The Bird of Time ARF can be assembled in as little as 2-3 hours!
Its durable, hand-laid fiberglass fuselage arrives already painted, and the built-up
wing and tail surfaces have been covered in Top Flite® MonoKote® film. Hardware
and a molded, tinted canopy are also supplied! |

A radio system’s on-board equipment, including a standard servo
for rudder control, installs easily into the Bird of Time ARF’s fuselage. Room
is also available to add a ballast box, if desired, for maximum wind penetration.
|

For slope soaring, just toss the Bird of Time ARF over the edge!
For thermal soaring, lift the plane into thermalling altitude using a high start
or a winch. Several tow hook locations are possible in order to maximize launch
angles and altitudes. |
