Multiplex Funcub XL Kit

If you're in need of a model for all occasions, they rarely come more versatile than this. Glider towing, parachute and toffee dropping, water flying, and even full-house aerobatics, the FunCub XL does it all, with style and good looks.

A large multi-function high-wing aerobatic tug, that doubles as a versatile sportster cum sport aerobat, the FunCub XL boasts an incredible short take-off and landing (STOL) capability and, what's more, with its large, soft, tundra tyres it copes with any terrain, and can be flown just about anywhere. Truth is, the kit version of this all-purpose hack will not only delight you with its performance, but its high-level of pre-fabrication, too.

To fly the model you will need a minimum seven-channel radio control system, a suitable receiver, six Hitec HS-225 BB servos, the FunCub XL power set and two 3S LiPo batteries of 3200 mAh capacity. The Elapor model features some beautifully subtle detailing, including very elegant LED covers for the optional lighting system which, as you can imagine, is a real eye-catcher. Also included, as standard, is an aero-tow release and a large load bay for which a matching parachutist (# 852004) is also available. Note that if you wish to use the supplementary functions, you will need a radio control system with at least ten channels.

A series of very sophisticated design details are a distinctive feature of the FunCub XL, which sets new standards in its class. For example, 'M-frame technology' ensures an extremely robust fuselage, while strong, lightweight carbon fibre tubes do the same for the wings. The aircraft also includes offset landing flaps and struts with quick-release fittings for fast, ultra-simple rigging at the field.
