The Avistar ARF is also customizable. Assembly is still easy and glue free, but with this plane you can choose between glow and electric power. You can also choose to install flaps on your craft for additional maneuvering options. In all, the planes modular construction speeds assembly and makes replacement or exchanging of parts a breeze.
- Wing halves feature pre-hinged control surfaces and servo bays for aileron servos and optional flaps. Simply slide them onto the joiner tube. No glue is used, so they remove easily for transport.
