Overview

Designed by George Hicks and Jon Leyland, the Sobre 3D ARF has superb slow flight responsiveness so you can fly high-alpha 3D with authority. Its carbon fiber reinforced Depron foam construction provides the solid, precise feel of a balsa profile plane without the weight. This allows you to fly the Sobre 3D ARF outside in windier conditions that would keep most other profile foamies grounded. The Sobré 3D ARF is another exciting addition to E-flite’s outstanding line of electric RC aircraft and accessories.

E-flite uses top-quality engineering and materials in everything it makes, so you always get the maximum level of value and fun. E-flite backs all of its products with the best customer service and support in the hobby so your electric flight experience is always a positive one.
