Overview

  • Fly this tiny remote-control airplane with precision in any room 12' X 16'
  • Strong, flexible carbon-fiber frame adds sturdiness to flight
  • Flight simulator and computer interface included for PC flight training

Essential Info

Most remote-control airplanes are heavy and bulky and require acres of open space to fly and turn properly. But the Carbon Butterfly Indoor Flyer is the smallest and lightest ready-to-fly remote-control airplane available. At 3.6 grams, this tiny plane is small and light enough to maneuver around your living room, and the sturdy carbon-fiber frame adds durability to the device. Please note this is a toy for bigger boys, small children can enjoy watching the Butterfly fly but should not be allowed to pick it up, be mindful of pets as well as they are capable of causing damage. The included four-channel transmitter provides precise control for tight turns and slow flying. With some practice, your airspace need only be 12 feet by 16 feet. This tiny remote-control plane is powered by the included lithium-polymer battery. The receiver is powered by four AA batteries (sold separately).

    Plane Details
    The Carbon Butterfly Indoor Flyer remote-control airplane has a beautifully constructed delicate airframe along with a carbon-fiber propeller, a Swiss-engineered gearbox, and a tiny 4mm coreless motor. Control the RC airplane with the transmitter's two joysticks. The transmitter also includes a built-in portable charger for the remote-control plane's lithium polymer battery.

    Practice Flight Simulator Included
    This remote-control airplane kit comes with the freeware FMS R/C Flight Simulator and a computer interface cord, so you can plug the transmitter into your PC and learn to fly your RC airplane on your computer, crashing as many times as you want without doing any real damage. After you have mastered flying by radio control on the simulator, you'll be ready to try the remote-control airplane in the real world.

    Protective Briefcase Included
    The HingeAct magnetic self-centering actuator weighs only 0.22 grams, but is powerful enough to control the Carbon Butterfly precisely, providing an amazing 64 steps of full proportional resolution. A flashing light and audible tones let you know the status of the receiver in operation. Take the Carbon Butterfly Indoor Flyer with you to work, school, or on vacation. The included aluminum briefcase protects the remote-control airplane and transmitter from damage in transit.

    alittle complicated to use but not bad
    ROBERT -- hortonville, WI   5/20/2007
    The product is absolutely superb. I started in RC airplanes 4 months ago, never got any help from anyone, and this is the first plane that I have flown for over 2 minutes. I flew the Carbon Butterfly for 20 minutes in a gym. My friend, who has never flown before, took it off, flew a few laps in the gym, and landed it successfully. I have even flown it outside twice in still air, walking along side the plane as it flew. It is extremely delicate, but I have yet to have any damage. I can not express how happy I am with the Carbon Butterfly.
