Flight Line PlansTM : Sports Aerobatic
Flight Line Plans are a well-respected producer of electric R/C and free flight aeroplane plans. Designs are available in several categories: Micro Models, SmartDarts, Flying Wings, Sports Aerobatic, Vintage and Trainers. Flight Line Plans also intend to make some of their designs available as part or complete kits: the first of the full kits is RoundOne; the partial kits and kit packs are listed here.
Tango is a 55” (1400mm) span full house sports plane capable of the classical aerobatic pattern manoeuvres. As with other Flight Line Plans' models you will find that Tango flies exceptionally well and is capable of all the standard pattern type loops, rolls, spins and knife-edge flight rather than 3D manoeuvres.
The model is powered by a Scorpion 4025-10 or Hyperion 4025/10 motor driving a 12"x10" prop, supplied from a 5S1P 3700 mAh or larger Lipo battery. 2.4Ghz radio used on the prototype (Futaba Faast) proving that problems of electrical interference can be avoided.
Flight times are in the 10 minutes range and the all up weight is only 2.5Kg. Construction is entirely balsa and ply covered with Profilm or similar. The pictures ('More Images' tab) illustrate the prototype Tango showing the light, built up construction, which has proved to be robust and durable flying off grass.

Something unusual from the Flight Line Plans wizards. Dazzle is 19.5" (495mm) span aerobatic design with exciting performance and unconventional controls. Paul, the designer, wanted to be a little radical with this model and incorporated a taileron control system. If you haven't tried this concept before give it a try, you will certainly be surprised.
Dazzle is powered either by one of the diminutive 10g brushless outrunner motors or the slightly more powerful C18-15-17 motor driving 5" or 4" props supplied by a 2S 300mAh LiPo battery. Radio is ideally the Spektrum AR6300 or a micron 35MHz receiver (e.g. Corona RS410II or Blue Arrow R3P5) along with a pair of micro servos operating the tailerons and an ESC rated at 6A or 10A. Flight times can be in the 14 minutes range and the all up weight is around 97 grams. Construction is entirely in balsa and covered with SoLite.
As with other Flight Line PlansTM models, it is remarkable how well this model fliws on around 30 - 50 watts of power and, despite its size, it fields in a very spirity sportingly aerobatics fashion. Dazzle is capable of all rolling an loopiing manoevres and inverted flight.

Image has its heritage from the smaller Focus plan and has proved to offer just as nimble performance. Several people have commented that is seems to have the look of a Wot 4. Whilst that was never the intention, Flight Line Plans are flattered that it could be considered in such fine company.
The very convenient size model offers good aerobatic performance and additionally incorporates 2 wing servos to allow flap function for landing.
All balsa construction incorporating a very strong wing design provides the builder with some pleasurable construction sessions. Take a look Simon's build thread on RC Groups.

Focus is a 30" 15oz sport aerobatic model capable of most four channel aerobatics. Designed for a 2212 series brushless motor and three li-polys, this model pulls vertical with ease and it will knife-edge the length of your field.
The model features full house control, and a servo for each aileron allowing flaps to be mixed in for really slow landings or simply flying backwards in a breeze.

Sprite is a 22" 6oz precision pattern type aerobatic model. With a power loading of 200W/lb point this model in any direction and watch it go! All non 3D aerobatic manoeuvres are possible even large knife edge loops for those who dare. Sprite has proved to be a very popular model and its performance has convinced even the toughest IC flyers to have a go.

The 'ME109 Park Fighter' is a 22" 5oz semi scale WW2 fighter. Capable of aileron and elevator aerobatics this model is guaranteed to get peoples attention. Great fun to chase your friends around the sky in pretend combat and looks the part too.
The model is built from balsa wood in a conventional manner. A choice of motor options available, suggest either a GWS IPS motor or for real performance a CDROM brushless motor.
