The easy, affordable way to enjoy big jet excitement!
Like the original, the Patriot XL offers the hot pilot an irresistible combination: the exhilaration of jet-like speeds and looks matched to the building ease and affordability of other Great PlanesÆ kits. Designed for .60-size excitement, the Patriot XL avoids the costs and complexity of traditional ducted fan jets by relying on familiar sport techniques for building and a front-mounted glow engine for speed.
Rockets into express-elevator climbs to the roof ù then dives for screaming high-speed passes that exceed 100 mph!
Excels on the power of a .90 and builds with the speed and ease of Great PlanesÆ best engineering.
Fuselage and wing build flat on the boards from interlocking wood parts that ensure strength, straightness and perfect alignment.
Unique turtledeck builds onto the finished fuselage, and transforms the space underneath into a strong, secure location for a retract air tank.
Photo-illustrated instructions simplify every building step, from installing dual aileron servos in each wing half to the addition of optional flaps and optional retracts.
Also included: full-sized plans and a generous Great PlanesÆ hardware package that includes a clear canopy and fixed trike gear.
