 Carbon-Z

 Scimitar

  aircraft is a quantum leap in tailless swept wing design that combines patent-

pending Carbon-Z construction with the latest in high-output brushless motor and vector–thrust propeller engineering. The speed and maneuverability this makes 
possible is nothing short of spectacular. Read this manual thoroughly before taking your fi rst fl ight. The Carbon-Z Scimitar can cover a lot of ground in a hurry. The 
better understanding you have of its performance and systems before your fi rst fl ight, the better that fl ight, and every one after, will be.
