FT Sportster Value Bundle
Our hope is that the FT Sportster will be fun for both the beginner looking to get into 4-channel flight, and also the advanced pilot looking to reenact all the classic barnstormer maneuvers from the past. This plane does not like to fly alone. Our hope is that this will be a design that friends build and fly together.
The FT Sportster is designed to fly on our C motor (or 2215) coupled with a 2200 3-cell battery gives great performance and a nice flight time. The outer wing tips of the FT Sportster are under compared so slow speed and stability are not compromised. This plane is able to turn on a dime and can handle many classic and advanced maneuvers. Remove the landing gear for an easy hand launch or find some smooth grass and do lazy touch and go's.

Ready to Race!
I built the mini Sportster about 3 years ago and loved how well it handled wind. I always wondered how the big one would fly. My buddy added a RimFire motor to his and it flies like a modern Reno air racer. I love the complete kit, but this can easily be up-motored with a 60amp speed control to handle 60-80 mph! It’s a great build and an easy flier as is. Fantastic kit!

Sportster Value bundle
The Value bundle was the real deal
complete with good wheels, props
motor, servos, and motor.
It was an easy build and flew with no
trim adjusted needed. It is fully
aerobatic, but with a 6mph
headwind it would almost hover
Great buy and a fun plane
