Peak Charger

Peak charging convenience

for Park Flyers!

Great for economy, ease and efficiency, the 3FR offers a
whole new angle on park flyer systems. Elevator and aileron
(or rudder) control is centered on a single stick, the same way
it is on 4-channel systems. Learn on the 3FR today and you’re
acquiring skills for future flights, too. Case design supports
correct thumb placement with an “S” curve on the right, while
a thumb recess on the left provides a better grip. A slide switch
offers easy, proportional control of throttle, flap or spoiler. The
on-board package includes an R114F receiver, two S3106
micro servos and a 250mAh NiCd for the receiver. There’s
also a 600mAh NiCd for the transmitter and an AC charger
that can recharge both at once! 1-year warranty. Note: Should
not be used on low-band channels 11-15. (FUTJ52**)
