RC Airplane Build Kit
The FT Bushwacker is an aerobatic super short take off/landing RC aircraft based off of full scale bush planes such as the Highlander!
FT Bushwacker MKR2
Say hello to Peter’s third Flite Test design — the FT Bushwacker!
Inspired by popular full-scale bush planes like the Highlander, this rugged and versatile aircraft is built to thrive where others can’t. The FT Bushwacker combines aerobatic performance with extreme short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability, making it a true do-it-all bush plane.
Outfitted with large control surfaces, the Bushwacker delivers impressive 3D aerobatic performance for pilots who love aggressive maneuvers. Want to push STOL performance even further? Simply split each aileron in half to create functional flaps, allowing for incredibly short takeoffs and slow, controlled landings.
Designed for intermediate to advanced pilots, the FT Bushwacker is capable of most aerobatic maneuvers when paired with the Power Pack C V.2. Whether you’re flying off rough terrain, practicing precision landings, or throwing down high-energy aerobatics, this plane is ready for the challenge.
Compatible with the Flite Test Swappable Series developed by Josh Bixler, the FT Bushwacker is a tough, adaptable aircraft that delivers big performance in a compact, go-anywhere package.

FT Bushwhacker
My first FT build. Decently easy build. Flies great. Easy to learn on and it handles crashes. Mine did a nose dive from 100 feet when the adapter I was using broke. The only damage was a broken propeller. Highly recommended to anyone who has some four channel experience. Can be flown as a beginner airplane, stol airplane or as decent 3d trainer.
