Transport and store

The RVJET comes packed in a foam interior which can be used to 

transport and store your model in between flights

(when used with the long wings small adjustments are necessary)

Long wing

Wing span 1.95m. This configuration enables longer 

flight times and carrying capacity. It’s also easier to 

hand launch.

Short wing

Wing span 1.55m. This configuration 

enables faster response on the roll axis
