Soon to hit production, the prototype was well received by seasoned flyers at "Nashbro 2009".

Conceived as a larger "60 size" profile for those desiring a more stable yet still great flying alternative to the TufYak. The TufFlight Gavin excels at knife edge maneuvers and isn't as "loose" as the smaller 40 size profiles-- which makes it easier to control. As they say-- "Bigger flys Better." Wingspan: 58" Length: 56" Weight: 6 - 6.5 lbs Engine: .60 - 90 two stroke, 100 - 115 four stroke Radio: 4 channels Wing Area: 974 sq in Side Area: 504 sq in

Currently under development, prototypes met with keen interest by experienced EDF enthusiasts at the 2009 Toledo Expo and 2010 WRAM Show.

Electric Ducted Fans (EDFs) are HOT! The production prototype was clocked at 90 mph with EFlite Delta V15 Fan and BL15 3200Kv Motor and 4S 3200mAh 30C Li-Po battery (stock "Habu" setup) at 3lb overall weight. Resiliant EPP body with durable plastic "break away" nose forgives bad launches and mishaps which plague more fragile "styro" EDFs. Thin, efficient (fast), light yet durable laminated foam wing also breaks away for your crashing pleasure. Simple and effective full flying taileron control Optional rudder Kit will utilize any 70 mm fan and power system. Hand launchable Design goals achieve high speed, great looks and durability worthy of the TufFlight name. Check here for the Tiger Teaser video

Hybrid Technology-- TufFlight takes 3D Profile design to a new level: Inspired by popular profile designs flown by members of The Profile Brotherhood, we've adapted technologies and building techniques from several disciplines to create a new breed of flying excellence PLUS crashability: The Tuf-Yak A lightweight balsa sheeted foam core fuselage is stiff and precise for a plane that looks and flys remarkably like the best of the latest profile designs. In typical TufFlight fashion, we've incorporated forgiving features that shrug off common mishaps and let you keep flying with minimal repairs-- if any, during an exciting day of 3D fun. Let's take a closer look: Wingspan: 46" Length: 50" Weight: 4.5 lbs Engine: .40 - .53 two stroke, .63-.82 four stroke Radio: 4 channels Wing Area: 670 sq in Tank and motor mount are attached with sacrificial nylon bolts Tank is soft mounted to withstand vibration in traditional "profile" way In a hard nose down crash, the nylon bolts shear and the durable white plastic motor mount separates, minimizing damage Here's a first for profile fans-- look closely at the "weak spot" behind the canopy and wing (the achilles heel for most profiles) We say, "Go ahead, break away!" 4 sacrificial nylon bolts hold the tail together. Servo leads connect through extensions as shown. You can hardly see the split, and the fuselage is kept light because you don't need all that weight to reinforce it! Wings, ailerons and moving tail parts are EPP! Look close to see the built up balsa stab vs the EPP elevators. It's hard to tell, isn't it? But you'll know it when you do those tail touches-- EPP bounces where balsa won't. Here you can see light shining through the built up balsa vertical stab. The solid EPP rudder has some balsa at the LE only. Ultracote covering makes the EPP stiff enough for flying, but soft enough for bounceing. Lightweight quality carbon landing gear is supplied. The Gear is attached with a sacrificial nylon bolt and forgiving rubber bands so you won't break them.

Bolt your favorite motor to the front, and you'll have a plane that does it all, and looks great doing it! The perfect combinations of stiffness, flexibility and lightness.

We spent the summer of 2008 flight and crash testing the Tuf Yak with friends and we can easily proclaim this as the most durable best flying profile to date. The Tuf-Yak has "got it where it counts!"

The original TufFlight 4D is available and is still the best choice for mastering 3D low and close. No other 3D plane can boast this degree of maneuverability, toughness and fieid repairability.
