For all of you out there who like the twin boom style of airframe, it looks like Bormatec, the company who makes the Maja airframe has just released a new model call the "Vamp".  It has the same wingspan of 1800mm and similar fuselage minus the tail section.  Features folding wing and tail section.  Here is a pic and the link: http://www.bormatec.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=artic...

@Adam,

Nice find.

The Vamp is only 1/2 the price of the Maja right now as a special promotion. Maybe I will have to get one.

By the way, how is your Maja coming along. I plan to start assemblying mine over the Christmas holidays.

The booms seem very short.

@Ron,

If the battery and the ESC are mounted in the fuse as close to the wing as possible, I do not think that there will be a problem getting the correct CG even if the booms are as short as they appear to be.

 

Just a thought.

Maybe the tail is also heavier than it appears to be.

Looks nose heavy to me too. Lots of volume up front, but you can't put extra batteries up there and there's only so much space under the wing. Hmm... maybe lots of space to cut out an opening on the side for a camera.

I can't agree with that one.
My maja was always really tail heavy, i had a nice Plush 80A ESC and a little bit heavier motor in it, and i had to have my batteries sticking out of the front of the payload bay+ a 5000mah 5s battery as dead weight to just about get it level.
No idea how it works if they now add a tail to it... probably only if you take a real light motor and esc, and then you haven't got the desired power..

Looks similar to the Ursus you can see here:http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1325273

According to Borjet's website, the Vamp is using a 30A ESC and a 350watt motor.

I am using a CC 50A Phoenix ICE and a BP 350 watt motor in my Maja as a comparison.
