This design really surprised me. So many airplanes I’ve loved and wanted to design were simply not possible until I found the Xfly 40mm EDF and the 4.3g servos. Because of these fantastic components we can design models like the C-17.
The C-17 is only 40” x 40” and only weighs 1040g ready to fly. Extremely compact and manageable. It hand launches very easily and lands slow and light enough to not tear itself apart.
This is the Basic Version! You get:
Ailerons
Elevator
Rudder
It flies fantastic and builds extremely easy.
In about 10-14 days we will release the Thomas Heuer edition. The price for this edition will be $22. That edition will include:
- working cargo door
- landing gear with steerable nose gear
- flaps!
- Scale winglets
- Cable duct from the tail for snag free parachute drops!
- more scale features on the body like doors and panels
- instructions will be included
