CARF Flash

The CARF-Models “Flash” is the answer to the growing demand for a tough mid-sized Sport Jet. Based on the design of our larger "Lightning" is our Flash perfectly sized for the popular 70 -120N engines. 

However, the assembly process of the "Flash" is even further simplified - so that there’s not much left to build at all.

 
Over 1000 satisfied customers (End of 2008) have built a CARF “Flash” and put it through its paces - and they all will confirm one thing: It’s so easy to build and it’s such a blast to fly! Read comments of some of our valued customers in the photo gallery on the right.

  • A single piece wing, mounted from below in seconds, combines strength with light weight and simplicity, and the stab uses the same method. With a span of about 1.6m it’s easy to transport and store, and the advantages of having a plane with only 3 major components adds to the principle of simplicity which we have applied to the design. 



  • A 2.2 litre conformal fuel cell in the fuselage (2nd wing tank optionally available), a double-wall thrust tube, full-flow turbine bypass system, and all bulkheads, engine and servo mounts are preinstalled for you. It gives you plenty of options for your choice of turbine. As ideal we recommend engines in the thrust range of 8-12 kg, even though 16 kg engines may fit, it is highly recommended to turn down the maximum thrust for safe operation.

  • The huge wing opening and the large canopy give plenty of access for the equipment installation. There is a wealth of accessories which we all tried ourselves in our “Flash” and we can very well recommend their use – and our recommendations still leave you the freedom of choice.

  • The well proven combination of Behotec gear and Intairco wheels & brakes fits the plane like a hand in a glove, however, we offer the Jet-1A landing gear with trailing link struts as well. The wheels fit a wheel well in the bottom wing and we omitted the need of separate gear doors. No additional moving parts, and still perfect aerodynamics.

  • The flying performance is overwhelming. Total simplicity for unlimited flying fun, a racy look and sophisticated aerodynamics. The "Flash’ has it all. Speeds up to the AMA limit of 200 mph, vertical climbs out of sight, most neutral behaviour in rolling maneuvers (almost no knife edge mix is required) and withstanding the g-loads of tight loops and turns. The thick one-piece wing is not only responsible for this rigidity, but also for the wide speed range, allowing the slowest fly-bys and landing approaches, supported by specially designed flaps with speed brake extensions to the top.

The CARF “Flash” is an impressive model airplane, a great investment over all. It makes you look good and lets you have a great time at the flying field. What else do you need to have your everyday jet flying fun?
