This is the Owl-RT, wingspan 806mm (31.7"). It is built from 3mm Depron (1 sheet), a spruce spar and various other easy to find materials and components.
AUW is 240~280g (8.5~10oz) depending on motor and battery, but can be built as light as 200g if you skip the landing gear and use balsa for the spar.
Why Owl-RT (pronounced "All Right")?
RT are the initials of Kaos2's real name, Rich Thompson. Since the Owl-RT inherited its KF wing from the Regal/Regal Bipe model series designed by Rich.
The Owl-RT has short, stocky wings, it looked a little bit like an owl.
The main features of the Owl-RT are:
Aerobatics and basic 3D capable.
Indoors and outdoors (up to 20km/h winds).
Easy and inexpensive to build and repair.
Small enough to easily fit on the back seat of compact car.
Can fly very slowly with full control authority.
Very gentle stall (nose tips down).
Unlimited vertical with the right motor.
