First published in 2006, Basic 3D is Mike Keay’s popular, easy-build, aerobatic trainer and 3D aerobat specifically designed to take a budding pilot from basic through to advanced aerobatics.
It can be built with a 52” or 58” span according to preference and, although designed for a .40 – .53 two-stroke engine, an electric conversion would be easy to accomplish too.
Mike’s accompanying build article is available to view and a laser-cut/cnc parts set and wood completion pack have just gone on sale at the RCM&E plans service.
