  • Durable EPO foam construction: Lightweight yet rugged — easy to transport and forgiving for beginner usage.

Why It’s a Great Choice

Whether you’re just starting out or already comfortable with basic flying and looking to progress, the Easy Trainer 1280 strikes an excellent balance:

  • As a trainer: The stable EPO foam airframe and pusher layout make take-offs, landings and general handling more forgiving.

  • As a glider/advance platform: With ailerons and glider-style wing = you can start exploring more advanced manoeuvres, thermal-soaring or FPV setups.

  • Transport-friendly size: 1280 mm wingspan is large enough for visible flight performance, but not so giant that it becomes a hassle to carry or transport.

  • Plug-and-play RTF: You get all the essentials in the box — great for making your first flights quickly.

  • New RC airplane pilots seeking a ready-to-fly model that’s safe and manageable.
