Precision Aerobatics Bandit

Bandit - Bigger is Better!

The RC industry saw a quantum leap in flying when 3D was introduced
some years ago. Now... The PA Bandit represents the first model to bring a new style of flying to the RC arena - it's a 3D RACER!

Inspired by Red Bull Air Race we bring you a model that is not another Edge, Extra or a YAK – it is a completely original design that is extremely detailed and gives you the feel of a full size plane, although it is not based on an existing one.

What do we mean by “3D Racer”? The Bandit is capable of every aerobatic flying style you wish it to perform. It is capable of high speed precision flight, yet it will slow down to crawl-speed to land and will do helicopter-like elevators that will drop straight down with no wing rock, also high alpha knife edge or harriers. The Bandit also excels in high energy tumbles - fast roll rate, excellent crisp snap rolls and high speed sharp turns (like those seen on the Red Bull Air Race), extremely tight knife edge spins, flat spins and spectacular waterfalls. So you get an aggressive airplane when you want it to be aggressive and a very tame airplane when doing slow maneuvers, meaning an ultra-wide aerobatic envelope.

We have achieved the versatility of this plane by extreme lightweight, sophisticated aerodynamic design, specially designed vortex generators, custom designed airfoils (including fully airfoiled tail section), extremely responsive control surfaces and excellent power to weight ratio.

Our chief designer set a goal to bring the two worlds together that has never been done before. His fresh approach translates to a dramatically expanded flight envelope (especially in a plane of this size) that will keep challenging you. What it can do is only limited by the Pilot's imagination and proficiency because when it comes to the Bandit, YOU call the moves.

Please Note: the Carbon Fiber 2.17" (57mm) Spinner and Vortex Generators are not included in the kit.

• Pre installed CF anti rotation pins
• Fiberglass pre cut cowling reinforced with carbon fiber. No cutting is required! The cowling aerodynamic design (intakes, outtakes), clever motor box design and two large air scoops allow airflow to efficiently cool the motor, battery and ESC.
• Pre-fabricated tinted canopy and hatch is one unit attached to the model with very strong magnets. No canopy trimming or gluing is required.
• Pre-drilled stiff CF landing gear and pre-installed blind nuts in the fuselage allow a quick and trouble free undercarriage installation.
• Extremely robust Pre glued motor box with the correct thrust line already built in.
• CNC Machined pre cut firewall. Simply bolt your motor on!
• CNC machined metal clevises and German made ball links for smooth and safe control
• Pre cut fiberglass wheel pants with ply mounting plate (pre-installed in the mould)
• The brief assembly is a joy and most modellers will have it set up in one evening.
