Sebart SF-260 50E ARF, Red/White

The SIAI-Marchetti SF260 is an Italian light aircraft marketed as an aerobatics and military trainer. It was designed by Stelio Frati, originally for Aviamilano, which flew the first prototype of it on July 15, 1964. Actual production was undertaken when SIAI Marchetti purchased the design soon thereafter and continued with this firm until the company was bought by Aermacchi in 1997. The military versions are popular with smaller air forces, which can also arm it for use in the close-support role. The design employs a low-mounted cantilever wing and retractable tricycle undercarriage, and is often praised for its sleek lines and sporty appearance. The pilot and up to two passengers are accommodated under a broad, extensively glazed canopy. The structure is approved for acrobatics. SF260TP version, first flown in 1980, was using an Allison 250-B17D turboprop. 

The model: The SIAI-Marchetti SF260TP S 50E ARF scale, was designed by the 15 times Italian Champion Sebastiano Silvestri, vice-European Champion and 2 time F.A.I World Cup winner F3A. This professional ARF kit is the result of Sebastiano’s long research, experience in F3A and his passion for scale planes. This combined with an extremely light weight structure and with many small aerodynamic tricks give the SF260TP S 50E an impressive precision and easy control at any airspeed and flight condition. The SF260TP S 50E can do it all… it can start and land very easy on grass surface and with the factory installed electric retractable landing gear, light system, flaps, looks very scale on ground and in the air. The SF260TP S 50E is ready for any pattern manoeuvres as for unbelievable easy rolls, knife-edge pass, loops, spins, stall turn... and almost anything else you can dream up from a scale plane are waiting you! ….......the only limit is your fantasy!
