FT Slow Stick S250
The FT Slow Stick S250 is inspired by the classic early electric flier, GWS Slow Stick, which was the entry point for many new pilots. We wanted to take that iconic plane from the past and bring it back to life. The FT Slow Stick S250 was designed to introduce you to the DIY building and 3D printing space. It offers a great flight experience wrapped up in a sub-250-gram aircraft that can be flown without regulations. This design is perfect for new pilots and those looking for a relaxing flight in their backyard or even a large gym.
FT B-25 Mitchell
The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William “Billy” Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. In honor of the original, the FT B-25 Mitchell takes the prestigious history and identifiable airframe characteristics and combines them to make a pleasurable building and flying model. The FT B-25 can be powered on Power Pack B Twin or C Twin, depending on desired flight. One unique characteristic of the FT B-25 is its fully operational bomb hatch, that can use the extra servo of a power pack. There is also an optional landing gear that makes take-off and landing an enjoyable part of your experience.
FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey
The FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey MKR2 is a return to the golden age of model aviation with an FT Twist. Back when R/C was just a dream, and free-flight was the only option, designs that required extreme stability and gentle flight characteristics were a must. This is where Josh’s personal childhood memories and love of flying started with his dad. Classic designs like the Buzzard bombshell, the Powerhouse, and the Quaker shaped both his memories and knowledge of flight. The FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey MKR2, along with its larger version, are a mash-up of all those designs to both honor them and to create a truly gentle and stable foam old-timer. This Mighty Mini version provides even more stability and smooth flight than the original. With a build time under 2 hours, and with the simple 3ch controls, you can enjoy classic maneuvers like loops, barrel rolls, wing overs, and so much more. The FT Mighty Mini Old Fogey MKR2 can be your first build, or one of many, with a weight under 250 grams.
FT 3D XL
The newly designed FT 3D XL MKR2 is the perfect entry aircraft into Aerobatics and 3D flight. Inspired from the classic FT 3D, the larger scale, and more capable version, was designed through a collaboration of Michael Bixler and Jason McQuiston. Both Jason and Michael have a love of extreme aerobatics and wanted a design that was would grow with pilots. Although the FT 3D XL MKR2 looks similar to the smaller original, many updates have been added to make this aircraft a great experience from building to flying. New features like wing plates and a removable wing and canopy make transportation and battery instillation a breeze. If you are looking for a great 3D flying experience that will go toe-to-toe with aircraft four times the cost, the FT 3D XL MKR2 is the perfect plane for you!
