Barnesyboy Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Well its all finished and ready to fly bar my lipo conectors, it looks great and as the old saying gose if it looks right it will fly right so ive no doubs it will go well.I`ll fire some more vid/pics up later,Overlander are the Sole Distributor for the new Lander Jets and will be availible through Overlander directly or your nearest Overlander stockest.Not 100% on prices yet as the huge container hasnt arived but your looking at sub £100 for the Hand launch version and then verious prices up to the full ARTF with fan/motor/esc/retracts/doors/light for around £300, dont quote me on that but im sure it will be about thatAs well as the Hunter Lander do a fantastic range of aircraft including F9F Panther, F9F Couger, Raffelle, F16, Mig 15 ........................ with lots more on the drawing board for 2010/11/12 BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Nice one BB, the rainbow Hunter looked good against the dark sky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Allcorn - BritFlight.co.uk Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Just bought a Hunter, started on the build but awaiting parts to arrive - is the Lander 68mm ducted fan the best to use with this or is there a better option? Cheers, Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Depends what you mean by better Bryce. The lander unit propells this along nicely (6s wind motor version ) although I have always thought the lander units were pretty thirsty.I still like good ol Wemotec fans, but the the Lander is purpose made for this model, so I would suggest it is probably "the best".
