RC Phoenix

This is the electric-powered version of the Phoenix ornithopter kit. Easy to build. Includes powerful electric motor and custom-made, pre-assembled gearbox.

For RC flying, you will need the Plantraco HFX900 RC system. This is sold separately, below, and includes transmitter/charger, Micro 9 receiver, 1.1 gram actuator, and 90 mAh lithium-polymer battery. RC Phoenix can be flown in a gymnasium or outdoors in good weather.

RC Phoenix weighs 15 grams (1/2 ounce) and has a 16 inch (40 cm) wingspan. White tissue wings can be decorated with permanent marker or inkjet.

RC Phoenix has slow, powerful wingbeats, quite unlike the mass-produced toys with their buzzy, insect-like flapping. The ability to fly in small spaces like your front yard also makes it a whole lot of fun!
