First unveiled in 1985, Lancair homebuilt kits were winning awards at airshows all over the country
by the early 1990's. Great Planes' ARF version of the Lancair ES has many of the same attributes
as the aircraft that inspired it (including a classy appearance that looks fast even when sitting on
the ground). Basically any maneuver you can think of — loops, spins, snap rolls and inverted flight
— the Lancair excels at. You'll spend only 15-20 hours assembling this classic plane, which boasts
superior ARF construction throughout: quality woods, MonoKote® covering, and lots of strong,
lightweight fiberglass. Plus, the included Great Planes hardware adds to the plane's quality and
convenience. So, if you're the type of performance-hungry R/C pilot who's always on the lookout for
a plane with aerobatic potential, the Lancair is for you! It's sleek, it's speedy, and it's the first-ever
ARF model of this homebuilt classic!

The durable, tricycle landing gear with supplied
fairings allows easy ground handling, and matches
the style of the full-size Lancair ES. All three wheel
pants are made of lightweight fiberglass and
prepainted to match the color scheme.
In as little as 15-20 hours, the Lancair assembles
into a strikingly realistic, sport-scale plane featuring
attention-getting details like upswept wing tips,
tinted windows, and the fuselage panel lines
shown here.
An aluminum spar joins the Lancair's
horizontal stabilizers, which are
designed to be easily removed and
reattached for transporting convenience.
While the Lancair is capable of swift
flight, it also slows very well for landings
with flaps deployed. Its built-up, all-wood
wing is equipped with ailerons and flaps
and spans an IMAA-legal 80".
