Sean Foleyon E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m BNF Basic Electric Airplane (2149mm)

One of the best airplanes Ive had in over 20 years in the hobby. Will fly stol, sport and 3D all in one. Re power it with a power 60 and talon 90 and you'll have a beast of a plane.

Paul Hammonon E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m BNF Basic Electric Airplane (2149mm)

This plane was easy to put together, and fly. Would order another one in a Heartbeat!!
