Foxtrott 2.7

The Foxtrott 2.7 is an easy to fly and build 2.7m (107″) span all wood kit. Substantially larger than a 2m model it has a great presence in the air and a performance to match. The three piece wing has generous dihedral for good stability and ailerons and spoilers for good control, safe dethermalising and easy landings.

The good sized fuselage uses a nicely shaped balsa pod with a carbon tube boom to minimise weight and wetted area. The wing has a balsa sheeted Dbox front part for good torsional strength.

The Foxtrott comes with all hardware and a superb full size plan and build manual (in German).
