Overview
After many successful with Predator Jet we decided to develop NEW sportjet for new era. The Pilot-RC Matrix is an innovative approach to a new sport jet/ 3Djet. Great capabilities had to be combined between sport jet and unbeatable 3D performance. everything aerodynamic we tested and learned from Predator and develop together with one of the best pilot in the world for Matrix performance so we can say this is best ever sport jet with ultimate flying characteristics for precise aerobatics and 3D aerobatics at the same time.
The Matrix all feature and shape of airframe this from one of the best designer Mirco Pecorari from Aircraftstudiodesign, a little like the charismatic hypercars style.
Features
The extremely lightweight full composite construction is specifically designed to deliver outstanding sport flight with remarkable 3D performance
The painting is done outside the mold, resulting in a seamless appearance with no visible seam lines
The Matrix features ultra lightweight landing gears, and it is compatible with the 2.2m Predator Sport Jet V2 Landing Gears, allowing them to be used interchangeably
Specially designed easy access to turbine for speedy installation
Thanks to the quick releases on the wings, field setup can be accomplished within seconds, without the need for any tools
The elevator stabilizer can be easily installed or removed using a single clamp positioned from the top, requiring only a few turns to tighten or loosen the bolt
Removable wing and elevator for easy transport
The equipment installation board ensures a clear and straightforward installation of electronic items, with the ability to hide most of the wires
The pre-installed tube for the stab/rudder extension wire makes it easy to install
An option is available with a vector tail pipe designed for 3D flight
