tried to pre-order one of the challengers over the weekend, but it won't let you. Missing parameter or something like that. Same thing today... Looking for a RED one....

TJ,
So still no pre-order option.... Still looking for a RED one. I've seen the challenger pop up on a few u-toob unboxing vids... Any ETA on when the pre-order will be up?

Cheers!
