DURAFLY DH100 Vampire V3
Radio-Controlled Planes for RC Pilots
Overview
This third version of the Durafly DH 100 Vampire follows on from its predecessors to deliver a fantastic even better version of this popular EDF jet. We have added many more improvements so that the best has got even better. These new improvements include, additional carbon-fiber reinforcement, simplified and lighter landing gear struts, improved ducting and thrust pipe for increased performance, plastic nose for added protection, and plastic retract mount fairings.
This version of the Vampire DH100 is finished in an RAF camouflage color scheme, VX474 was an FB5 model of No 118 Squadron based at RAF Fassberg, Germany, in 1953, the yellow bands on the wings were Squadron markings, not training bands. Being one of the Air Force's first-ever jet fighters (the first to have a single jet engine), the Vampire had an outstanding performance and graceful lines, the pilots loved it. This Durafly version captures the graceful lines of this early jet fighter beautifully.
Under the hatch, the Vampire V3 has also been updated with an Aerostar 60A RVS G2 ESC, which can offer reverse thrust for braking when landing on tarmac/asphalt runways. The impressive 2836 3300KV brushless motor has been retained, as has the efficient 70mm fan unit, and the high-quality 9g servos. The Vampire V3 is made from tough EPO foam which is superbly finished in the painted camouflage scheme and also has factory-applied decals. As well as looking the part, it's easy to assemble, and the EDF unit, ESC, servos, retracts, and struts are all pre-installed at the factory.
