Essential RC reviewed the first Durafly Tundra back in early 2016. It was a revolutionary RC aircraft back then...and now it's been improved with several enhancements that will make it even more durable than the original.
The specs on this version 2 of the Tundra haven't changed but it's certainly more colorful and looks great in the sky. It's a very versatile model. You can fly it off rough terrain with the huge wheels, fly it off water with the included floats and operate off snow with the optional skis. Add to that that it comes with a ply frame for mounting an FPV camera, a candy dropper can easily be fitted and it would be easy to tow gliders due to its clever design.
The small enhancements made to this version 2 will make it far more durable than the original. Bolts are now provided rather than screws for wing and landing gear mounting. A component near each wheel which connects the sprung landing gear wire is now metal rather than plastic so it does not fail under abusive touch and go landings...and to aid slow flight, vortex generators have been added along the leading edge of the wing.
This was the maiden flight so I didn't go mad but it certainly gives you immediate confidence to throw it around when you get it in the air...despite the mild gusting wind. As expected it performs nice solid standard aerobatics. 4 point and smooth axial rolls, loops with more than enough power on tap to pull it over the top, sustained knife edge at full throttle, touch and go's with the sprung undercarriage and wheels absorbing some of my worst approaches. The Tundra is a great package for the relative beginner to RC flying and the expert who wants to explore the immense flexibility in all the different things it can do!
