The H-King Cloud Clipper kit captures the type of vintage model airplane that was used in the early days of RC. It features the classic elliptical shape wing, a large glazed cabin, a classic geodetic fuselage structure, and tail dragger landing gear, all features that used to be very popular.
The controls are just basic 3 channels, rudder, elevator, and motor control, however, ailerons can be added if desired. We recommend that you power the Cloud Clipper with a brushless motor set-up. Alternatively, a nitro or a diesel engine can be used for that even more authentic vintage look and classic soundtrack.
All the wooden parts are precision laser cut to produce an accurate, lightweight airframe. The Cloud Clipper kit is relatively straightforward to build, however, we do recommend that some experience in building a wood model airplane has been gained previously. Most of the components are constructed over the detailed, high-quality printed 1:1 building plans.
Once the airframe is built, we recommend that you cover the model in our HobbyKing lightweight, semi-transparent iron-on covering. This shows off the beautiful structure of the Cloud Clipper, and further enhances the classic vintage look of what would have been doped tissue.
So either take a trip down memory lane, or experience what flying an RC model was like 50 to 60 years ago. These types of designs have a very low wing loading, are very stable, and are particularly good-natured to fly. Back in the day, they were basically RC assist free-flight type models. These stable, good-natured qualities and simple 3 channel control, make the Cloud Clipper the perfect choice for pilots with very little RC flying experience.
