Hi ,

Specification:

 Length: 55 "
 Weight: 5.5 - 5.75 lbs.
 Engine: .40 - .46 2-Cycle

Though originally a Glow Plane I converted it to electric with the following Power Set up
Specs  as follows :

Motor : RCFORALL DY 4130/6T
ESC   : RCFORALL DY 80 amps with external BEC
Battery : 2 x 11.1 4200 RCFORALL DY Lipo batteries

I  forgot to take the camera and Saju was down with fever  so no Photos or Video this week  >:(

The plane looks exactly like this TT Photo just to give you an Idea .

It flies great  and is one of the best aerobatic plane we have flown till today very agile and nimble and is very graceful in flight.

I did not realize that this plane is a rare beauty till I searched on you tube for a Video and found only 1 Video of the Imagine 50 .
This is the only one I could find  .

This plane is a real beauty  hope to be the second person on You tube to post a Video of this beauty.

She is very stable on invert  roll or loop  as you see in this video

The electric  power set up is a bit of  over powering but is great on this bird .
