Micro Swift

The SWIFT S-1 has been flown in competitions with considerable success since 1991. Jerzy Makula became World Champion flying the prototype. Our model of the SWIFT displays all the original machine's superb flight performance and handling qualities in 1/10 scale. The glider is capable of all aerobatic maneuvers, including rolls, inverted flight, knife-edge, four-point rolls etc., and only the pilot's flying skills limit what it can do.

The micro Swift is a high performance, full composite scale glider. The micro Swift offers top quality which is normally associated with building of our big ships. All control surfaces are live hinged, hardware is excellent and includes a huge scale décor sheet.  The ailerons are controlled by independent micro servos with feasibility to adjust spoiler-brakes for shorter landings.
Not cheap, but fantastic value for money considering the superb craftsmanship and flying characteristics of this model, the micro Swift is for the discerning RC glider pilot.
