A pilot may own many planes, but there's always one that stands out as the all-time favorite. And that's what the Escapade was meant to be. Any pilot who's mastered a trainer can fly it with confidence -- and any pilot who's flown it once will want to fly it again. Easy handling and aerobatic performance are two good reasons. Assembly ease and incredible value -- and mounts for both glow and electric power -- make it a hands-down choice now and a take-along favorite anytime.
- Assembles in just 4-6 hours -- and excels with 2-stroke, 4-stroke or brushless power!
- Time-savers include prehinged control surfaces, an assembled fuel tank and bolt-on wing and tail surfaces, landing gear and wheel pants.
- All control surfaces are prehinged.
- Ailerons can be set up for single-servo simplicity or dual-servo authority with no modification.
- Built-up airframe offers fast, bolt-together assembly and a striking MonoKote trim scheme.
- Other performance and appearance pluses: painted fiberglass wheel pants; a painted pilot bust; aluminum landing gear; easy-access LiPo battery hatch; steerable tailwheel assembly; and easy-to-install mounts for glow engines and brushless motors.
All control surfaces are prehinged! The ailerons can be set up for one- or two-servo operation, without modifications. | The two-piece wing assembles quickly, providing accurate alignment automatically. |
Bolt-on tail surfaces drastically cut assembly time! | The fiberglass wheel pants are factory-painted to match the MonoKote trim scheme. |
The Escapade performs well with glow or electric power, and either power option installs with virtually "foolproof" ease. Included mounts are drilled to make many installations drop-in simple. | Removing the factory-built battery "hatch" also gives you easy access to onboard gear. Magnets in the hatch and fuselage provide a strong bond and a simple way to reattach the hatch after use. |
The Escapade is covered in a one-of-a-kind MonoKote trim scheme — and complemented by painted wheel pants. |
"No matter how many planes you own, there's always one that stands out as your all-time favorite to fly. We designed the Escapade to be that plane, and made it an ARF so more pilots can enjoy it!"
