The Trendy is an ideal aileron trainer from FVK. It is a ready-built model - all you have to do is instal your radio and power set-up. The fuselage is white fibreglass with a removable nose cone for easy access.

The polyhedral wings are in two pieces and have ailerons and wing joiner already installed. They are covered in multi-coloured Orocover - the ailerons are already cut and hinged - wing servo boxes are installed and the servo cable fitted.

The V-tail plugs on and can be removed for easy transporting. This is a top quality FVK kit at a reasonable price. We are stocking the electric version with ailerons.

  • 1.74m wingspan
  • wing section SD-7055
  • kit weight 380g
  • flying weight electric 720g

  • R/C functions: rudder, elevator, ailerons, crow braking, motor control
  • radio mixing is required for the V-tail
