<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Correct Jaz is suppose to be flying Electric
models..... The model from what I have heard is a composite Rhapsody...not the
Harrison design but another model produce in Germany...This model is similar to
a Smaragd type from the pictures I have seen. Its a composite model like the
Angel's shadows....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These are not the first electrics to be flown in
F3A at the worlds...but they might be the first ones that are competitive and
are adapted from a current F3A model....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had the privilege to watch Quique fly an Electric
"3D" funfly plane at the Southeast Electric Flight Festival. It was rather
impressive. This was by no means a 2M pattern model it was similar in size to
the older 120 designs...around 9lbs flying.... The model was built by Peter
Goldsmith.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The model is the Carrera E...and is really setup to
be a Artistic Aero model but with the power it had and the performance there is
no doubt it was capable of the F3A sequences. Quique was doing many of the eye
catching Unknown maneuvers like the 1 roll loops from the bottom upright and
inverted entry....The 1.5 snap on 45 up.....and so on...It was very impressive
what I saw.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the equipment this is all pretty new stuff
and they have done some extensive testing with it. The current setup is a 22-12
prop models are in the 10.5lb range...they can get in 2 rounds in per charge on
the Batteries.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just heard from my spy in
Poland. Jason Shulman arrived with an electric pattern
plane.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>42 volt motor, 60 amps. Flying weight of
plane is 10.75 pounds. Prop might be a 20x17.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Very impressive and very quiet.
