Features

 

  • Framework is of strong kit-quality wood construction, with several carefully sculpted plastic pieces to simplify final assembly
  • The wing is a two-piece, fully symmetrical and has dual taper for outstanding lift and stall characteristics
  • Dual aileron servos (one in each wing half) simplify set-up, and add precision to aileron response for crisp aerobatics
  • Elevator halves function independently using a dual yoke for maximum control surface authority
  • Comes with a premium-quality hardware package, wood construction and illustrated instructions
  • Fixed landing gear has included instructions for making this into airplane with gear that mechanical retracts (For optional mechanical retracts, use HCAP4010)
  • This is a pattern-type sport plane. The large rudder, generous tail area and long tail moment causes it to track straight-as-an-arrow in horizontal and vertical flight with a long, flat, pattern-plane approach for landings
  • Using a 4-6 channel radio with mixing ability, take advantage of using the ailerons as flaps
  • Features a tuned pipe tunnel formed into the bottom of the fuselage for sleek looks and added power
  • With a ball bearing engine and tuned pipe, it is capable of performing thrilling aerial maneuvers such as knife-edge, rolling loops, Cuban 8s, Split Ss, Immelmans, figure Ms, Vertical 8 and more
  • It is covered with dazzling, prismatic colors of dark blue, blue, green, yellow, orange and red on the top, and a high-visibility gray/white checkerboard pattern on the bottom
