HobbyKing™ Ionos F3A Pattern Plane Balsa 1500mm (ARF) (US Warehouse)

Description

The HobbyKing™ Ionos F3A is our newest electric pattern plane designed specifically for practicing F3A precision maneuvers. The Ionos F3A arrives almost ready to fly meaning most of the major work is completed. All you need to do is complete final assembly, add your choice of electronics, motor and battery, then go fly. The built up balsa and plywood airframe is light weight and strong. A very rigid model that produces crisp response reducing the pilot's workload.

The long tail moment of the Ionos F3A gives it on rails performance, tracking well through all the up and downlines. Rugged aluminum landing gear has been kept low profile to aid in better ground handling, and reducing drag. Since precision is the name of the game in pattern aerobatics, the extra details we have added include tail mounted rudder and elevator servos for short, direct pushrod linkages, ball links on all control rods, and airfoiled control surfaces whiich makes them quite rigid.

The Ionos F3A was designed at the outset for electric and has a well designed motor mounting box, as well as a channel to allow cooling air to exit the motor bay easily. This is the perfect location to mount your ESC. The large fuselage top hatch allows you to quickly access your receiver, check wing bolts or change batteries in a matter of seconds. Speaking of wings, the Ionos F3A has a 2-piece plug in variety making transport a breeze.
