INTRODUCTION
Biplanes oer a unique challenge as every aspect of the design must be
optimized, from the structure, to the aerodynamics, and control system.
Only years of experience designing aircraft in this category can produce
the Mamba 10's aggressive, yet forgiving characteristics. Designer Quique
Somenzini knows how to optimize biplane aerodynamics like no other,
having won F3A and 3D world championships with his biplane designs. A
biplane with less coupling or better manners cannot be found. The
structure is highly optimized oering an aircraft that is sti and strong,
yet light in weight.
Couple a phenomenal airframe with the Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control
System, the latest in stabilization technology, and you get an incredible
performance package; one that remains stable, yet maneuverable. Pilots
rave about its direct and non-interfering feeling, and its ability to bring
out the best in aircraft.
