Setting up aileron servos for a Giant-Scale model is even easier with the pre-programmed, 6-servo wing setup that has been added to the airplane wing types.

Expanded Sound Selection Menu

Pitch Curve for Variable-Pitch Props

A 7-point pitch curve can be activated for airplanes equipped with variable-pitch propellers.

Origin Mixing

About Quique Somenzini.

It began in Argentina with his father, Mario. Throughout the late 1970s, Mario Somenzini was the reigning F3A Champion of Argentina and most of South America. As a boy, Quique would spend hours with his father at the flying field cleaning airplanes, watching and learning. It paid off.

In 1976, Quique made his first RC solo flight at the age of nine. Just three years later, he followed in his fathers footsteps and won his first Argentina F3A National Championship. That same year he had the privilege of representing his country at the F3A World Championships in South Africa. He didnt win, but he did set a record of sorts as the youngest pilot ever to compete for an F3A world title a record that still stands today.

In the years that followed Quique won a host of other titles, including 17 more Argentina F3A national championships, four U.S. F3A national championships, four first-place TOC finishes and one F3A world championship. But if you ask him, there is one RC title Quique cherishes above all others "The Father of 3D". Around the world, RC pilots point to his pioneering efforts in perfecting the art of flying aerobatics beyond the stall as the birth of 3D aerobatics.

Today, Quique Somenzini remains one of the most dynamic figures in RC flight, one who will be shaping the future of the sport for years to come.
