Competition flying can challange even the most confident pilots. In order to maintain a safe and percise flight with high climb and decent rates as well as strong wings, a special envelope shape is needed. Our eXtreme Racer series is designed specifically for such conditions, with larger models allowing for passengers to expirience the thrill of competitive flights.
