The Alchemy Pro is an update and refresh to the Alchemy. In the Pro Bryan has created an airplane greater than the sum of its parts. Changes were relatively minor on their own but came together to supercharge this airplane with improved knife edge performance, enhanced stability/resolution in yaw, and modern aesthetics. Bryan's real design signature is an unmatched level of purity in all flight envelopes and this airplane demonstrates that ethos better than perhaps any other design we offer. While not purpose built for the mind-bending F3A unknown catalogue, this is an ideal airplane for the competitor ready for a serious F3A machine with real pedigree, uncompromising performance, and a beautiful top class hand painted finish. Look no further than Brett's 3rd Place finish at the 2018 USA Pattern Nationals and Joseph Szczur's 10th place finish at the 2019 F3A World Championships using the original Alchemy for proof of it's capability in even the most demanding scenarios.

What is the Designer's Touch?
Bryan will verify alignment and fit from the factory and then apply his current, personal settings to the airplane so that you have the most up to date and perfect setup available. So what’s the big deal? Why would you pay someone else to look at your airplane? Why isn’t the airplane already perfectly setup from the factory?
- Despite the tremendous efforts of the factory it is just prohibitively difficult and unrealistic to teach factory workers, with little to no knowledge of modeling, to consistently and accurately set incidences and verify trueness to one tenth of a degree. Despite this we are trying our hardest and the airplanes get better and better as time goes on. This is not unique to our factory — we have found gross errors in models at all price points. We are up front about that reality. While we have assured the airplane will fly great out of the box, the Designer’s Touch ensures you get the absolute best alignment from Bryan himself. In addition, Bryan is constantly testing on his designs to find the perfect setup. If he has found another 2% from the airplane by moving the incidence two tenths of a degree, you will get the benefit of that knowledge first.
- Bryan will make sure the fit of all the critical components meets the highest of standards — any small issue (which could become a big issue with time) with the fit of a wing tube, wing pin, stab tube, etc. is taken care of for you.
- A personal inspection of the airplane by Bryan will eliminate any of those nasty surprises we’ve all had occasionally. An area with not quite enough glue, a chip in the paint, a small crack in the chin cowl…. all are things sometimes unavoidable. With the Designer’s Touch you have peace of mind that you won’t have to deal with such an inconvenience.
At the end of the day the Designer’s Touch is all about having that peace of mind. Your airplane will be straight; your airplane will be true; your airplane will be precisely and accurately set up; your airplane will just be right.
