Solid core wing constructions with a 3-piece design. Solid core tail surfaces. 2-piece fuse design featuring a removable nose that can be trimmed at the shoulder to adjust CG. Rudder and elevator servos are installed under the wing in pockets molded into the fuse.
The servo bays in the wings are designed for Servorahmen IDS frames and the model can be ordered with frames and IDS supplied, or with frames and servos already installed. Servo choice is limited however.
We will have our pre-production model ready to fly soon and will start making flight reports and assembly notes.
Flightcomp will be the first vendor in the USA to receive the Prestige 2PK and if you would like to order a model please contact us!
