STEM RC Airplane Build Kit - Swappable Wings with FT Bravo and FT Charlie Kits
Expand your RC plane experience with the versatile FT Alpha aircraft, designed to be quick and easy to fly and build, an all-around best performer out of the Triad series.
FT Alpha MKR2
The FT Alpha is a quick-to-build, easy-to-fly aircraft and a standout performer in the Triad Series. Its thoughtful design makes it perfect for pilots looking for versatility, speed, and fun in the air.
What makes the Alpha truly unique is its swappable wings—fully compatible with the FT Bravo and FT Charlie kits. Each wing attaches in less than a minute using simple rubber bands, and there’s no need to re-calibrate the center of gravity after swapping. This means you can mix and match wings to create nine different aircraft combinations, making it perfect for flight line fun and sharing with friends.
Pair it with the optional Power Pack F V.2 and 850mAh battery, and you’ll enjoy balanced flight performance and a smooth, easy assembly process. Designed to be fun to build and even more fun to fly, the FT Alpha is an aircraft you’ll reach for again and again.

Great flyer
Easy build, great flyer. Nose was the toughest to get together. I recommend flying on low rates. My sons love flying these planes the most out of all the planes.

FT Alpha
The Alpha is a great flying plane. Stable and forgiving, it builds confidence. The F-pack with a 3-cell battery provides a lot of power. I flew mostly around half throttle. The cockpit area can be used as a launch hand-hold, but it is a little tricky. I highly recommend the Alpha with the F-pack. Enjoy!
