Durafly Curtiss P-40N Warhawk 1100mm (PNF)
Anyone listening to the Afterhours Podcasts will know I've been waiting for this plane a long time.
When HobbyKing accounted more production delays back in the spring I all but gave up on the plane and opt'd to buy a used Dynam Fw 190 1200mm. A nice plane but I've had my share of issues landing it.
The P-40 was finally released in August but sold out immediately. And I was also eyeing the E-Flite P-47 with AS3X.
Nice plane with a solid history from Parkzone and E-Flite but the P-40 came back into stock and I decided how better to celebrate my 40th birthday then with a P-40N. I'm not allowed to build it till next week but I will do a full technical inspection later this evening when I get home
I was rather happy to discover that Canada did fly the P-40N.
Curtiss P-40 Warhawk - Royal Canadian Air Force
I might have to try and match the decals as closely as possible. PS the date is super awesome.
Gear:
I'll be running a FrSky D8R-II PLUS 2.4Ghz 8CH Receiver with Telemetery.
Batteries will be Turnigy nano-tech A-SPEC G2 2200mah 3S 65~130C Lipo Pack and
ZIPPY Flightmax 1800mAh 4S1P 40C
But I plan to order some ZIPPY Compact 2200mAh 4s 40c Lipo Pack as they will run well in the P-40 and a certain Spitfire MK1 Durafly announced earlier this week.
Stay tuned for my reactions later this evening.
