Riccs Mirage 2000 64mm EDF

My buddy in the flying field got this bird. It does not scale very much, but the black colour somehow attract me. He crash his plane twice and the foam looks pretty strong and does not shattered into micro pieces. Also the airfoil has slight camber and means it should float. TO my surprise, this Mirage flies fast even with 64mm EDF @3s setting.
This one flies much better than the Gaunli Mirage 2000, which has too small control surface.

I do not install the lnding gear in order to reduce drag and let it flies faster.


The ESC and receiver is mounted underneath for easy access. I dig the ESC deep into the inlet duct, to allow more cooling of it.
