The
biplane that dominated the Reno Air Races,
designed in cooperation with the original
flying team. Enjoy the breathtaking
racing performance of 70-class power! With repeated
victories in the biplane-class, Phantom has dominated all rivals at the famed Reno
Air Races. As a biplane, the aggressive form of Phantom has been especially designed for peak air racing
performance. The focus on speed and turning control
has resulted in a scaled down model that delivers the full-size flying experience. From the start of the 2007 Reno Air Races,
the original flying team proudly
wears the Kyosho logo as a sign of Kyosho’s sponsorship and the close
collaboration in model design.
Naturally these graphics are included on the 70-class model as well. The FRP fuselage combines with balsa main and tail
wings to realize an optimal lightweight structure. While the wing
has a slightly larger leading edge radius than the
original plane, it also produces low speed stability
and stall characteristics that you wouldn’t expect from a racer. Almost completely pre-built, there aren’t many steps
needed for the finishing touches so intermediate
to advanced fliers will find
themselves airborne in a relatively short period of time. While still regarded as a middle size, there is plenty of power and performance to experience the true excitement
of air racing battles.
