RC Kicking Fish [1/4 Scale]
Meant to represent a Remote Control hobby aircraft at one-quarter scale of the original. Some modifications were made to the original Kicking Fish to improve its drag, and further modifications to the this one in order to make it handle properly. This one is armed with 1/4 ordinance as well! We'll call them full-yield fireworks.... Flying Tips: Take-off speed is pretty much anything over 35MPH. With all missiles/bombs, 70% throttle achieves level flight. With no missiles/bombs, 45% achieves level flight. General top-speed is approx 73MPH, cruising speed with level flight can be achieved at about 6% with full trim and autopilot. Lower throttle yields vastly higher fuel efficiency at minimal speed loss. Please note: Some parts have been relocated from their snap-point and so certain modifications will result in them falling off. Primarily this is just the chaff-launchers on the back of the main wings, and the beacon inside the engine.
