Phase3, the new choice in performance 3D profiles.  This new selection of two biplanes for indoor or still-air use brings a fresh look to profile
lightweight foam aircraft.  Each is made from a special foam laminate, which provides a strong structure that resists damage and can carry a
dramatic color scheme.  By limiting the material to 4.5mm and by using a tissue-light surface to print on, we've managed to keep weight to an
absolute minimum.  Unlike so many of these models, the Phase3 designs have a solid color scheme printed on all sides - no single-surface,
transparent colors here!

Each model has factory-installed carbon strip spars and fuselage stiffeners for strength, without the unsightly and heavier wood used in other
models.  The undercarriage struts are also made from carbon and secured into molded plastic brackets on reinforced surfaces.

Assembly is simple and easy.  You'll need a power system and radio gear.  The Cirrus micro servos and receiver are the perfect choice for your
new Phase3 profile, although any lightweight equipment can be used.  For the economy minded, we have 370 motors and gear boxes available.
For those who want more spirited performance, small outrigger-style brushless, direct drive motors with 2-3 LiPO cells perform perfectly.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR BOTH THE ULTIMATE AND THE PITTS.  RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR FLIGHT

AND THE RECOMMENDED ITEMS NECESSARY TO BUILD EACH AIRPLANE ARE THE SAME.
