Remove the Shoestring’s hatch and you’ll find plenty of room inside the fuselage for easily installing your on-board equipment. |
The foam core, balsa sheeted wing halves slide together onto a carbon fiber joiner rod. While the model fits into most vehicles fully assembled, it can easily be taken apart for compact carrying and storage. |
The lines of the original Shoestring are captured in lightweight fiberglass parts, including the cowl, wheel pants and fuselage — whose corrugations suggest the fabric covering of the classic Golden Age racer. |
Like the full-size homebuilt, the Shoestring ARF is designed to be economical both in cost and assembly time. Even the aileron hinges have been installed for you at the factory! |

Easy to build and easy on budgets, the 54” span Shoestring ARF is mid-size wonder with big-time performance. Appearance makes it an easy double for the full-size racer, but you can dial it in for everything from racing speeds and response down to mellow sport flying!

| Instructions and mounting parts are included for installing a 2-stroke or 4-stroke glow engine or a brushless electric power system. Use whichever you prefer — no modifications are necessary. Electric mount (LXLCL4) sold separately. |
| The full-size Shoestring’s simplicity made it a favorite with builders...its maneuverability and speed appealed to trophy-hunting pilots. Those same qualities make this ARF a standout, offering easy assembly, exciting aerobatics, and a distinctive look at the flight line. |
