The mini mako as a pint sized Mako with a
full size attitude. The mini was designed to be a trainer type plane
with the stable tracking and flight of its big brother the full size
Mako. It is made out of EPP foam so it is not meant for water. It is suited for indoor or outdoor flight off from a smooth
surface. It has a low self righting center of gravity that will right
itself when you get into trouble but still allow you to fly upside down
while practicing inverted flight and orientation. It will loop, roll and
tumble with its generous flight surfaces. This plane is meant to take a
pounding and come back for more making it a great beginner plane.
Flight attributes:
-
High alpha flight
-
Self righting low center of gravity
-
Nose stands (even wall stands and ceiling stands)
