“High Speed Pattern” is born.

We have permission from the former designer Jim Martin to reproduce this beautiful construction as an ARF.

The model aircraft is built in series, the basic construction is adapted to the series production. The aerobatic model is built in wood. The fuselage is very narrow, perfect for the installation of an outrunner electric drive.

The aircraft is covered with original Oracover.

Of course, this aircraft can also be equipped with a glow ignition engine, but this is left to the customer and his craftsmanship.

The construction is extremely light, a flying weight of approx. 3 kg is possible.

For better transport, the wings are divided into two parts.

The ARF kit is largely complete, only the drive and RC components must be additionally provided by the builder. High-quality hardware parts are used.

The model is a flying challenge, it flies very wide and fast. Flying this model is tremendous fun. “High speed pattern” is the order of the day.

For the electric drive we recommend our proven Leomotion 4120 with 710kv. With this drive the aircraft becomes a “power without any limit rocket”.

Reservation are welcome!
