              VFO (Vertical Flying Object) Sport 3D Aircraft.
                      Park Pilot Program Legal Aircraft
                           For Intermediate Pilots.

FEATURES: Construction: Foam with carbon fiber bracing Ideal for sport, 3D stunts and learning how to hover Oversize control surfaces Plywood motor mount Building Time: Ready to fly in less than an hour Warranty: Great Planes Model Manufacturing Company guarantees this kit to be free from defects in both materials and workmanship at the date of purchase.

INCLUDES: Wing and fuselage panels, carbon rods, doubler sheets, hardware, decal sheet, motor mount and instruction manual

REQUIRES: Radio: 7 channel system (TX-RX) with mixing capabilities, Servos: Four micro with at least 19 oz-in torque ESC: ElectriFly 12A (GPMM1810) Motor: ElectriFly Rimfire Brushless (28-22-1380) GPMG4505 Battery: 11.1V LiPo 300mAh (GPMP0701) Propeller: 9 x 4.7 (APCQ5010)

SPECS: Wingspan: 26.5" (675mm) Wing Area: 382 sq in (24.6 sq dm) Weight: 9 - 10oz (255 - 285g) Wing Loading: 3.4 - 3.8 oz/sq ft (10 - 12 g/sq dm) Length: 29.5" (750mm) Center of Gravity: Mark lines on bottom of wing on both sides of the fuselage 12" (305mm) back from the nose of the fuselage Control Throws- (measured at the widest part) Low Rate High Rate Elevator 3" (76mm) 42° 3-3/4" (95mm) 56° Rudder 2-3/4" (70mm) 38° 3-1/2" (89mm) 51° Ailerons 2-1/2" (64mm) 34° 3" (76mm) 42° COMMENTS: Though the VFO Pogo is basically a four channel airplane, It does require mixing capabilities that you will not find on most four channel radios. For that reason you need a six or seven channel radio with electronic mixes, or the use of connectors to link the two rudder halves and elevator halves. The choice of radio is dependent on the brand of radio you use and its capabilities. The FutabaŽ 7C seven channel radio system is the minimum radio requirement within the Futaba line of radios. Other brands may offer you the required mixes in a six channel radio.
