Manufacturer's Description

Based on the full-scale airshow favorite flown by Matt Chapman, this "flat foamy" is made the Great Planes way — straight, strong, easy on the eyes, and outrageous in 3D action.

  • Excels at the low speeds and tight turns needed for flying indoors.
  • Goes together fast...without tape!
  • Includes T-370 brushed motor with 5:1 gearbox and slow fly prop.

Fly in just 2-3 hours! Using foam-safe CA and the supplied custom hardware, you'll easily assemble the CAP's pre-printed foam panels and carbon rods into a sturdy, great-looking 3D model.

A powerful T-370 brushed motor and gearbox are included and ready for installation. Also supplied are a slow fly propeller and prop saver that enables it to deflect at landing.

The control horns have a larger than normal hole that fits the Z-bend pushrod connector without slop. The control does double duty as a hinge, reducing weight and assuring correct linkage geometry.

Molded strut supports hold the 2 mm carbon rod landing gear legs in position. They're also braced at the fuselage, wing and wheels for a strong, properly reinforced landing gear.
