Information and Specs from Hobbyking.com
A mini Icon-A5 with big performance! This little seaplane took us by surprise here at HobbyKing. Once out at the test field, the
transmitter was soon being passed around because everyone wanted a go! The 1200kv motor provides spirited performance and more
than enough power to rise of the water with ease! In fact the only thing more entertaining than taking of was landing again! its
addictive! The rear steering paddle also makes navigating the water a breeze.
Once in the air the HobbyKing Icon-A5 proved to be quite a show of, aerobatics and loops were no problem at all! Optional landing
gear has also been included incase you dont have access to a lake or river.
All you will require to complete this model is an 11.1v 3S 1300mAh lipoly battery and your own transmitter and receiver to get
the Icon air worthy and ship shape in around 30 minutes.
