CARF Bolt
Radio-Controlled Planes for RC Pilots
Overview
The CARF-Models BOLT builds on an almost 15 year old legacy, the "Lightning". Back in the days that sport jet was a groundbreaking airplane in terms of size, speed, prefabrication and durability. Soon a facelift was introduced, mainly swept back wings with very aerodynamical tips and larger, swept back stab and fin. The "UltraLightning", as it was called from then on, has a top place in the list of fast high performance sport jets of the world.
The CARF-Models BOLT continues to represent this legacy. It features the same, perfectly aerodynamic wing and stab. What has changed is the greatly refined fuselage, featuring some very intresting new ideas, such as the large, easily removable canopy hatch with integrated nose section. A clear canopy with cockpit deck accents the new, perfectly designed lines and shapes of this airplane.
"Form Follows Function" is one saying, which always has been a key element of CARF-Models' designs. And we proudly say that's because we ALWAYS design, produce, fly and market our airplanes ourselves, in-house and together with a constantly growing team. With the Bolt, however, there has been another philosophy deeply followed, and that is: "What looks good, flies good!" Colani, Rutan, Pecorari... they all have proven this to the world. The CARF-Models BOLT had been designed with exactly that philosophy in mind, and boy does that plane look good! And so it flies...
