VFO Vertical Flying Object
from
ARTF Electric Sport/3D Aerobat

The hybrid that's part plane, part heli and all fun!
Buy the VFO and you can say goodbye to building, big investments and boring, cookie-cutter looks. Once it's out of the box, it's only about an hour from being ready for its first flight. Take it to the field and other pilots will be fascinated by its looks and amazed the by the way it performs. It takes off like a rocket, hovers like a heli and flies like plane - and does all three on low-cost packs and components.

* Super for sport, 3D stunts and learning how to hover!
* Super-stable, aerobatic!
* Made of lightweight, finished foam parts, for fast assembly and strong, simple structures!

Large, symmetrical flying surfaces produce amazing lift and superb stability. Simple carbon-fiber bracing provides virtually weightless support.

You can make the VFO flight at a crawl, or use the oversized control surfaces to perform harriers, prop hangs, high-alpha flight and other 3D stunts.

Almost any 3D airplane can do a Wall, but the VFO is one of the few that can follow that with a back flip!

Servo cutouts and easy-to-use pushrods cut installation time and effort. You can be ready for lift-off in under an hour.

Like everything else, the VFO's motor mount goes together quickly and easily. Adding a RimFire™ 300 outrunner provides plenty of power for forward flight and 3D fun.
