Details

The kit of this 3D aerobatic park flyer with a wingspan of 1080mm is made of virtually indestructible EPP foam and thoroughly reinforced with carbon spars for 350–500W brushless electric motors. The wing features a symmetrical airfoil, and the fuselage has a large side area for perfect performance in 3D aerobatics or knife-edge flight. Controllable ailerons, rudder, and elevator.

SAVAGE MAX is a powerful 3D aerobatic park flyer made of EPP foam, powered by a 350–500W brushless electric motor. A few hours with some CA glue in hand are all it takes to get this model flight-ready. You can then enjoy both F3A standard category maneuvers and 3D aerobatics! The model is also suitable for less experienced pilots. With smaller control throws, it can be flown by anyone with at least some aerobatic experience who can reliably perform loops, turns, and rolls. Thanks to the model's low weight, crashes usually result in minimal damage – and EPP parts are very easy to repair!

The one-piece wing with large ailerons features a symmetrical airfoil. Strength is ensured by carbon spars, and of course, there are pre-cut servo bays. The fuselage is profiled with a horizontal section that’s thoroughly reinforced with carbon strips. The vertical section, with its large side area, guarantees excellent knife-edge flight behavior. The well-engineered design includes a plywood motor mount attached to the fuselage with carbon strips. The servo bays for elevator and rudder are integrated into the fuselage. The tail surfaces are also made of EPP, with the two halves of the large all-moving elevator mounted on a tubular carbon spar rotating in a 3D-printed bearing inside the fuselage. The ailerons, rudder, and elevator are controlled by short, direct carbon or steel pushrods. The main landing gear is made of carbon fiber with two lightweight wheels and EPP covers. It is attached with four screws to a fiberglass support plate, which is mounted to the fuselage with 3D-printed plastic brackets. The tailwheel, with a 3D-printed mount and a lightweight foam wheel, is linked to the rudder.

To control the model, you’ll need at least a 4-channel RC system that allows you to set dual rates and exponential throws.

For casual recreational flying, standard analog micro servos with metal gears such as the KAVAN GO-13MG or Hitec HS-65MG are sufficient. For aerobatics, you should use strong and fast digital servos with metal gears like the KAVAN GO-1013MG, Hitec HS-5065MG, or similar.

For power, we recommend the brushless motor KAVAN PRO 3536-1000, FOXY 3536-1000, Model Motors AXI 2814/16 V2, or similar, with an APC propeller 11x4.7SF when using a 3S LiPo battery or 10x4.7SF with a 4S LiPo.

The ESC should have a minimum current rating of 40 A. If you use strong and fast digital servos, make sure it has a powerful BEC, such as the KAVAN PRO-40SB or KAVAN R-50SB.

For power supply, a 3- or 4-cell LiPo battery with 1300–1800 mAh capacity and a minimum 40C discharge rate is suitable.
