StevensAero - SHAFT (25e) Electric RC Airplane, Sport [SA-KIT-SHAFT25E]

StevensAero - SHAFT (25e) Electric RC Airplane, Sport [SA-KIT-SHAFT25E]
The SHAFT 25e (Super High Performance Aerobatic Flight Trainer)... a scale up of our popular SHAFT 400, fills the void between our basic 4 channel "stik" trainers which are designed for positive stability and our higher performance G series models which are designed for unlimited aerobatics.

Light and efficient airframe... Designing at elevations well over a mile high forces us to create more efficient air vehicles that overcome the atmospheric density challenges of high altitude flight. Through intelligent use of materials and good old fashion engineering we are able to provide a better functioning product.

Simple Construction... Even the novice can build the SHAFT! Featuring a low part count of 100% precision laser cut balsa and hardwood components. Warp resistant construction, Truss Loc(tm) tab and notch assembly techniques assist you to build a straight and true airframe that stays true.

Under-Carriage designed to stay with the plane upon arrival... Our beefy landing gear derived from the SQuiRT 700 will absorb anything the novice pilot can dish out and won't tear out of the fuselage.

Flies like a bird not a brick... We bet you'll overshoot the runway! the SHAFT's semi-symmetric airfoil, generous wing area, and a flying wight over 1-1/2 pounds less than competing models add up to one agile bird that insists on staying aloft.

Minimize Collateral Damage... The SHAFT's wings easily slip from the fuselage and the landing gear flexes and shifts to avoid unnecessary bench time between those exciting arrivals.

Take it on the road with you... The SHAFT packs flat and is itching to go with you on your next road trip.

Kit Includes:  Full Size Rolled Plan Sheet Precision Laser cut AAA balsa and hardwood Pre-Bent Landing Gear Full hardware complement - real premium DuBro hardware. You'll need 2 rolls of your favorite colored AeroLITE or AeroFILM product. See "Specifications" tab for radio and power system requirements.

Great flyer! I over-motored (450w) it so I put the "81" servos aft and it balances easily. Joy to fly.

Be careful you don't push the hatch-cover magnet too far into the hatch-cover. My Dean's connector on the battery sometimes acts as a "clunk-line" and pops the hatch-cover off during snap-rolls. Had I left the magnet flush or slightly protruding, so that it could make contact with theh other, I think it would hold better. My bad!
