Convert to Electric

Advance to aerobatics the easy, proven way!

Step up from your basic trainer and start learning to fly thrilling aerobatics—today. Hobbico's Avistar with MonoKote makes your transition unusually smooth, fast and simple. It's factory-built from top-quality, all-wood parts, and also professionally precovered using Top Flite MonoKote...the world's finest film!

  • Smooth, predictable flight characteristics help you learn new skills with confidence.

  • Comes 90% prebuilt, with all main assemblies precovered using MonoKote film.

  • High-quality AWARF (All Wood, Almost Ready-to-Fly) construction is easier to repair than plastic or foam.

  • Heavy-duty wing joiner and reinforced landing gear withstand aggressive flying and hard touchdowns.

  • Includes a generous package of Great Planes®-brand hardware, with wheels, fuel tank, engine mount, pushrods and spinner.

Parts layout
Simply glue the Avistar's prebuilt sections together and install your engine and radio. In as little as 15-20 hours, you can be ready to start exploring aerobatics!

Airfoil Diagram
Though ideal for slow, stable flight, a basic trainer's flat-bottom airfoil limits aerobatic ability. The Avistar's semi-symmetrical airfoil offers greater agility—while its high wing mounting continues the in-flight stability an predictable landing characteristics of your trainer.


Comes with the world's finest covering - expertly preapplied!
