Flip 3D Sailplane/Electro (ARF)

This is one of Top Models most interesting sailplanes. The Flip 3D with its full-flying elevator is capable incredible aerobatics. With the elevator throws and large, full span ailerons, "Slope 3D" is possible. The tall but narrow fuselage design gives the Flip 3D great knife-edge flight characteristics as well. Although designed for the slope, the Flip's light wing loading means that it thermals well and performs well in light wind conditions. With addition of electric version you do not need slope with strong wind, from now on you can enjoy this 3D capable sailplane anywhere you want. The synergy of low weight and strong structure is very unusual in a production sailplane and can only be achieved with careful attention to design and construction. The details are outstanding, all seams are sealed, the covering is tight. This model comes with high quality European hardware and a fully illustrated instruction manual. This airplane is incredible stable and predictable flyer, suitable for beginners as well as advanced pilots.

Absolutely unique, 3D electric or 3D slope sailplane. Slope, soar or fly 3D aerobatic routine with this machine.
