Almost Ready-To-Fly EP Aerobatic Foam Profile Plane

The "all-in-one" 3D aerobat!

Accept no limitations — the Turmoil is specifically designed for a mix of precision aerobatics and 3D maneuvers. Its unique Side Force Generators let you fly knife edge almost hands-off. They also provide enough side lift to perform loops, figure eights and more, using nothing but rudder.

Flight-ready in only 2-3 hours.
Custom hardware provides unmatched strength and performance!
Includes T-370 brushed motor with gearbox and slow fly prop for exciting 3D performance.

Fly in just 2-3 hours! Using foam-safe CA and the supplied custom hardware, you'll easily assemble the Turmoil'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.

With the unique Side Force Generators, you can establish knife edge flight almost hands off. They also give the Turmoil side lift, which allows you to perform loops, figure eights, and more using nothing but rudder.

“For just a little time and money, the Turmoil offers big returns — outdoing other foam profile models in looks, construction quality, and 3D aerobatic ability.”

Important Tech Note

Innovative hardware for Tape-Free Assembly

Control Horns 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.		Landing Gear 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.

Amazing Control Throw Large servo arms and control horns offer up to 80 degree deflection.		Clip-Hinge System Clip-Hinges allow control surfaces to pop off in a crash and avoid damage.

Z-Bends A large bearing surface on the Z-bends reduces wear to prevent slop, unlike linkage systems that rely on small wire Z-bends. To make installation simple, the 1 mm carbon rod is secured in the Z-bend with a drop of CA.		Tailwheel The tail gear pivots on the carbon fin post, allowing the snap-in tailwheel to steer the airplane while on the ground.
