When I want to show off this is the plane I fly first.  It's a great plane for small fields and slopes.

It can be built light to fly slow and gentle, even though that is a little BORING!!!

The Scythe is a 28" micro wing built at the request of fliers who wanted an EPP mini/micro combat plane, a hand launch glider, a slope glider or a motorized flying wing.  We decided to do all four with one plane. We encourage your to set up your planes in different ways as seen below.

We designed this plane with a high lift high penetration airfoil and ultra light weight but as usual the fliers started to put motors on it that turned it into a small missile with roll rates as high as 3-4x second.  Mine will go straight up.  It is a blast to fly hard and can take the abuse that happens in combat and wild flying.  I have seen these planes hit trees and big combat planes like the Titan and Reaper and just keep on flying.

The kit comes with 2 EPP planes with EPP elevons, spars, laminate, shock cord and foam to support a motor mount.  We offer the double kit so you can try different things with each plane.  We encourage experimentation with sweep, fins, micro motors, micro motor mounts, micro servos, micro batteries and radio.

The Scythe is a 28" wing but designed to be cut down to 24" or less for those with good eyesight and fast reflexes.  See the photos below.  The foam weight alone is only 1.3 oz. How light you can build it is up to you. The Scythe is cut from EPP and is tough and durable.
