Pilot-RC Extra NG 78" (1.97m) – 3D Aerobatic RC Airplane

The Pilot-RC Extra NG 78" (1.97m) is a high-performance 3D aerobatic RC airplane designed for experienced pilots who demand precise control, responsive handling and excellent manoeuvrability.

Featuring Pilot-RC's hybrid construction, this 78-inch Extra NG combines structural strength with low weight. Its design supports demanding 3D manoeuvres, including harriers and torque rolls, while offering precise control for traditional aerobatics.

The model features a quick-release system for the wings, stabilizer and canopy, making assembly, transport and access to the airframe more convenient.

Designed for a suitable 30–40cc gasoline engine or an equivalent electric power system, the Extra NG 78 is an excellent choice for pilots looking to build a high-performance aerobatic aircraft to their preferred specification.
