Why this model is interesting
STOL aircraft make the fun happen close to the ground: short approaches, steep climbs and rough landing strips. This model family is interesting because its small size allows varied places to fly, but the low-level maneuvers are demanding.
We evaluate this aircraft from published manufacturer information, known configuration differences and what shoppers need to verify. This is a research-based buying review; no hands-on test or flight measurements are claimed.

The equipment you might still need
The visible price of an aircraft is not always the flying price. Compare the transmitter, charger, compatible batteries, spare propellers and shipping separately. In particular, BNF Basic packaging can vary between sellers and generations; use the exact product code to confirm contents.
Editorial illustration: check parts compatibility before checkout.The used-buying inspection
- Check whether the airframe has early or Evolution electronics and label.
- Confirm the radio protocol is compatible with your transmitter.
- Inspect struts, landing gear and propeller for hard-landings.
- Verify the exact tiny battery connector and cell count.
Ask sellers about crashes and any repairs, request close-up photographs of the actual aircraft and accessories, and examine return terms. The lowest asking price is not necessarily the best value when batteries, transmitter or common repair parts are missing.
WHAT WORKS ON PAPER
- Distinctive STOL handling and oversized-tire look
- AS3X and optional-use SAFE assist
- Small storage footprint
THE TRADE-OFFS
- Not a full beginner-ready package
- Very light airframe can be wind-affected
- Battery/connectors can be easily mismatched
