Hello, and thanks for your interest in TufFlight.
We're a small company of builders/flyers who think we have something
exciting that you will enjoy. We've recently started a model aircraft kit
making company, working as a small business out of our homes.
We'd like to say we'll let our products speak for themselves, but at the
moment, few hobbyists know about us, so we have to "boast" a little.
We believe we're the first to bring the revolutionary flexible and durable materials now routinely
used in radio control slope soaring combat planes to the glo fuel power flyer.
We've adapted several new materials and revolutionary designs that
allow for an easily assembled lightweight and fun airplane. These materials
make building a new experience that is often faster and more enjoyable to
complete than what many balsa kits offer. But the best feature in each of
our new designs is the CRASHABILITY!
When is the last time you've heard someone say, "This plane flies great. I
love flying it, and I don't care if I crash it?" Unless you have really rich
friends, we doubt you've heard that too often. But we think that's about to
change!
We've cut our teeth in the exciting corner of open R/C combat flying, and
have been inspired by the fast action and simplicity offered by traditional
combat wings. Our "Predator" is just such a ship, and although we've been
flying early versions of this plane for a few years now, it's still one of
our favorites.
All our designs feature revolutionary engine and servo mounting systems with
durable wings and tail fins. These allow unprecedented survivability of the
main airframe in most crash attitudes. With our designs, usually only
propellers and nylon bolts fail in a crash. These items are easily replaced
at the field, and a flyer can often be back in the air within 15 minutes
after a crash that would take several nights of work to fix traditional
designs.
So, if you're looking for a durable and fun addition to your fleet, even if
you don't fly combat, we think we may have something for you. Feel free to
contact us with any questions you may have.
Great flying to you,
Mark and Joe
