With bolt-together assembly, the Escapade™ .61 ARF is a breeze to build – and so enjoyable and affordable, pilots will want to fly it every chance they get! The original Escapade has been a favorite with flyers for years, and the Escapade .61′s larger dimensions will allow pilots to enjoy even more stability and visibility when performing sport aerobatics. This Escapade includes motor mounts that make installation of either glow or electric power drop-in easy. With a .61 two-stroke fliers have a great second plane for low-wing sport maneuvers, while a .91 two-stroke delivers the power for higher speeds and vertical performance. Electric modelers will enjoy the Escapade equipped with a clean and quiet outrunner brushless motor. Other features include:

• The three-line fuel tank is preassembled, plumbed and pre-mounted.
• Not only is the pilot figure included, it comes already painted and installed.
• The bolt-on tail surfaces are a huge time-saver because they self-align and even the control horns are pre-installed.
• The control surfaces are pre-hinged which speeds final assembly by eliminating gluing.
• The two-piece wing is another convenience feature. The wing attaches to a joiner tube, simplifying building as well as transportation.
• The fiberglass cowl and wheel pants complement the Escapade .61′s built-up wood construction and are painted to match the trim scheme.

ElectriFly® has captured the unique look of the aerobatic champion Yak-55M in a 51″ wingspan electric ARF! There aren’t very many models based on the Yak-55M, so pilots will stand out at the flying field with this E-Performance Series ARF.

Pilots want to fly just as soon as the thought strikes them – and that’s just one reason why this ready-to-fly electric is sure to be popular with modelers. Assembly is complete in record time; just five minutes from start to finish. And convenience is tops: everything’s in the box, leaving nothing left to buy. The Extra 300 comes with a LiPo flight pack and charger, plus a 2.4GHz radio system and “AA” batteries. Once the pack’s charged and the “AA” cells are in the radio, there’s nothing between a pilot and a first flight except a takeoff! The 2.4GHz radio is just one feature that makes the Extra 300 an affordable, all-in-one package for any pilot. Channel-hopping technology offers pilots freedom from interference worries, even when flying with friends or at a crowded field. Dual rates make it a good choice for aerobatic beginners as well as old pros. Pilots can switch from “New Pilot” settings to “Experienced Pilot” rates in-flight, and with nothing more than a push down on the stick! Revolutionary features also make the Extra 300 a standout in durability and damage-resistance. With its FlightFlex™ foam airframe and exclusive SafeProp™ propeller, the Extra 300 lets pilots devote their full attention to flying and never give flyability a second thought.

• SafeProp Protection – a Cox exclusive – lets the prop pop off on impact, to protect the prop, the motor shaft and the rest of the plane. And reinstalling the prop is easy: it goes on as easily as comes off, so pilots can be back in the air fast!
• The FlightFlex airframe virtually eliminates damage from hard landings because it flexes on impact, absorbing crash energy and protecting the electronics inside. Pull the airframe straight, smooth away wrinkles and it’s ready for flight again.
• The included 2.4GHz radio offers full, 4-channel control and today’s most dependable technology in a compact, comfortable handful. And with dual rates as a bonus, it’s a system that pilots can “recycle” and use with other planes in the future.

For the best in fast, easy aerobatic flying, go for the best that R/C has to offer: the Cox Model Extra 300 EP RTF.

The company that helped thousands discover model aviation through U-control flying is back with a revolutionary new ready-to-fly electric for R/C: the Sky Ranger! Once the box is open, it takes only five minutes to complete assembly. And it’s so complete that there’s nothing left to buy. It includes “AA” batteries for the 2.4GHz radio, as well as a charger for the LiPo flight pack. The three words that best describe the Sky Ranger are “easy-does-it.” That’s because once it’s in the air, the Sky Ranger makes it easy to pick up the basics – fast! Its stability makes it a great choice for first-time pilots. And with its durable FlightFlex™ airframe and exclusive SafeProp™ propeller, hard landings are nothing to worry about.

• SafeProp Protection – a Cox exclusive – lets the prop pop off on impact, preventing damage to the prop, motor shaft and the rest of the plane. It’s effective protection and simple to reinstall. It pops on as easily as it pops off, so pilots can be back in the air in just seconds.
• FlightFlex construction allows the Sky Ranger to bend instead of breaking. The resilient foam airframe flexes on impact, so it absorbs crash energy and protects the electronics inside. Just straighten out the airframe and you’re good to go again!
• The cutting-edge technology of the included 2.4GHz radio enables pilots to fly with friends without worrying about radio interference. However, it’s more than a 3-channel system for first-time flyers; it’s also a system that “grows” with the pilot. Controls can be reset from “New Pilot” to “Experienced Pilot” rates, simply by pushing down on the stick.

For the best in FastEasyFlying™, there’s only one way to go: the electric Sky Ranger RTF from Cox Models.
