Beast 100 Introduction and Optional Sun Cover
What do you get when one of RC’s greatest 3D pilots collaborates with one of full-scale
aviation’s greatest aircraft designers? The Beast, a giant-scale bi-plane with monoplane-like
flight characteristics, that blurs the line between 3D and precision aerobatic performance, and
more than lives up to its name.
The full-scale Beast is the brainchild of renowned aircraft restoration expert, Kevin Kimball, who
actually collaborated with 3D champ and Hangar 9 product developer Quique Somenzini on its
design. The brute power of its 410 hp engine combined with the finesse of its neck-snapping
370 degree/second roll rate make it one of the most formidable aerobatic planes ever created.
Drawing on his experience with the design of the full-scale Beast, Quique created this licensed
100cc reproduction for Hangar 9. He did so with the full cooperation of Mr. Kimball as well as
Bryan Jensen, the Beast’s pilot and owner, and Mirco Pecorari who designed the full-scale
plane’s trim scheme. At the heart of the model’s design is a rigid, lightweight airframe that
features thinner wings for better top speed and agility.
Beast 100 is one of the few truly scale but high-performance giant-scale RC planes that today
is available to modelers in the form of an ARF. The trim scheme of this plane is refreshing
among other models and as scale as it can be. However, due to the combination of dark
colors, it is best that the model does not stay under direct sun light for long periods of time to
avoid wrinkles in the covering. Darker colors absorb heat more than lighter colors. We strongly
recommend the use of a sun cover to protect the airplane at the field. Hangar 9 offers a white
plane sun cover (HAN9170) that you can purchase as an optional accessory and easily put on
the plane for complete protection of the covering.
