FEATURES: Fully-symmetrical NACA63014 Airfoil supports the most Extreme 3D
            moves, yet offers stability for low-speed landings.
          Three landing gear options: fixed tricycle, or tail dragger, or you
            can purchase retracts for improved aerodynamics.
          CAD-engineered, all-wood parts quickly align and interlock, creating
            the strength needed to withstand extra-aerobatic moves.
          Extra-wide CG range offers pilots more flexibility in "tuning"
            performance to preferences and needs.
          No specialty or digital servos required.
          HUGE Control Surfaces in the tail offer massive maneuvering power.
          The Elevators account for nearly HALF of the stab, the rudder,
            for almost 2/3 of the fin's surface area.
          The radio compartment is spacious and sized for easy installation
            of on board equipment.
          The adjustable engine mount will adapt to any engine in the
            recommended range.
