TRIBUTE 3D & ULTIMATE 3D

Model Airplane News, Jun 2004

E-FLITE

These two light foam planes from E-flite are a snap to assemble and offer extreme 3D performance indoors and out! Torque rolls, elevators, harriers, rolling circles; if you have the thumbs, these flyers will deliver. Because they're so durable, they're ideal aerobatic trainers, too. Each comes with a 370 motor, a gearbox and a propeller that were designed specifically for it. Just assemble the foam parts, install your 4-channel radio system, and you'll be at the field in a few hours. Ultimate specs: wingspan-28 in.; length-29.5 in.; wing area-436.6 sq, in.; weight-9 oz. Tribute specs: wingspan-37 in.; length-27.5 in.; wing area-374.6 sq. in.; weight-9 oz. Both planes come with a detailed 3D flying and setup guide.
