CA Models Cuantic

Cuantic – F3A Two Meter Pattern Plane

After flying the Zonda for a few years we placed the capabilities of a monoplane to a higher level, the Cuantic project was born.
Several months of testing the Cuantic in all conditions the result is a very powerful and neutral aircraft, it's a state-of-the-art monoplane designed and developed with the latest construction techniques achieving a low weight with a quality finish.

Designed to fly the most demanding sequences; P21 &F 21 as well as the unknown sequences incorporating a very simple set-up. The Cuantic capabilities include; excellent knife-edge , rolling circles, and the most complex maneuvers in FAI.

You may be curious how it performs in lateral and crosswind conditions due to its large side area, this is a common question we receive. The Cuantica's outstanding performance under these conditions of strong winds in Argentina (where it's born) makes a for a very predictable, and stable flying F3A airplane.

Invitation G2 flight trimming

G2 trimming continues...made adjustments to:

  • CG (more nose heavy)
  • Wing incidence (more positive incidence)
  • Travel volume and exponential adjustments
  • Throttle curve fine tuning and idle up speed for stall turns


Jan 15th, 2020

  • With the added positive incidence the plane feels more locked
  • Radio has been upgraded to 32MZ
    • Hysteresis on Aileron and Elevator has been increased to 4 then to 8. I am detecting a noticeable change of feel around the stick center. Not sure if this is good or bad. Further testing is required...

BJ Craft Invitation G2

Test flight of the recently completed BJ Craft Invitation G2 was flawless.  Only had time to log a  small number of initial flights.  Had to cut the flying day short to attend an event with the wife.  Looking forward to trim flights and getting the  G2 competition ready.

Practice at SCRC Club

Had a productive practice session this evening. Light variable winds enabled flying L-R and R-L sequences.   EPIC + is performing very well
