UpStar ARF


UpStar ARFUp, Up and Away!

The UpStar ARF offers you the low-stress way to learn to fly! It features an ultra-durable blow molded fuselage that can withstand many less-than-perfect landings, and the wing has built-in polyhedral to increase stability — a plus for inexperienced pilots. The built-up balsa wing and tail help keep weight to a minimum, and are covered in high-quality heat shrink film with a great, easy-to-see trim scheme. A simple hand launch is all it takes to send the UpStar ARF aloft to start chasing thermals!

  • Includes a 540-size motor, ESC, 8-cell 1800mAh NiMH battery pack and folding prop!

  • Flight ready in only 3-4 hours.

  • Perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon flights!

inset 1 The included power system features a motor, ESC and battery pack that are all performance-matched for optimum flight times. The folding propeller reduces drag in flight, and helps avoid damage when landing.
The rubber band-on wing features built-in polyhedral, which increases stability and helps to level the plane after a turn.

Your radio system's onboard gear fits easily inside the Upstar ARF's spacious radio compartment, and it will accept low-cost, readily available standard servos.
