Description
Aerix 2.5m F5J is a sweet spot for pilots looking to step up into F5J for grown-ups without breaking the bank.
RC gliders in this size still allow you to use some budget friendly components, while providing an exceptional performance an handling, compared to the full-scale 4m F5J.
The best part though, that Aerix is designed to fit into a tiny box for storage and travels, just under 80cm long.

Aerix 2.5m F5J-400 Features
This RC glider is one of the best in class for quality and weight.
But there are some exceptional things that put it ahead of many similar models, in eg.:
- Aerix F5J-400 is made of a spread carbon, so all the parts are very light and stiff
- Tailboom holds the tail servos and uses Pull-Spring control linkage
- Traditionally, available in the light, regular, and strong versions.
- The fuselage breaks down in two parts for transportation and storage
- In a combo with a 4-panel wing it packs into less than 80cm box
- The wing uses a high-density XPS core for a smooth finish
- Wing harness connects to the fuselage via USB-C connector
- The tailboom features a Plug-and-Play servo installation – no soldering required
- The airframe is designned to use 8-9g KST servos which are a great ballance of cost and quality for a competition-class vehicle.
- The ballast will be available later in the year as an optional kit that you can install yourself.
So, if you are looking for a new F5J glider for the new season, Aerix might be a great choice.
