**NEW** Hobbico UpStar ARF Electric Sailplane
Up, up and away!
The UpStar ARF offers you the low-stress way to learn to fly! It features an ultra-durable blow molded fuselage than can withstand many less-than-perfect landings, and the wing has built-in polyhedral to increase stability — a plus for inexperienced pilots. The built-up balsa wing and tail help keep weight to a minimum, and are covered in high-quality heat-shrink film with a great, easy-to-see trim scheme. A simple hand launch is all it takes to send the UpStar ARF aloft to start chasing thermals!
• Includes a 540-size motor, ESC, 8-cell 1800mAh NiMH battery pack and folding prop!
• Flight ready in only 3-4 hours.
• Perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon flights!
The included power system features a motor, ESC and battery pack that are all performance-matched for optimum flight times. The folding propeller reduces drag in flight, and helps avoid damage when landing.
POLYHEDRAL WING
The rubber band-on wing features built-in polyhedral, which increases stability and helps level the model after a turn.
BOLT-ON TAIL
The built-up balsa tail makes the UpStar quick to assemble and is easy to remove and replace if required.
RADIO COMPARTMENT
Your radio system’s onboard gear fits easily inside the UpStar ARF’s spacious radio compartment, and it will accept low-cost, readily available standard servos.
