This 250-size ARFversion is for RC pilots wanting the thrill of basicaerobatics in a small yet detailed package. This clever,all-wood model remarkably maintains the subtle curvesand character of the original aircraft, yet is distinctivelydetailed with a checker-scheme that honors thecharacter of the Aerobat.
