Radio Control Flying Eagle || PrePainted Raptor | EPP (1430mm WingSpan)

PrePainted Kit comes with the epp foam Eagle Kit (unassembled)  and electronics package combo

If you have not seen the this EPP RC Raptor then you MUST see this bird.  Not only does this kit come from high quality material and dense EPP, it only takes 1-2 hrs to get it flight worthy.  Everyone at your local flying field will be certain to ask you about this Eagle.  You will also intrigue the local wildlife and with out a doubt will come to investigate this new comer.  On our maiden flight of the EPP RC Raptor, several crows chased us around and then the resident hawk made sure we knew it was his field. 

The EPP Eagle Kit is an artistically crafted RC airplane. This excellent aerodynamic design of wings and V-tails allows excellent control even in a very low flying speed.   Add the optional ailerons and you have yourself a very maneuverable bird!  It is made of Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) material which is very crash friendly material!

 EPP is used to absorb energy such as automotive vehicle bumper cores, therefore is very durable and has high crash-landing tolerance. Each piece in the kit is made by the CNC machine with 100% precision.

It is easy to assemble and the instruction is included in the kit. Experienced pilots can use customized radio and power parts. The large surface area of the main wings design allows the high loading weight

Build Tips

This is made for easy flying and when I assembled my Eagle, I used the foam cure.  Its a contact cement material and takes overnight to fully dry.  Using this foam cure / foam tac glue makes this for an extremely light build.  Remember the lighter the better!  - But if you are wanting to put this together in a few hours, then regular CA & CA Accelerator will work. The CA 'fuses' the foam together, so once its glued, is never coming apart.  This glue adds a few oz of weight to the entire build and if you crash, the EPP will tear rather.  If you crash using the foam cure, the joints just come apart ready to be glued back together.  This is totally your call which glue you use.  I actually use a bit of both.  The CA on the edges to hold the majority of the parts together while the foam cure fully cures.

  1. A Great Looking and Flying Eagle
    Rating
    I highly recommend buying this kit if you want a very realistic looking and great flying bird plane. But it is a total kit build for everything on the plane. If you're willing to put in a whole bunch of hours building it, I highly recommend it. Also, make sure you watch some great build videos on Youtube. The videos helped tremendously since the instructions aren't that great.

  2. Great fun plane
    Rating
    This is a great plane. It makes everybody smile. The instructions leave a bit to be desired, but there are plenty of YouTube videos. If you are not an experienced builder, I recommend you watch one or two before you start building. I know I would have done some things differently if I'd watched the build videos first.

    Bought this for a show in front of some elementary school kids. They loved it. It looks pretty realistic in the air.

  4. Quality kit
    Rating
    The build is a breeze. Took me about 4 hours. All quality components. The only issue was deciding whether the top front fuselage piece went between or on top of the fuselage sides. Haven’t flown it yet,the weather has been March winds in April.
    Buy it! It’s really a good deal.

    This review is for the actual flight of my Eagle. I just want to say WOW!! what a great flying bird!! I threw some throttle to it and tossed it into the wind and off it went. Just needed a little trimming and then flew very nice. It caught some thermals and just floated around. Looked extremely realistic in the sky. There was a hawk nearby that flew near it for a bit. I highly recommend this kit. You will need to buy some alieron wire extensions to be able to connect to your receiver easier. Other than that, I give this kit 10 stars!!

    I take this to my park and the wildlife always come out and check it.. Do what Basil suggests, 1500mAh battery all the way to the front allows for longer and better flyings.

  10. Nice flyer
    Rating
    Plane (bird) flies well, great in fact. Had issues at the start, seems the ESC was bad and would not initiate the motor. Went through the ESC set up procedure several times but no change. Replace the ESC with a use one I had available and problem resolved.

    Wings fold up and bird crashes - pretty disappointing.
