An advanced trainer with sport plane performance
When you've learned the ropes and you're ready to move up to a plane with more maneuverability; the Avistar Elite ARF is the bird for you. This plane has high-wing design to make it easier to handle. It also has a semi-symmetrical airfoil so you can perform more aerobatics than with many trainers!
The Avistar ARF is also customizable. Assembly is still easy and glue free, but with this plane you can choose between glow and electric power. You can also choose to install flaps on your craft for additional maneuvering options. In all, the planes modular construction speeds assembly and makes replacement or exchanging of parts a breeze.

Quick Assembly
The factory-built, modular components assemble quickly. Just add your own glow engine or electric power components.

On-board compartment
Your flight battery or fuel tank fits easily into this large, on-board compartment with magnetic hatch for easy access.

Glow or Electric Setup
A vibration-reducing IsoSmooth Engine Mount is supplied for glow engine installation. If you prefer electric power, the model also comes with an electric motor mount.
