PILOT RC JET 3M FC1 3D WITH RETRACT SCHEME 04

Elster Jet: FC1 3D – 3.05m

Pilot-RC is very proud to announce a new collaboration with the undisputed pioneers of 3D jet flying and designers of that very first 3D J10, Ralph and Enrico from Elster Jet.

This new collaboration has led to Pilot-RC to produce their latest design, the FC1.

Designed to be both precise and highly capable in normal aerobatics and also extremely agile and light for 3D flying. Elster’s background in 3D jet flying has led to a number of innovative solutions that assure a light, strong and extremely capable and fun new aircraft to fly.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model: FC1
• Wingspan: 74.8″ (1,900mm)
• Length: 120″ (3,055mm)
• Wing area: 1,734″2 (11,190cm2)
• Weight: 31-32.5lbs (14-14.7kg) with JetCat P220Rxi turbine and full UAT

FEATURES:

• German design, by Ralph and Enrico from Elster Jet, designers of the first J10’s
• Extremely lightweight full composite construction especially designed for outstanding 3D performance
• Painted outside the mold so no seam lines
• Ultra strong and light weight landing gear mounts, with factory installed blind nuts so mounting is just plug and play
• Split fuselage design is joined with 5 screws, with only batteries and nose gear installed in the front section, meaning very easy connections and quick assembly at the field
• Specially designed easy access to turbine for speedy installation
• Wings and elevator are secured from the top
• Removable wing and elevator for easy transport
• Please note that the FC1 is designed specifically for aerobatics and 3D vectored flight, with light weight being key. It is not designed to be used as a full power, high speed race plane.
