FT Charlie MKR2
STEM RC Airplane Build Kit - Swappable Wings with FT Alpha and FT Bravo Kits
The FT Charlie aircraft is a quick and easy-to-fly RC plane build created by STEM students to showcase Flite Test curriculum and benefit Schools Take Flight.
FT Charlie MKR2
The FT Charlie is the most relaxed and beginner-friendly aircraft in the Triad Series. Designed to be quick to build and easy to fly, it’s the slowest and least aggressive of the Triad lineup—making it a perfect choice for newer pilots or anyone who enjoys smooth, predictable flight.
The FT Charlie is fully compatible with the FT Alpha and FT Bravo, featuring removable wings that can be swapped between all three Triad aircraft. This gives you up to nine different flight combinations from a single series of planes.
Wing swapping takes less than a minute and is secured with simple rubber bands, making changes fast and hassle-free right at the flight line. Best of all, the center of gravity never changes, no matter which wing combination you use—so there’s no need to rebalance before flying.
Pair it with the Power Pack F V.2 and 850mAh battery for an easy setup, excellent balance, and reliable performance. Whether you’re learning, relaxing, or swapping wings with friends, the FT Charlie delivers simple building, forgiving flight, and endless versatility.
