Airframe Description

Continually providing high performance and durable EPP
foamies, JTA Innovations took yet another leap forward
with the release of the 33” MXS. In 6mm EPP just as the
previous Gamebird, the MXS is an excellent compliment.
Tested by high profile 3D/freestyle pilots here in the United
States, the MXS has proven to satisfy some very technical
demands. Both striking color schemes are designed by Kim
Quenette and are sure to catch attention. JTA Innovations
also introduces another development in the carbon fiber
construction technique with this release. The use of flat
carbon fiber throughout the airframe not only improves
durability reducing flex and wear on the EPP, but also helps
keep mass centralized in certain parts of the airframe.

Recommended Equipment:
Motor - Hacker A10-9L, T-Motor AT2303, equivalent
ESC - 10-15 amp
Servos - 6-12 gram (Qty. 3)
Propeller - 8-9” (APC Indoor SF highly recommended)
Battery - 2S or 3S 350-750 mAh depending on motor/ESC
capabilities
