Product Information
The Pioneering E-Flite Leader
The Leader 480 RC plane from E-Flite is a park flyer that is easy to handle and guaranteed to impress. Similar to the Mini Pulse, this plane comes with a balsa/lightweight plywood construction covered in genuine Hangar 9 UltraCote. This gives you a light wing loading that will be helpful when flying on the slow side of the envelope. However, if you are keen to put the Leader 480 through its paces, its symmetrical airfoil and classic pattern plane lines allows you to perform incredible precision aerobatics. You will also notice that this RC plane, just like the Funtana, comes complete with a factory-painted fibreglass cowl, wire landing gear and easy-access magnetic canopy hatch. Best of all, the Leader 480’s two-piece wing construction with aluminium wing tube allows for quick and easy assembly. As an almost-ready-to-fly model, this plane can be flight ready in a single evening. All you need to do is supply the transmitter, propeller and electronics. Additionally, this sport plane is small enough to fit in the backseat or boot of a car and able to fly almost anywhere park flyers are allowed. Order the E-Flite Leader 480 today.
