XP-5

20070418-xp5-01-ben-sm.jpg

The Next Generation in the XP Series

Totally redesigned for maximum launch height and even better handling!

Wing

  • Completely new 3-panel design
  • Reduced area and different sweep distribution allows for more aft peg placement for better launch!
  • New, very thin, light wingtips allow for even better handling and better wind penetration!

Fuselage

All of this combines for state-of-the-art, competition-ready planes that can be built in the 8 ounce range. Early production ships ranged in weight from 8.5 to 8.8 oz, depending on builder. Denny’s “heavy” plane weights 8.75oz! These weights can be attained by using our custom 250mah battery packs, Polk x-Micro 4.7g servos, Hitec Electron 6 receivers and our switch-jacks.
