MACROSS PLUS YF-19 Excalibur for Phoenix RC

This is the most iconic Macross Valkyrie fighter of the mid 90's; the YF-19 EXCALIBUR from the MACROSS PLUS animation. Back in the days i was still in College drooling over YF-19 as it does most awesome dogfights in history of Macross series watched on VCD disc on CRT monitor!,lol. Its the first radical looking forward sweep wing ever build which inspires many fictional fighter to have such wing configuration after that era....and which is why i bought myself a huge R/C model EDF turbine jet the BERKUT SU-47 due to its similarity...hehehe! Not only the YF-19 look rad in fighter mode but also both in 'Gerwalk' and ''Battroid' mode looks sophisticatedly macho and cool too even decades later to this day. Its genetic has passed down to VF-31J SIEGFRIED in MACROSS DELTA but still YF-19 still the most badass looking fighter among all lineage of Macross valkyries. I'm glad i've finally give it a go to create 3d model of YF-19 for Phoenix R/C simulator; it was a blast and fun to fly in the virtual world. The flight handling and agility not as 'flipping ninja' style as seen on the Macross Plus animation movie but i keep it more realistic close to real world flight handling still retain its Radio Control flight model flying vibe into the airframe. Its 'Advance' level skill plane allow you to fly aerobatics maneuver like barrel roll, knife edge, loop and all the cool move up to its handler skill plus its build to resist stall characteristic so its means you could fly it slow and make it easier to do low passes and landings. YF-19 for 2019! If you're big fan of Macross you'd definately will not missed getting on of this hot Valkyrie in your collection!
