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.
