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.
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.
