Experience a pure and precise flight with the Kyosho Calmato Alpha 40, a high-performance trainer optimised for clean and powerful electric flight. This aircraft is engineered for pilots who appreciate the crisp response of a traditional balsa airframe, powered by a potent 600-1000W brushless motor and a 4S 4000-5000mAh LiPo battery.
The Calmato’s design provides a predictable yet engaging flight character, perfect for building core piloting skills and mastering classic sport aerobatics. Its lightweight balsa fuselage is covered in a premium, printed Toughlon film that resists wrinkling and sagging far better than common PVC. For the serious modeller, convenience is key; the design is entirely glueless for a fast final assembly, and the 1600mm main wing is a two-piece design with aluminium pin joiners for easy transport to and from the field.
The Calmato Alpha 40 for electric power stands as a superb platform for rewarding, high-quality sport flying.
The model features an advanced glow fuel-resistant printed Toughlon film covering, which is specifically designed to be more resistant to wrinkling and sagging than conventional PVC film. This robust covering ensures the aircraft's finish remains smooth and taut, contributing to its aerodynamic efficiency and overall longevity.
This model offers the flexibility of a convertible design, allowing for either electric motor or glow fuel engine power. Opt for the EP specification if you prefer quiet operation and wish to avoid the mess associated with oil from glow fuel engines, providing a cleaner flying experience.
For pilots who enjoy the classic appeal of glow fuel, the GP (glow power) specifications are the perfect fit. Experience the satisfying sound of the exhaust note and the direct sensation of engine power, bringing a traditional and engaging element to your flying sessions.
The main wing halves are efficiently joined with aluminium pins, facilitating quick and secure assembly. Independent left and right aileron servos allow for compact transportation, making it simple to disassemble and pack the model for convenience without compromising control responsiveness.
