winchweight Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 As it says really. I have been offered an ASP61FS powered Jamara FW190 and need to make a decision soon. But before I do, what do you think of this model? Have you got or seen one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I've got the jamara Spit, and have to say for a FART ( as my mate calls ARTFs ) it is prettty good, flies good too Not sure about the span /weight of the F Wulf but my spit is circa 8lbs+ and needs all of its 91 FS....thinking the 61 may be a little marginal ?

winchweight Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Cheers Tim. He says he's flown it a couple of times on the 61, but I'll go and have a look this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well I bought it. £125 for an almost unflown airframe, an ASP61FS which still needs to be fully run in, all Futaba 9001 servos fitted and a single Hitec retract servo. Not bad I think?The model looks great except for one thing. The cowl...... IT'S RIDICULOUSLY LOUD and hideous. Anyone got a better scheme in mind (just for the cowl) the fuselage is very nice, with panel lines etc, and not as cartoonish as it appears in the photos)?

David Ashby - Moderator Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Not a common model Shaun, not one I've come across, looks nice enough though David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm quite pleased. It's got a few knuckles to sort out, but should be flying friday night (weather permitting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Oh my god ISWYM about the cowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 It's hideous isn't it. I've seen a few pics of the real thing and it somehow looks a lot less gaudy. I'll have a think about it once I've flown it. Should be easy to see though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
