So complete, it's electrifying!

The name is recognizable, the handling is comfortably predictable, but the power system is all new! Not only is this the first electric-powered Super Sportster, it's also the first to include a factory-installed power package! The Super Sportster EP ARF is a great choice for the pilot who's ready to move up from a high-wing aileron trainer. The low-wing design and full-length strip ailerons aid in aerobatics while a semi-symmetrical airfoil helps maintain stability at low speeds. It's an easy way to enjoy traditional Super Sportster performance with the clean, quiet convenience of electric flight.

No building or finishing ? flight-ready in just 5-6 hours!
Arrives with the motor and gearbox preinstalled in the nose.
The fiberglass cowl and wheel pants are factory-painted and ready to install.
Changes from docile to dynamite just by adjusting the throws.

The factory-installed 550 motor and 2:1 gearbox provide stronger climbs and longer flights.

The all-wood airframe is factory-covered in colorful, heat shrink polyester film. Painted and trimmed fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, a generous hardware package and complete power system are also included.

Located between the cowl and canopy, this handy hatch allows for quick and easy battery pack changes.

Note: Some models require a 3-channel radio system, but a 4-channel will also work and it's beneficial because the modeler can use it in a wider range of applications with larger aircraft in the future. It depends on whether the modeler plans on using their radio for different uses other than just this airplane. Also please note that some radios come with receiver, crystal and/or servos.
