Description

Enjoy the perfect introduction to low-wing flight with optimal manoeuvrability for loops, rolls, and other stunts with this new addition to the Kyosho Calmato Alpha 40 Sports line-up. Calmato series DNA runs thick in this model to deliver unrivalled stability. Film covering is upgraded from PVC to superior-quality reverse-side printed Toughlon, offering improved durability and lighter weight. Urethane clear coating can also be applied to prevent wrinkling over long time periods and unlike PVC films, dry-type cover film can also be applied for damage repairs. The fuselage features the Calmato's unique EP/GP convertible design that requires no gluing to dramatically reduce assembly time. The popular red colouring pattern allows colouring on upper and lower surfaces to be changed to improve visibility when flying, and the exquisite finish replicates competition model standards.

Durable Toughlon Film
Durable Toughlon Film

The advanced glow fuel-resistant printed Toughlon film covering offers superior resistance to wrinkling and sagging compared to standard PVC film. This feature ensures that your model retains its pristine appearance and structural integrity over time, even with regular use and exposure to glow fuel, keeping it looking sharp.

Flexible Power Choices
Flexible Power Choices

The convertible design of this model allows you to choose between an electric motor or a glow fuel engine as your preferred power source. If you value quiet flight and a clean, oil-free experience, the EP (electric power) specification is the ideal choice for you, offering a serene and hassle-free flying experience.

Streamlined Setup and Storage
Streamlined Setup and Storage

The main wing halves are securely connected using aluminium pins, which simplifies assembly. The independent left and right aileron servos provide precise control and enhance compact transportation, allowing for easy storage and transport of the model. This design facilitates a quick setup at your flying site.

Raw Power and Sound
Raw Power and Sound

If you appreciate the distinctive sound of an exhaust note and the raw power of an engine, the GP (glow power) specifications are tailored for you. This option delivers an immersive and visceral flying experience, allowing you to truly feel the engine's power as you take to the skies for a classic RC adventure.
