EasyStar ARF Electric RC Airplane from Hobby Lobby!

54" wingspan, 35" long, 370 sq. in. wing area, 24 oz. flying weight, 9.4 oz./sq.ft. wing loading. EasyStar has unusually stable flight that's perfect for beginners. It's somewhere between a sailplane (it will thermal) and a sport plane. It's very easy to handlaunch and fly. (We have video of a pilot handlaunching EasyStar but NOT holding the transmitter! EasyStar climbs right out - straight.) Beginner's hard landings hardly hurt it because it's made of resilient and repairable "Elapor" foam. Even after many crashes during the learning process Easy Star will be ready for more where other trainers would be ready for the trash can. The motor and prop are mounted on top so hard landings won't break the prop. SPEED 400 motor and propeller are included with the airplane. Will take you 2 hours to install the flight equipment. For 3 channel control: Rudder, Elevator, Motor control. Also available in a ready-to-fly version. Read what Hobby Lobby employee Eric Metzler said about his EasyStar. Check out our photos of Easy Star at the flying field.

Here's how it comes out of the box!
