Description
FT – Explorer
High Strength Paper Laminated Waterproof Foamboard
FliteBoard Pro is made up of 3/16″ (5MM) polystyrene (XPS) foam core, laminated on both sides with high quality super strong Poly-coated water resistant virgin Kraft paper making the Foam Boards lightweight, yet incredibly strong and completely water resistant. The paper lamination allows you to cut, score, fold, hinge easily to build popular RC models where you require a lightweight material that is durable and strong.
Extra strong Paper Laminated Foamboard
Alphaboards have a Bright white thick paper over the XPS Foam sheets. They are the strongest in our line up, but a bit heavy too. Extra strength ensures they can really take up a beating. Ideal to be used in the nose/belly area of an airplane, which is what gets stressed out the most.
Ultra Light Poly coated XPS Board
FliteBoard Lite+ is the lightest of the series made up of 3/16″ (5MM) Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) foam core, laminated on both sides with thin, light and clear lamination film. This yields an extremely lightweight water resistant board, that allows you to cut, score, fold, hinge easily to build popular RC models where weight is of utmost importance. Ideal for Tail surfaces and wings to get the CG right.
The FT-Explorer carries all the simple lines, features, and characteristics that you will find with many of the most common and successful trainers, such as the Hitec Easy Star, the Sky Surfer, and of course, the Hobbyking Bixler series. The difference is that the motor, wings, tail section, and nose can all be swapped, reconfigured, or changed out to allow you to discover the performance changes of a new design. Our hope is that the community will design, learn, and share what they have created, so others can learn and grow. Just like the Mighty Mini Tiny Trainer, The FT Explorer comes with 2 wings– one for 3 channel flight and a sport wing for faster 4 channel operation. Both the B and C motor packs (c packs need 9×6 propeller) can be used on the FT Explorer to go from a light and slow trainer to a strong performing FPV platform or sport trainer.

Expert Advice:
As a first airplane, for for a glider like flying experience build with the trainer wing. As a second airplane, or for zipping around build the sport wing. Double check the CG location. Take time to watch the build video to make a straight and true airframe.
