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.

Bolt-on tail surfaces — A huge time-saver, the tail surfaces bolt on and align automatically; even the control horns are pre-installed and pre-aligned.

pre-hinged control surfaces — 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.

battery compartment — Access to electric flight batteries — or the pre-assembled, three-line fuel tank — is fast and easy.

painted and installed pilot figure — Not only is the pilot figure included, it comes already painted and installed.

Escapade in action! — 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.
