The new Backpack XS3 is the stylish, scale choice for a lightweight setup. The realism has been increased
by the integration of a pilot silhouette which can be optionally equipped with a medium sized pilot
head and a Pilot Ben flight suit, giving you a scale look. The optimization of the geometry of this chassis
allows you to position the li-poly battery vertically, favoring the concentration of mass for better stability
in flight.
For those wishing to use this as a competent video platform, just remove the pilot (in a few minutes)
and add the servomotor support kit, making room for a larger battery and camera gear. For hardcore thrills,
combine the XS3 with a 900W-1000W power system and full size servos for an insane power to weight ratio
and unbelievable aerobatic flight. Backpack XS3 features an all composite structure and uses the Opale
anti-torque prop ring like the one developed for the Backpack M2.
Virtually perfect, extremely elegant combination of modern design and technology. Fiberglass and Carbon
Fiber Frame, Propeller Ring and Hardware included.
