SWIFT ARF RED foil covered S.K.G.

Elegant lines and the joy of soaring – that’s the SWIFT from Hacker. This semi-scale model of a well-known sailplane stands out with its distinctive silhouette and several attractive colour schemes. Full-colour printing across all major components completes its unique appearance, both on the ground and during flybys over the slope.

The SWIFT belongs to the SKG series (Simple Known Gliders), which brings popular full-size sailplanes to life as practical RC models. Its lightweight, strong and flexible expanded polypropylene (EPP) construction contributes to excellent flight characteristics while helping the model withstand minor crashes.

Take the SWIFT to the slope, make the most of the rising air and enjoy unpowered flight. If you prefer aerotowing, you can fit the model with an optional tow-release hook. A tow plane such as the Master Stick can then take it to altitude. Once you release the towline, you are free to choose your flight path and search for lift.

The SWIFT combines the charm of its full-size counterpart with the durability of an EPP model, offering an enjoyable way to spend your free time with your eyes on the sky.
