| Hacker Model Production |
| Helio Courier ARF Electric Flyer |
 |
| Modeled after the full size homebuilt airplane, Hacker's
Helio Courier duplicates the easy flying nature of this outstanding design. A large, flat
bottom airfoil wing gives beginner pilots time to think and react to the
movements in the air. Using an electric motor, the Helio can be flown just about
anywhere. Plus, you can convert it into a nitro-powered version with just a few
simple modifications as shown on the plans. |
|
| This Almost Ready To Fly model is hand assembled using only the finest balsa and
ply woods, then expertly covered in lightweight Easycoat polyester film for an outstanding finish. A decal set allows you to trim out your Helio just like the
box top. All control surfaces are pre-hinged, ready for installation. A complete electric powered hardware package is included with a molded cowl, wheels,
landing gear wires, control horns, pushrods, clevises and much more. |
