RC Factory Flash 39" Reloaded

The original Flash from RC Factory survived several iterations and was widely regarded as one of the best and most high-capable 3D EPP aeroplanes there was, let alone a great trainer. Since the last Flash model circa. 2013, both RC Factory and Twisted Hobbys have made a lot of improvements not only in terms of materials used but more importantly wing profiles, overall ease of assembly and the fine tuning needed to get these planes to fly like they do – not only do you have the inherent forgiving nature of almost indestructible EPP for easy repairs and ‘bouncability’ but the low AuW and pussy cat handling make these planes a favourite flyer even among experienced pilots. Despite being targetted at the 3D end of the flying spectrum, many pilots have praised the pattern-line ability of these planes. Not everyone wants to fly 3D and fear not, because smooth pattern-like aerobatics are well within the repertoire of this aircraft and the flexible CoG placement means switching between being a hooligan and a precision swordsman is only a few millimetres away!

This plane is a perfect step between your aileron trainer and your next balsa/ply built-up plane. If you crash, you will probably only break a prop! The airframe can easily be repaired using standard cyano glue or UHU Por. Please do not use foam-safe cyano as it does not provide good adhesion with this type of EPP.
