FOR EXTENDED FLIGHT

No building or gluing 1s required. Sportavia is

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.

Over three minutes of powered flight lets you

take Sportavia up to soaring height. After that.

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!
