Mini-Aeronca Champ RTF - HBZ4900i

Hobbyzone’s micro sized Aeronca Champ RTF offers modellers the chance to recreate those early days of aviation with this delightful little model.

This three-channel model is very easy to control and makes an ideal choice for beginners looking for an inexpensive way to get started in flying. Because of the plane’s
small size and lightweight durable construction it’s easy to fly in small spaces without the worry of crash damage.

Packed with a host of realistic features this it’s the perfect companion for indoor or very calm weather flying.

Constructed from injection moulded foam the Champ features a surprising amount of scale detail for such a small model; authentic colour scheme, scale wing rib detail and a counter balanced rudder with steerable tail wheel.

On-board the Champ’s radio system is equipped with
Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 technology, the same technology
trusted by experienced RC pilots around the world and
because DSM2 lets you enjoy complete freedom from
signal interference whenever or wherever you fly you and
your friends can enjoy flying together in the smallest of
indoor spaces, or outdoors in calm conditions.

And after you’ve taught yourself to fly you can use the
Champ transmitter to pilot some of the other superb
Bind-N-Fly ultra micro aircraft from ParkZone and Hobbyzone,
such as the Piper Cub, Ember or Vapor.

Aeronca Champ

Manufactured by the Aeronca Aircraft Corporation the Aeronca Champion more commonly known as the “Champ” first flew in 1944 and was designed as a light utility aircraft for flight training and personal use. Similar to the Piper Cub of the period it featured a welded metal tubing fabric covered airframe with strut braced wings, tandem seat cockpit and “tail dragger” landing gear. Unlike the Cub however the Champ with its wider cabin can be soloed from the front seat, giving improved forward visibility on the ground during takeoffs, landings and climb outs.
Produced between 1945 and 1950 and selling for a modest $2,095 the Champ proved to be a highly popular aircraft. So much so that Aeronca were producing 50 light aircraft per day and by the time production ended in 1951, the company had sold more than 10,000 Champions.
