I talked James (our foam cutter) into a production run of Roswells.
He doesn't care if they are the 30" swept or the 36" wingspan. He says that because of the way the cutters work and the size and shape of the foam required he has to cut 12 of them per run and will do the cut when we get 8 commitments.
The Roswell flies well with the same motor, prop, ESC, battery and servos as the Assassin.
Email us if you are interested and we will see if we have enough people who respond to do a production run. Cost will be $70 plus shipping. Price includes laminate but read more before deciding if you are going to use the laminate.
The first reason we stopped cutting the Roswell was because the post office was charging twice as much as it did for other boxes of the same weight because of the box shape. So we have started cutting the wing into 4 sections and sending it in an Assassin box which doesn't affect the way the plane flies but it will require the wing sections to be glued back together.
Also: When we laminate the Roswell we had to put the motor on the nose in order to get it to balance. We are sending laminate with the kit for those who want to put a front motor on the kit, but the laminate makes the Roswell tail heavy with the mid motor design and we had customers who couldn't get it to balance without adding a lot of nose weight when laminated.
The Roswell flies best when it is light weight and not laminated. My favorite build was with the light build with the mid-motor set up. See the old videos below.
The Roswell is one of the most maneuverable wings out there. When built light it will harrier or fly with the nose up at a very slow forward speed. Watch the videos below.
The size and solid EPP foam construction give it some power for combat hits, and the included shock cord protects it from damage on impact. Yet its fully symmetrical design means it’s always stable right side up or upside down, even doing outside loops until the battery dies, or making aggressive or evasive maneuvers.
The motor and prop are fully protected in the interior of the wing, and you can slow right down for easy park flying. It’s a great platform to take almost any abuse a new flyer can give it, yet acrobatic enough to delight the experienced flyer. It also flies well with the motor on the front.
The Roswell was designed to use the same motor, ESC and servos as the Assassin, Widowmaker, Albatross and Pelican so you don’t have to get a lot of different sized motors, props and ESCs to fly a variety of our planes.
