Futaba SkyLeaf ST RC Model Build and Fly
Join me in this video as I go over the Futaba SkyLeaf RC model build and fly. We will take this RC model airplane, do an unbox of the kit, then commence with building the finished RC model airplane.
The SkyLeaf is very easy to construct due in large part to an easy to understand photo illustrated construction manual. The manual takes you step by step for the build. Futaba has various components that you can use to complete the model, to include three servos, a receiver and electronic speed control. I build my SkyLeaf in two days.
The model flew very well on its maiden flight. The SkyLeaf is an honest aircraft that goes where it is pointed. With full control throws it should be able to fly a full acrobatic routine. The SkyLeaf slows down nicely for RC airplane landings.
The Futaba SkyLeaf is ideal for anyone new to building RC model airplane kits. The SkyLeaf is not a trainer aircraft, however, and should be used by RC pilots who are comfortable flying a sport trainer.
