The Voodoo pylon racer is probably the most complete and highest quality model we sell. It certainly looks the fastest, and may well be the speediest. The Voodoo is beautifully constructed, with an absolutely outstanding finish, attention to detail, and quality of design. The Voodoo is also blazingly fast, with its strong high aspect ratio wing, short nose (allowing heavier motors), large battery compartment, and excellent aerodynamic design.




The Voodoo flies exactly where you point it and is a very good first racer. With a hot setup the model can easily reach 260 Km/hr (160 mph) or more.

 

The perfectly molded glass fuselage has carbon reinforcement and the firewall, fin, and tailplane already fitted. The firewall already has the motor mounting holes drilled (on a 16mm PCD) and the ready-hinged elevator has the horn molded in, with a ball link fitted.


Voodoo servo mounting and wing construction

The flawless molded wing has a carbon spar, with gap sealed ailerons, and aileron torque rods installed. These have the balls secured on the end of the arms, to engage in the supplied control rod hardware, and ensure a totally slop free and geometrically correct linkage to the two aileron servos. This allows the ailerons to be drooped for landing, allowing the model to be landed easily at a reasonably low speed. The wing skin is a very rigid glass/balsa/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.

 

The Voodoo is supplied with very high quality accessories including superb pushrods with ball links, and a clever mount for the elevator servo to easily facilitate installation in the rear of the fuselage. The only work required is fitting the motor and RC. The only gluing required is attaching the aileron servos. The racer can be completed in one or two lazy evenings.
