SF 1 Archon -July 24 2018

Full take off and landing also overhead fly by with 45hp engine (Rotax 503 two stroke engine)

[@frankhuston2616]

Love the design!!!

Coolest plane . Right up there with Rutan designed

[@ravishankarsimha4169]

Cool design!!

[@joeandjanice]

That's a lot of flying on 45 HP! If you can do that with that little power pick up a couple of model jet micro turbines! What the hell! Well done.

[@pjhudson5344]

yup thats im thinking couple of jetbeetles micro turbines 300-500lbs of thrust that thing would be a zippy do dA!

[@GabeGettinRich]

@@pjhudson5344I’m pretty sure I’ve seen someone on KZbin that put a JetCat turbine in his and the thing moves around pretty well with it. Doesn’t seem to be too much faster at its top speed, and the never exceed speed on the SF2 is 155 on the airframe anyways. The Rotax already puts out 110-120 mph cruise speed I believe. Not much faster for the turbine, but far more expensive I’m sure. Sounds like a dream though.

[@mss4822]

Im glad this guy is still alive

[@bob_btw6751]

So very nice. Perhaps it needs some wider tires for rough field landings and takeoffs.

[@owenmaupin8743]

I love it!!!!!!

[@pjhudson5344]

Just add 300-500LBS jetbeetles turbine power, lets GO!

This is a fantastic looking airplane some body need to build this kit in US and fast !!!

[@grandenauto3214]

Fisher flying in Canada is starting to sell the kit

[@jamestunedflat8942]

It's like top gun in slow motion.

[@joereyes8835]

If I have this plane in my possession definitely I'll put an electric motor to keep the noise down.

[@philipgreenwood841]

That really doesn't sound like a 2 stroke. If it is and 45HP, surely a 582 is a better choice if it's a weight issue - 912 if not. Really good design though. Excellent!

[@noonehere1793]

100+ hp and that thing might be quite sporty!

Amazing! Is it for sale yet? How much is it?

[@captaingreek]

It is for sale. Google it.

[@grandenauto3214]

Fisher Flying in Canada is going to sell the kit

[@wesm3915]

Definitely wont be able to handle it, just watch as it lands, all the control surfaces are flopping everywhere, the body panels are buckling just under the force of rolling down the runway. Some one with experience in fabrication and quality control needs to go through the whole plane. I love the design, I hope they can fix this thing because I would sure like one.

[@Cwra1smith]

If built properly you should get 150knts out of it.

[@TheFabricOfReality]

This plane needs a far more powerful engine.

[@huddscudd]

plane has a lot of lift, bottom fuslage is actually a wing - watching fly with a 45hp rotax being the min powerplant. 2 x 250lb thrust jetbeetles giving 500lbs of thrust and a 1/2 power ratio @ 1000lbs TakeOff

[@manofsan]

@@huddscudd - they need to make a variable-sweep wing version -- the SF-14 Tabbycat -- for shorter takeoffs & landings.

[@grandenauto3214]

@@manofsan ?? Not with a small plane like this… KISS principle

[@manofsan]

​ @GRANDEN AUTO - I still like the retractable landing gear on it - gives it a more authentic jet fighter look, even if that falls outside LSA rules. What about some kind of mini-turbofans for added speed & power?

Great plane! Does the sf2 tandem Will be built? Thanks .

[@G-Aerosports]

As of now, there is no set date, but hopefully some time soon in the near future.

[@balachutekubaya7167]

Great, so I begin to get the amount for the next kit to build it with my son! With a 100hp motor and a three blade propeller, this plane will be a rocket. Thanks for your fast answer!

[@bradfallin2698]

@@balachutekubaya7167 It will be a rocket right into the ground if the frame can't handle the added stresses.

[@larrysouthern5098]

@@balachutekubaya7167 that sounds like a great idea...( 2 place ..3 prop 100 hp.)..like an all metal Vari.ezy ...but that will add weight you will need a stronger airframe... are there plans for it to be built in US..this airplane would be a big hit in the US homebuilt market!!!!...

Is it me or does it strike you as under powered ??

[@sychrovsky]

not just you , definitely under powered

[@pjhudson5344]

What it demostrates is that the aircraft has a very high lift to glide ratio and can operate on very small, cost effective motors, scale up from this baseline with your own powerplant like the many micro turbines which are more affordable than rotax. A very impressive baseline it is indeed.

[@owenmaupin8743]

If you look it up in the 2022 Oshkosh fly in the people that have been granted the sales rights for the United States have an interview on there that tells the different engines that you can put in the plane and the kit price which I believe is around $36 - $38,000. That's for a quick build kit and does not include any electronics or engine.
