This aircraft operates as both a motorized glider and a plane. The huge wingspan in combination with lightweight construction and the powerful 380 Mabuchi type motor provide terrific lift. Once airborne at high altitudes simply use the variable speed control on the transmitter to adjust throttle speed or simply turn it off completely glide and collapse the prop in flight for maximum airborne flight time!
Features:
- Full 3 Channel capability with a variable speed throttle control
- Digital proportional standardized radio control system.
- Motor controller has a sensitive reaction, has a low voltage drop and strong anti-interference.
- Interchangeable crystals are available on 3 separate frequencies making for trouble free competition or flights with pilots who have planes up concurrently.
- Newer high performance turbo 380 motor that uses low electric current while maximizing power.
- Easy for a beginner to operate because it is lightweight yet has a sturdy construction.
- Reversible rudder and elevator controls.
- Battery: New and improved Ni-Mh (8.4V) for longer lasting flight time.
- Neck-strap holder pre-installed on all radio transmitters.
- Tow holes included under nose.
- Excellent high altitude slow gliding/soaring. Extraordinarily stable to use as a UAV (un-manned aerial vehicle). The plane can naturally take on the added weight of a micro-camera with just minor adjustments to it's center of gravity.
- Excellent gliding function. By adjusting the speed of the motor to a lower level of throttle, the prop will collapse in flight to reduce resistance and maximize aero-dynamics.

The main and tail wings attach easily so you can just charge the Ni-Mh battery flight pack and you are ready to fly within hours after you receive the package. The battery pack will get you about 10-12 minutes of flight time (more if you adjust the throttle down or off at high altitudes and start gliding). The fuselage and tail boom is made of durable sturdy hard poly plastic and the wings are made of light weight molded and coated reinforced foam. The control rods are steel and are pre-attached to the servos so other than attaching the wings and charging the battery you are ready to fly!
The plane operates on 3 channels: one channel operates the elevator, a second channel operates the rudder and a third channel operates the throttle control with a variable speed control knob.
Beginners shouldn??t fly the 3-CH R/C Airplane in more than about 8 mph (13 kph) of wind. However experienced pilots should be able to fly the plane with confidence in 12-15 mph (19-24 kph) winds.
This plane is recommended for 14 years or older, as the thrust and power of the turbo 380 motor will easily pull out of a weak grasp. Also, this plane needs the full radius of it's 1600 foot (500 meter) distance of control. So the pilot definitely will need some unobstructed, cleared land in which to fly.
This auction includes an extra propeller for free too!
The 3-CH Slope Diver has successfully trained thousands of newbie radio controlled pilots worldwide. You'll be flying within minutes of receiving this fully built airplane enjoying over 12 minute flight times on a single charge thanks to our new improved 8.4 NiMH battery and ball bearing gear drive system. Equipped with a powerful variable speed electric motor, which starts with a push of a button, the Slope Diver is capable of take-offs from the ground with its 42" wingspan.
