Element 3.5 meter, TopModel

[Konrad]

I was digging around the Topmodel site and found what I said I was hoping they would do. That Is Topmodel would use the fine fuselage they have on the Samsara elsewhere, that is grow the options available for the fuselage. And they look to be doing just that with the introduction of the Element 3.5 meter entry level F5J glider.

I know this is putting the cart in front of the horse as I've yet to finish the Samsara. But I'd like to know if Aloft is planing on getting these from the up coming production run. It looks like they are still a month or so out.

I'm thinking I'll need to budget, heck who am I kidding, get one of these Element 3.5 meter ARC.

It looks to have a bit more dihedral and the carbon leading edge might give her a bit more duribility. The longer wings can't be bad 3.5m vs 3.2m for the Samsara.

Please RCGroups stop this , my sides are hurting far too much from laughing so hard!

Jim T (AKA Jim T Graham) have you even seen one let alone flown one? Please stop regurgitating company press releases. Your membership deserves an honest appraisal of the product.

Take a look at firms like Aloft Hobbies has done. Wayne has allowed, actually encouraged, posts in detail about a similare model the Samsara. In the thread you will find on Aloft's Forum is honest (something RCG is not known for) and matter of fact as to what one would find upon assembling and flying the TopModels Samsara.

Jim (RCG) give honesty a try!

All the Best,
Konrad
