The Carf-Models Mephisto is in a word - sublime. It is the quintessential sport jet, captivating in every turn, flip, spin hover, and landing. Few jets can come close to matching its precision, elegance and sleek lines together with the sheer fun factor and additional dimension of thrust vectoring. At just about any jet event there is a Mephisto on display with its aerial presence doing amazing maneuvers in a class all of its own.

The Mephisto always stands out—not just because of its impressive size, but also due to its distinctive design and cutting-edge flight performance. Even after countless flight hours, it never fails to thrill me. Every flight feels unique, and every flight is pure fun.
Marius Euteneier, Germany (Team Pilot)
I had the great opportunity to start vector flying with the Mephisto even though I only had a few flight on jets before. After less than 10 flights the Mephisto became the ultimate jet for me. This plane is a precision master, so smooth and elegant to control. The hovering function makes it the most capable plane out there!
Max Chrubasik (Team & Factory Pilot)
The CARF-Models Mephisto marks a significant milestone in my journey with model airplanes, being the second jet I ever piloted. What makes the Mephisto stand out is not just its complexity, but the sheer magic it brings to the skies. For me, it was love at first sight – Beyond its impressive 3D characteristics, the Mephisto boasts an exceptionally diverse flight envelope that's nothing short of amazing. It's a jet that doesn't just fly; it dances gracefully in the air, reflecting a perfect blend of engineering excellence and aerial artistry.
Elad Fish, USA (Team Pilot & Sales Rep)
The Carf Models Mephisto stands as a pinnacle of aerodynamic artistry, seamlessly blending cutting-edge design with high-performance capabilities. Its sleek lines and precision engineering make it a standout in the world of RC jets. From exhilarating speed to graceful maneuvers, the Mephisto embodies the thrill of flight at its finest.

This is a preliminary Instruction Manual V1.3 with the most important infromation to build and set up our Mephisto. It will be sufficient for the time being to support your equipment installation and to help set up the plane for the first flights.
A Photo Sheet will be published here as soon as a few more Mephistos have been built and set up.
The all new V2 thrust vector tube is availalbe now and shipped for every Mephisto, if ordered. Here is the manual for this new V2 Vector Tube. It is very important to read and follow!
