THE ROTORMAST V-22 OSPREY VTOL
The V-22 Osprey is quickly becoming the most effective aircraft in the US Marines inventory because of its unique ability to fly as an airplane or as a helicopter. It’s also becoming the Marine pilot’s most popular to fly, because of the exhilarating experience of a conversion. Now you can have that same experience with the fully convertible VTOL Rotormast V-22 Osprey. This painted, exact scale replica of a V-22 Osprey comes with molded-in panel
lines and scale markings making it show quality right out of the box. Several years went into the design of the V-22 to make sure the model performs just like the full scale aircraft at all conversion angles. This model makes use of a custom built electronic processor to manage the flight of the V-22 during hover, transition flight and airplane mode, making it fly like a dream at any conversion angle. The V-22 also uses three gyros to ensure stable and controllable flight with a seamless transition in and out of airplane mode. The ship is built on a profile fuselage, with easily removable scale covers over the body and nacelles for set up and pilot training. This is your opportunity to become part of the most exciting aircraft introduced since the model helicopter 40 years ago. The possibilities are limitless. Please visit at their website. Dealer inquiries are welcome. Specifications: Span, 35 inches (spinner to spinner); blades, 280mm; weight–profile
model with batteries, 5.5 pounds; scale model with batteries–6.0 pounds, flight times, nine minutes. Required equipment: four Hitec 5085mg cyclic servos; motors, two Scorpion 2221-10; two Castle Creations Phoenix Ice Lite 50-amp speed controllers; two 4-cell 2100 mAh 30C batteries; three Futaba 401 or 520 gryos; Rx 7-channel 2.4 GHz; Tx 7-channel helicopter radio.
