Introducing the new Pilot-RC Sbach342 V2 75" — a next-generation 30–40cc aerobatic aircraft.
The legendary Sbach 342 has been redesigned for the modern era, combining the smooth and predictable flight characteristics of the original 73" Sbach with the precision required for modern Xtreme Aerobatics (XA).
The new Sbach342 V2 75" features a hybrid wood, composite and carbon-fibre construction, with a specially reinforced fuselage and wings. Extensive development and flight testing have been carried out by the Pilot-RC factory team to refine its flight characteristics and deliver outstanding 3D and precision aerobatic performance.
The aircraft is highly prefabricated, making assembly considerably quicker for experienced builders. It also incorporates Pilot-RC's new quick-assembly systems for the wings, stabilizers, SFGs and canopy.
