Mephisto

The CARF-Models Mephisto marks a significant milestone in my journey with model airplanes, being the second jet I ever piloted. What makes the Mephisto stand out is not just its complexity, but the sheer magic it brings to the skies. For me, it was love at first sight – Beyond its impressive 3D characteristics, the Mephisto boasts an exceptionally diverse flight envelope that's nothing short of amazing. It's a jet that doesn't just fly; it dances gracefully in the air, reflecting a perfect blend of engineering excellence and aerial artistry.
