VMAR: Hornet

Model Airplane News, Apr 2004

With its semisymmetrical wing, this sport trainer is the ideal second model for pilots who want to try aerobatics. Its all-wood construction is durable enough to handle less-than-perfect landings, and its super-tough Polycote ECS polyester covering has highly visible graphics embedded in it (no decals that might lift off!).

It comes out of the box with all the control surfaces installed and pinned and with all the required hardware, including a servo tray, installed control rods, a spinner and landing gear. The installed engine mount will fit most popular .46s, including the VMAX .46 and .52 Pro engines. Available in blue and red trim schemes, the Hornet costs just $89.95. Specs: wingspan-63.25 in.; wing area-730 sq. in.; length-48 in.; weight-6.25 to 6.5 lb.; 4 channels. VMAR; distributed by Richmond RC Supply Ltd. (604) 940-1066; richmondrc.com.
