Slipso S400 Pylon Racer Short Kit

The Slipso 400 was designed by Paul Daniels as an introduction to electric pylon racing. It makes an excellent club racer that keeps everyone on the same playing field with the same platform and motor. It's a true test of who has the best flying skills.

The Slipso can accomodate motors up to the classic speed-400 can size and battery packs up to a 7 call 2/3A.

Using a brushless motor with high discharge LiPo cells turns the Slipso into an insanely fast racer that has reached speeds up to 125 MPH! The Slipso has a solid 1/4" balsa wing reinforced with CF that can also be covered with Doculam or light fiberglass.

The short kit includes ONLY the balsa parts for the airplane and a 1/8" birch plywood firewall mount.
