U2R in Flight

(click for larger pic)

$94.95

The U2 is a very fast model which will certainly satisfy your need for speed, while looking deadly ominous in the air. Our U2 has proven performance in both frontside flying and DS (Dynamic Soaring).

Designed for speed, while still having scale looks, this model took 1st place in the Inland Slope Rebels Spring 2004 Warbird Slope race.

It banged around the turns and consistently pulled out ahead of all others winning every heat.*

The U2 is also the winner of the 2004 Inland Slope Rebels PSS Fest "Fastest Pass Contest" at 112 MPH FRONTSIDE !! It was competing against models from all the major manufacturers, and showed clearly it was the fastest and the best wing design for speed.

Similar to the Electron 60 DS, the U2 features a very stiff wing, and slender fuselage, easy to build and did we say....fast!!!

Make sure you view the video to see the extreme speed energy of our U2!
