Micro Jet ARTF - Mulitplex
Designed for intermediate and expert pilots, the three channel (elevons x 2, plus motor speed controller) Micro Jet is a simple assembly kit made from the extremely durable Elapor foam.
The kit is supplied complete with a powerful direct drive 400 class motor coupled to a 5" pusher propeller. However the motor can easily be replaced with a more powerful motor as and when required. The aircraft is fully aerobatic and can be used as the next step up from the Space Scooter.
With a speed range of 15 - 100mph+ this aircraft needs a large field if it is to be flown successfully.
The Micro Jet is a good "next step" up from the Space Scooter. It is an extremely durable aerobatic aircraft which is both fast and agile in flight, the roll rate of his aircraft is truly exceptional. It is therefore only recommended for "very brave" intermediates and expert pilots.
