The Dancing Wings Hobby Savage Bobber is a small, lightweight foam model that is quick and simple to build. The full-size Savage Bobber was devised by the Zlin Aviation Company. The Bobber as in the motorcycle world means that it is a stripped-down, customized version of an original. The Savage Bobber is a stripped-down, customized version of its older brother the Savage Classic. It is lighter, more maneuverable, and has a slightly narrower fuselage, and the absence of covering to the rear of the fuselage greatly improves the crosswind handling.

The model is reasonably straightforward to assemble, it is manufactured in pre-painted high-quality EPP foam sheet for the majority of the construction, tough plastic for the open framework rear fuselage, and lightweight balsa for the internal structure. Carbon strips are also included to reinforce and improve the stiffness of the structure. It builds up quickly into a good-looking, fun-to-fly lightweight (only 98g) sports plane that is perfect for indoor or park flying. This ARF kit is supplied with a powerful 1108-4000KV brushless motor, 5A brushless ESC, 5" propeller, and 4 x 2g servos.

This little kit takes around 4hrs to build and will satisfy the throttle jocky in all of us!

The flycat comes with 56mm EDF and you will need a 25A ESC & 4800kv inrunner.

This plane is extremely fast, (over 100mph!), however still stable at slow flight.

Our flight report.

Kit fits together well, light sanding of leading and trailing edges required to remove extra foam. We chose to not strengthen the wing with CF tubing, which didnt prove to be an issue, even at full speed high G turns.

We opted to mount the BESC being the battery area, in case the battery needed to be moved forward to adjust CofG, however this wasnt necessary.

EDF was mounted on the stick mount. Stick mount was shortened, with the extra piece used to raise the EDF off the stick to clear the EDF shroud. 2 bolts held the fan unit to the stick, one before and one after the fan blades.

First flight.

We kept CofG 9.5cm from the apex of the wings leading edge. The flycat was hand launched at 3/4 throttle, accelerating quickly. To our surprise, no trimming was required.

The flycat is an extremely fast kit to fly, and required a lot of elevator in turns. We suggest putting the elevator on maximum throws. It needs HUGE amounts of elevator during turns!

Overall an excellent plane which flys smoothly, even on windy days.

We suggest a good lipo pack, as this little hotty will chew through a 1500mAh in only 5 minutes. We used the ZIPPY-R 1800mAh 22C 3S1P pack for around 8 minute flights. As compared to the ZIPPY-Q pack which brought us short at about 7 minutes.
