Pilot RC Elster 3D FC-1 (Airframe/Retracts Only or RTF Complete With K260G4+)

The Pilot-RC FC1 is a collaboration with the undisputed pioneers of 3D jet flying from Elster Jet.

This model was purchased all new by Firebrand.

It is extremely well mannered in the air and very easy to fly.

The FC-1 ARF and custom JP retracts retail for $8700 inc GST (see Pilot RC Dealer NZ - Hobby Hangar)

This example has only had about 7 or 8 flights.

Unfortunately it suffered a low altitude flame out on its maiden and as a result of the very average skills of the pilot (that would be me, Steve!) required cosmetic repairs to nose cone, canopy, left retract mount and belly pan. 

As the photos show its still a stunning model, however obviously its no longer "mint" as a result of incident & repairs and price reflects this.

Model:FC1

Wingspan:74.8″ (1,900mm)

Length:120″ (3,055mm)

Wing area: 1,734″2 (11,190cm2)
