The E-flite Carbon-Z Scimitar is true satisfaction for the RC pilot who desires flight performance and adrenaline pounding excitement previously thought impossible from a conventional aircraft platform. The fantasy-scale Carbon-Z Scimitar, designed by world aerobatic champion Quique Somenzini, bursts open the performance envelope with an evolutionary tailless swept wing. At the heart of the advanced Carbon-Z Scimitar is a specially tuned Q-Power system harnessed inside a revolutionary single-axis, vectored-thrust propeller system. In combination with the precision of carbon rod hinged elevons and twin rudders, a refreshing level of maneuverability can be explored after less than an evening’s worth of assembly time.

Features

• Dual rudder and vectored-thrust control on the yaw axis
• Exceptionally strong and lightweight Carbon-Z structure
• Digital high-speed servos installed
• Single screw access to the electronic equipment
• Effective front and side cooling inlets with interior venting
• High-quality socket-head hardware throughout
• Distinctive color scheme for superior visibility
• Ready to accept optional E-flite electric retracts (EFLG110)
• All components, including the nose and control surfaces, are easily replaceable
