This page is where we list the designs we've coughed up, either current or defunct
Wizard SE (formally Wizard V6)
Introducing the mighty Wizard shockflier!
The first interation of this design harks back to 2008, since then there have been over 6 different evolutions, all improving on the last one.
The culmination is version 6, or simply the SE. Massive control surfaces ensure maximum response at any speed, a novelty size rudder in particular means KE loops are a dream. The smaller than average wingspan lends it's self to a faster, heavier flying aircraft. Which is exactly how we like it, preferring to fly our Wizards from 160-180 grams instead of the usual 150g.
Even though the design has more or less settled for the time being, we still continue to tweak this or that. In the the picture to the left you can clearly see carbon in the tail surfaces and alierons that has actually been in-laid. Up front is a VPP unit for some reverse thrust mentalism.
Plans available on request free of charge.
Snap (or Sunny Spaceballs)
Conceived, designed, built, flown,crashed, redesigned and rebuilt in less than 10 days! The Snap was intended for a club funfly competition that got cancelled...so we gave the model a proper send off by flying it into a floodlight at the British Freestyle Championships in 2009.
One of the few funflies we know that can actually knife edge (badly), a stand out feature is that the wing ribs are made from 6mm depron. The next iteration designed (but not built) would've used 3mm depron ribs to bring weight down further. Will the model make a return? Who can say for sure...
Sorcerer
The Sorcerer is our very own F3P design, which was concieved in order to compete at the 2011 BMFA Electric Indoor Masters competition. We wanted something a bit bigger and slower than current designs, and in true URC fashion we completely over did it.
The result was a frankly massive shockflier that flew slower than walking pace. With a ready to fly weight of around 140 grams we proved it was possible to build such a large aircraft light, but also proved it isn't necessarily the best route to take! Stiffness was difficult to achieve and the aircraft was a bit bizzare to fly. However there were some good core traits so we might scale it down a bit for the 2011 competition, watch this space!
Below is a shot of the model during and after CAD (computer aided design), there is also watch a video of the model in action.
