FOR EXTENDED FLIGHT

made of molded polystyrene foam and plastic
with factory-decorated finish. Wings. tail group
and landing gear remove for convenient trans–
portation. Snap-in radio installation.

your own skill determines how long you stay up.
With practice. a good pilot can manage up to 20
minutes of gliding flight.
A giant. 70-inch wingspan produces plenty of
lift. while the two-channel radio-control allows
use of both rudder and elevator to give you the
fine control needed for performing tricky maneu–
vers. The radio contro l's digital-proportional
sticks help add realism to your flight . . use a
light touch for fine course adjustments or a
"'heavy hand"' to bank. dive or roll. Sportavia has
the capability to perform almost any maneuver
you care to try!
