A quick update here. I received an e-mail from the factory yesterday
saying that the ARC Impact kits will be ready in April and should be
shipped on the next container shortly after that.

Thanks, Steve Moon, UHP

Steve,

Do you have a waiting list for the kits?

Rudy,

You aren't related to my wife are you?    She makes the same type requests of me.

Steve.

Just an update here. I recently flew the prototype Impact ARC
in the DASH contest in Dallas. Before the contest I had exactly
8 flights on the plane and put in one practice flight the morning
of the contest. It was quite hot and windy, but the Impact ARC
was no problem at all. It handled the wind easily and performed
quite well. I was scoring in the 480-490 range, and considering
the lack of practice and the conditions was pretty happy with
that. I'm sure with maybe 20 more flights and some trimming out
I would have been 30 or so points higher. Overall, I thought the
plane flew great and acquitted itself quite well.

The planes should be arriving sometime in mid to late July and
be ready for sale shortly thereafter. I'm going to inspect a couple
of them before shipping any out just to make sure they are to
my liking.

Later, Steve

Hi Steve,

I'm looking forward to my new ARC Impact in the next few weeks. TIA for taking the time to do a sample QC check before shipping. :-)

One more small question:  Is the ARC fuselage the same width as the original.  I'm looking at the plans I have, and it sure is narrow. I plan on squeezing a 5S battery in the front. I guess I could make some looooong cheek cowls if needed. 

Regards,
