Z-foam planes have become very popular in the hobby because of their robust durability and overall great flying qualities. They are easily repaired by the CA glues of today or with new spare parts, the choice is yours. E-flite brings you a new level of Z foam, called Carbon Z. Using an entirely new design philosophy in the structure, Carbon - Z structure combines a blend of carbon, plywood, and Z foam. No longer are wings completely solid, with Carbon - Z they are molded in a built up format with ribs to include a full composite structure inside to deliver rigidity only found in the past in higher level wood model aircraft. This composite blend gives you the highest level of quality in a foam model to help deliver only the highest level of performance at the flying field. Because of the internal structure there is no maintenance, incredible strength, and great looks for the most demanding modelers.
World renowned Quique Somenzini has imbedded his expertise and knowledge into this new design called Carbon - Z. This technology currently has patents pending and is the future of light weight, extreme performance foam aircraft. The Carbon Z Yak 54 has been designed for extreme 3D flight but as Quique explains this technology could be used in model of all sizes. We believe after reviewing the incredible strength, rigidity, and great looks you will find this new level of technology is just what you have been waiting for.

Great to see another video about C-Z ;-) and HH have done it again now all we need now is a PZ upgrade of the SpitFire and i'll be a happy man lol.

I fly helis and im liking the look of this

and good new host

John redman is way too focused on trying to sell the plane, while mr Somenzini was trying to explain the product...find someone who is not like a car salesperson. Nobody likes how he just interrupts and seems way too over excited.

What I don't get is why they call it so light, the wing loading is really high for an aerobatics plane!

@RepoMan550 i just bought the PNP for 250 euros/353 USD here in Italy and after 5 flights i can say it is worth the money. if i had paid it 100 dollars more i would say the same. it is just amazing.

its a great plane. the best in the foam range. the only lie they 're saying is...its "weather friendly". it is not. its a week i have it and after a couple of hours in the italian spring sun, the paint is coming off piece by piece literally melting and the glue holding the pieces together is turning yellowish. not good.

anyway, i recommend this plane to everyone. it flies great, no matter what kind of style. it just flies and does whatever you want it to do.

Give us Jim Booker back please, This Redman guy is not serius. He have one of the worlds best RC pilot beside him, he should show a little bit respect to Mr Somenzini and let him speek about his new product with out any interuption.

That old car salesman type is out of date since many years ago. It´s like on TV shop every time you go behind the camera, you have good products and good employers around you. Calm Down 500% and trust in your products....

@eastcoast78 The reason there's $100 difference between the BNF and PNP version is the PNP version needs a receiver, battery and charger. The BNF version gives you an AR600 receiver, a 4S 2800mAh 30C Li-Po pak and a variable rate DC Li-Po balancing charger. Which for $100 is not too bad at all. But I do agree the overall price for this plane should be lower. This airplane is nice and unique, but a fair price for this should go for is something like $279 BNF and $179 PNP. Just my opinion.

SOLD

@eastcoast78 good point

[Ispintechno1]

I could see myself flying that :)

[tele1974]

Would love to have it... It will take me exactly 3 1/2 months to save for this one. Humm...
