Flight Line Plans are a well-respected producer of electric R/C and free flight aeroplane plans. Designs are available in several categories: Micro Models, SmartDarts, Flying Wings, Sports Aerobatic, Vintage and Trainers.

Developed from the earlier PE 400 which used a Speed 400 motor, this version uses a 2 or 3 cell LiPo and a CDROM motor. With a lighter construction, the weight came out at half of the original and the climb and performance benefits followed. Power on/off flights of over 50 minutes are easily obtained with thermal flights of over an hour.
Highly recommended as a simple to build and fly model and as an elementary trainer using a buddy box.

Items Needed to Complete:
PE400 is a 32" span 15oz speed 400 model. Using a six cell 1100mAh nicad pack gives up to 14 minutes of flight - a 1200mAh 2S LiPo will give even longer duration. Rudder and elevator control allows for loops, rolls and stall turns. Makes for an excellent trainer or first electric model.
