The Model Tech Apex 3D EP ARF is designed for one thing: Electric Flying Fun!  A cross between a stick and a 3D airplane, the Apex 
3D EP ARF is light, nimble, responsive, and solid.  No matter how wild the maneuver, just release input and watch it straighten up, 
making recovery easy.  The light wing loading provides that quick response and allows for great low-speed handling.  Soloed pilots 
to wold champions can set this airplane up for anything from Mild-to-Wild. 
The APEX is a great time. It's the Peak of Fun, the APEX by Model Tech.
