ME 163 Komet Manual:
Turnigy Nano Tech 2200mAh 4s 45~90c LiPo:
The Me 163 was the worlds first and only rocket powered fighter, it offered performance that was completely unheard of in the 1940s, achieving a maximum recorded speed of 698mph during testing. The Komet also had an unheard of rate of climb, it was designed as a rapid response interceptor and was able to climb to 39,000ft in 3 minutes but only had fuel for a few passes with its 30mm Cannons before the Me 163 became a glider making it vulnerable to attack from Allied Fighters. This truly amazing and ground breaking Aircraft could be very dangerous to fly, although most accidents were related to the volatile rocket fuel and take off/landing accidents. Although it can be considered a failure in operational terms, the Me 163 was a truly amazing aircraft, little wonder it has so many fans!
This superbly detailed Komet is made from super tough EPO foam and requires little assembly, the servos, powerful brushless inrunner motor and ESC are all pre-installed, leaving you to simply glue on the wings and vertical stabilizer, charge you battery and fly! The scale detail is simply brilliant, with its specially designed spinner, panel lines and extensive scale decals, it really looks the part. The paint scheme is also excellent for orientation and given the very high performance of the Komet, it needs to be! Other features include CF re-nforced wings/ailerons and a plastic landing skid.
Like the full size aircraft, this Me 163 offers truly mind bending performance, the powerful Brushless motor has 1kw of power on offer, unheard of in a plug and fly prop driven foam model, especially a scale foam model! With its ultra-high level of scale detail, wide flight envelope and extreme performance, the Me 163 is a must for scale fans AND speed freaks!
