Features

• A 3-channel, reusable, FM radio system allows for superb control and maneuverability through throttle, aileron and elevator control. Aileron control makes this aircraft the first true aerobatic aircraft from hobbyzone, allowing the pilot to perform complex maneuvers, such as spins or inverted flight!!!

• A one-box purchase so, everything that is needed to get flying comes in the box

• A ready-to-fly design gets you in the air quickly after simply attaching the wing pieces and landing gear, and installing the rechargeable battery

• Two flight modes, High Rate and Low Rate, are selectable from a switch on the transmitter and allow you to control the level of difficulty dependent upon your skill level

• A mid-fuselage attach point for the wing makes the plane respond better to wind and fly more smoothly

• A two-piece, mid-set, plug-in wing allows the wing to be strong, stay relatively clear of the prop and have a sleek, swept-wing design. It also allows the plane to fit in a shorter, stronger box, making transportation easier for you.

• X-Port technology so you can use exciting plug-in accessories, such as the Sonic Combat Module to dog fight with other X-Port-equipped planes, and the Aerial Drop Module to drop bombs or a parachutist

• Two lightweight aileron servos help to minimize weight and increase maneuverability

• A powerful 480 motor for great climb rate and power

• Durable, steel wire pushrods for more precise and consistent control

• Lightweight, yet durable, foam and plastic components maximize aerobatics while minimizing weight and crash damage

• A soft, resilient rubber nose cushions the force of impact and decreases damage from a hard landing.

• Main and rear landing gear enable you to land on asphalt, concrete or short grass.
