HobbyZone Sky Surfer R/C
Para-Plane RTF - RC-HBZ 7800
The Sky Surfer is radio control (R/C)
paraplane that is very easy to fly. It is excellent for beginners.
The Sky Surfer's cruise speed is the manageable 7-10 mph range.
Its steering system allows positive and precise control during
maneuvers.
The canopy acts an airfoil during powered
flight. It also acts as a parachute during descent, providing
for gentle landings. This feature is particularly important in
the event of power loss or an adverse wind gust.
The photograph was taken over a park in
Mesa, Arizona.
The carriage suspended underneath the
canopy is called the gondola. The propeller is mounted in the
large ring attached to the gondola. The pilot figure is seated
at the front of the gondola.
The black wire dangling downward is the
antenna.
My three sons and I really enjoy flying
the Sky Surfer.
