Starling from Skynetic

Radio-Controlled Beginner & Trainer Plane for RC Pilots

Details

The Skynetic Starling is a high wing trainer that provides an economical entry for new RC pilots learning how to fly. Made with lightweight yet durable EPO foam with a high cambered wing and rugged tricycle style landing gear, the Starling delivers high value in a low cost trainer airplane. Both the wing and landing gear are easily removable for transport, and the internal structure is sensibly reinforced in specific areas so that the overall aircraft remains both durable and easy to repair.

Intermediate pilots may choose to remove the landing gear entirely to convert the model to a hand-launch/belly-land airplane for increased speed and agility.

Features:

  • Durable EPO foam construction
  • High wing with large camber to increase trainer-friendly flight behavior
  • Rugged and strong tricycle landing gear for added insurance on takeoffs and landings
  • Easy to remove wing and horizontal stabilizer makes transport a breeze
  • Convenient assembly with only six screws
