Rafale 80 mm: Airshow outfit!

So, Yann Moindrot himself tested the FMS 80mm EDF Rafale. On seven pages, it details the kit, its assembly, its features and of course, the flight of this "flagship" of the FMS EDF powered aircrafts range.

If he emphasizes the quality of the design and manufacture, he regrets a small lack of power, mainly to take off from grass runways with all the loads under the wings. On a concrete runway, no problem! But certainly, once in flight, the flagship of Dassault Aircraft range does the job in its "Tiger Meet 2013" decor!

Some extracts from the article:

  • It's hard to be more flashy than this bright yellow airframe, stealth can go to hell! The wings are each equipped with two control surfaces: an elevon and a flap articulated by real hinges connected to 13 g servos ...
  • The fuselage is a beautiful piece over 1.20 m long ...
  • Express assembly
  • Clearly visible lighting
  • The master piece for this model is the machined aluminum landing gear ...
  • The main landing gear doors are controlled by separate servos and a sequencer module, to also close when the gear is down.
  • An electronic board controls all the functions: the delta / flaps / canards mixing, lighting, landing gear and sequencing of the doors.
  • The jet makes a strong impression on the ground… It will be just as beautiful in the air…
  • Rolls turn in the axis very quickly, in less than a second per revolution ...
  • The loops can be very tight by pulling unceremoniously ...
