As an aspiring R/C pilot it’s important that your first aeroplane ticks a number of crucial boxes. In the first instance you need it to be easy to fly and forgiving of basic errors, but you also want it to be tough, able to withstand some punishment and totally reliable. In addition, a good flight duration, a basic aerobatic ability, speedy assembly, convenient transport, and easy storage will be high on your list. In short, a ‘beginner friendly’ aeroplane is what you’re looking for and the Arrows Prodigy is the perfect choice.
Supplied 100% factory-assembled, the Prodigy’s cleanly moulded EPO airframe is both strong and light, while the rear-mounted motor protects the power system from heavy landings. Offering superb low-speed handling characteristics and a benign stall, this is an aeroplane that’s been designed to look after you, give you time to react, and learn at a comfortable pace. Mind you, it’s got some power too and will comfortably outperform many trainers in the aerobatic department, making it a truly enjoyable all-round sportster.
Technically advanced, the Prodigy incorporates the Arrows Vector three mode stabilisation system and comes ready to fly with everything included in the box, save four AA batteries for the transmitter. The fact is, for first time flyers the Arrows Prodigy ticks all those crucial boxes, plus a few you hadn’t even considered.
