This F86 is one of the smallest worldwide available fan models, if you wouldn't know it better, you would think that it is only a display model.
In difference to the up to date micro jets, this F86 does not have any stabilization features.

Shipping:
You'll receive a box of the size of an usual personal computer. The F86 is built up completely and there is no risk that something could get damaged.
My Setup:
Build up:
The F86 will be shipped als PNP version, so there are no more works except to put in the receiver and add 5gr. weight to the Canopy on the most forward position to get the correct CoG.
Flight characteristics:
This F86 is everything else then easy to fly because of the lack of power.
You can see this the most during the take off, you have to throw her very powerful but she will still fall down a little bit until she gets enough speed for safe climbing.
In flight she is so beatiful, but that is already everything.
Rolls can only be done with enough speed and much pushing during upside down and loops are only for the braves. The strength of this model is definitely the scale look a like and the minimal size during a low pass.
There is no stabilization system inside, so you can only fly her when it is absolutely windstill, even the smallest breeze does with the 100gr. whatever it wants. The battery is covered very good, thats also a reason why I'm flying her only in the winter when there are the really windstill days.
Landing isn't a problem, just take back the throttle and let her crash crash controlled. She is gliding like a stone and even the smallest blade of grass is enough for a noseover every time, but she is build strong enough, so that is not a problem.
