Great Planes 1/3-Scale Matt Chapman Cap 580 ARF 
Though almost 100" in wingspan, this IMAA-/IMAC-legal
version of Matt Chapman’s aerobat can be ready for its first
flight in as little as 15 hours. It arrives with the all-wood
airframe already assembled and expertly covered in Top
Flite

MonoKote

, complete with a generous hardware

package. A painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants are
included, too, for no-finish/no-shaping ease. And its ability to
perform 3D stunts is nothing short of amazing. There are two
positions for the aluminum wing joiner tube, so CG can be
fine-tuned by a change in wing location. Dual rudder servos
and two servos per aileron provide the swift, strong
response that precision flying demands. GPMA1285

Great Planes 1/4-Scale Extra 300S ARF 
World Champion aerobatic pilot Patty Wagstaff dazzles
crowds with her airshow performances...now you can do the
same at your local airfield with this 1/4-scale ARF version of
her famous aircraft! It features IMAA-/IMAC-legal size, scale
looks, stunning maneuverability and fast, 15-hour assembly.
The all-wood main structures are covered in MonoKote, with
durable aluminum tube mounts to attach the wings and
stabilizers. All flying surfaces are fully airfoiled for optimum
smoothness. Lightweight fiberglass forms the cowl and
wheels pants. GPMA1305

Great Planes 1/3-Scale Christen Eagle II ARF
True to the homebuilt original, the Christen Eagle II pushes
the design envelope – making it Great Planes’ most realistic
bipe ever. In just 25-30 hours this bird is flight-ready, with
scale details such as fairings, struts and cowl made of
painted fiberglass, authentic flying wire locations and the
distinctive “Eagle” trim scheme. Hand-selected woods,
MonoKote covering and genuine Great Planes hardware
complete the quality picture. The cowl ring glued inside
strengthens the cowl and ensures perfect spinner alignment.
Short, direct linkages and independent servos for each
control surface give this giant-scale ARF the agility of a mid-
size aerobat – and it performs equally well with a gasoline or
glow engine. GPMA1217

O.S. Engines 1.60 FX Ringed Engine
The 1.60 FX features dual ball bearings for durability and
smooth operation, plus a low crankcase profile that allows
for a proportionally taller, semi-squared head – a design
refinement that increases cooling fin area and improves
heat dispersion. The threaded portion of the crankshaft is
extra-long for more secure prop and spinner nut
engagement, and the needle valve is remotely mounted for
safety during adjustments. The high-speed needle can also
be mounted horizontally, vertically, or separate from the
engine for more installation options! Includes glow plug and
2-year warranty. OSMG0660
