The Canadian CL-84 experimental aircraft, with its tilt-wing technology, is capable of vertical take-off and landing. The purpose of the experiment was to develope a multi-functional long-range high-payload aircraft which, similar to a helicopter, did not require a runway, and could attain the high speed of an aeroplane. The CL-84 led to a much greater understanding of V/STOL technology, and pilots found the aircraft easy to handle. The "convertible plane" concept was later partially incorporated in the V-22 Osprey. Just like the original, when hovering, the model´s rear engine is used to control the pitch attitude. It is also used to control the yaw motion, and the built-in 3-axis gyro system which was specially developed for the CL-84 continually steadies the aircraft in flight, providing excellent flight stability. During flight the complete wing can be tilted through 90°, allowing the model to be flown either as a helicopter or an aeroplane, just like the original. With the CL-84,Hobbico offers you the very first Rx-R model of a VTOL convertible plane, which is sure to attract astounded attention wherever you take it! Factory-installed RC components such as the three brushless motors, three brushless ESCs, and pre-adjusted special wing rotating mechanism not only simplify the building process, but also reduce the risk of assembly errors. This will also enable an inexperienced modeller to build the CL-84 in a short space of time, and quickly get airborne with this fascinating aircraft.Functions:Ailerons, elevator, motor, nosewheel, wing tilt, pitch, roll & yawRecommended accessories:TTX650 6-Channel 2.4 GHz Computerised RC SetElectriFly 4S 14.8V 2200 mAh Flight BatteryFeatures:Tilt-wing convertible plane constructed of AeroCell foamVertical take-off and landing with patented tilt-wing stabilising electronics3-Axis gyro stabilisedElectronic safety function prevents accidental motor startNavigation lightsShort building time thanks to extensive pre-assemblyRequired:6-Channel RC system4S Flight battery with 2200 mAh capacity
