The Mountain Models Lucky ACE™ laser cut model airplane kit was designed to provide a simple building, lightweight, durable, highly aerobatic "stik" style plane, while still having a bit of style to it.

The Lucky ACE™ weighs a 1/2 pound less than a comparable sized ARF! What does that mean for you? It means a lower stall speed, better handling at those speeds, smaller motors and batteries for the same performance, and longer flight times than those heavy ARF's.

The Lucky ACE™ was designed for the low experienced builder and pilots looking to start out in aerobatics and light 3D. The 12% symmetrical airfoil gives the Lucky ACE™ a wide range of performance and still slows down nicely for slow harriers. The Lucky ACE is a joy to fly, from mild to wild, it'll do almost anything you ask it.

The Lucky ACE™ can be built as a tail dragger or as a trike! 2 sets of landing gear mounts are included in the kit. To convert the kit to a trike, we sell a pack with the steerable nose gear and hardware to set it up.

For those on a time budget, the self-jigging laser cut balsa and plywood parts will let you build the kit quickly, so you can get to the fun part faster ... flying!
