KYOSHO JET SETTER HEATHER

Here's that famous country singer Heather Rose, who also works at Hobbico, and her personal Learjet. Heather's Lear, however, is an ARF manufactured by Kyosho and powered by two, electric, ducted-fan units. The high-lift, Clark-Y-airfoil wing is 57.5 inches in span and has 573.6 square inches of area. The wing loading of this one is reported to be light.

Just like those on Kyosho's other electric-fan models, the T-33 and F-16, the Lear's fuselage and wings are made of tough styrene foam and covered in a slick, glossy coat that eliminates the need to finish it.
