If you have its because Greg Tanous has built something cool.
RcSuperheros

Greg Explains:

“Flight characteristics: Stable yet aerobatic. This is due to the low weight to surface area and that it has a high wing like a Piper cub with a low center of gravity. In addition, he has plenty of vertical tail surfaces due to the double side bodies. Also, the RcSuperhero has oversized control surfaces and likes to fly upright. He takes off by being thrown or by standing upright in a stand and lands on his belly skids.”

The RcSuperhero kits are available to purchase for $345. Buy yours on at rcsuperhero.com

Skip to 2:15 to see it take off. This things looks real. I think the lack of flybar helps with the realism.

It is powered by a 14S Lipo.

Let me know what you think. The review commenting system still needs a little work.

Some companies produce Flybarless systems but many of these systems are complex and would also look out of place on a beautiful scale model. So I started doing some research and came across Mikado’s, soon to be realeased, Flybarless systems for both the T-Rex 450 and its smaller brother the T-Rex 250.

The Flybarless heads and conversion systems are scheduled to be released in January next year and I will definitely be one of the first to order a few.

Visit Mikado’s website for more information at Mikado-Heli.de
