Overview

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.

Note

Please check your local council or flying club for laws regarding recreational flying before your first flight.

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.

This design facilitates a quick setup at your flying site.

Raw Power and Sound
