A plane for all occasions
With its bolt-together assembly, the Escapade .61 ARF is a breeze to build — and so enjoyable and affordable, you'll want to fly it every chance you get. You have a variety of options for powering it, and the larger dimensions add stability and visibility to your sport maneuvers.
- Flies equally well with a glow engine or brushless electric motor
- Tail surfaces bolt on and align automatically, and control horns are pre-installed and pre-aligned
- Control surfaces are pre-hinged
- A two-piece wing simplifies assembly as well as transportation
- Other convenience/detail touches include a fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, plus a painted and installed pilot figure

|
| This Escapade performs well with glow or electric power, and included mounts make installation of either option simple. |
|
The two-piece wing is another convenience features. The wing panels assemble onto a joiner tube, simplifying building as well as transportation. |
|
|
|
| A huge time-saver, the tail surfaces bolt on and align automatically; even the control horns are pre-installed and pre-aligned. |
|
The control surfaces are pre-hinged, which speeds final assembly by eliminating gluing. |
|
|
|
| The fiberglass cowl and wheel pants complement the Escapade .61's built-up wood construction, and are painted to match the trim scheme. |
|
Access to electric flight batteries — or the pre-assembled, three-line fuel tank — is fast and easy. |
|
|
|
| Not only is the pilot figure included, it comes already painted and installed. |
|
With a .61 two-stroke you have a great second plane for low-wing maneuvers. A .91 offers the power for higher speeds and vertical performance. Electric modelers will enjoy the Escapade set up with a clean and quiet outrunner brushless motor. |

"We've taken the Escapade — a favorite among flyers since 2008 — and enlarged it to create the Escapade .61 ARF. It's still just as easy to assemble, with a variety of options for powering it and a price that makes it a real value. Plus, the larger dimensions add stability and visibility to your sport aerobatics!"
