INSIGHTRC PILOTS & FRIENDS
Last updated - 07/22/06
Here is the prototype after some airbrushing and motor change to the
OS160fx with standard muffler. The OS is setup with a perry pump and
turns a 16.5x12apc at approx. 7900rpm. Total weight with this setup is
10lbs. 10oz. (a couple ounces may be attributed to new paint job). This
setup has been a joy. The airplane snaps very clean at this weight and
the standard muffler setup is completely maintenance free.

The Insight ala' Luis Rodriquez. Pictures do not do this piece of fine art
justice. Luis created a very cool look with only a few minor mods.
Notice the blending of the fuse to the 3-1/2" FAI spinner, the rounding of
the vertical fin, stab and wing tips, and the extension of the canopy
height.. YS140L, 10lbs. 4oz.

Insight by Jim Sheffield (pictured next to the red and white prototype).
A custom canopy (glassed foam) and no cheeks are the noticable
differences here. He also rounded the corners on the turtle decks
just slightly. All painted with PPG, YS140sport, Futaba digitals, ES
pipe, Bolly landing gear - 10lbs. 8oz.
