THe Nimbus 3D Foam Board Kit

The Nimbus Pro 3D is a high-performance aerobatic aircraft kit from The Flite Lab’s Rapid Build Series, engineered for pilots who demand precision and control in slow-flying 3D manoeuvres. Its flat cross-construction, low wing loading, and lightweight airframe deliver unmatched agility and responsiveness, allowing confident execution of high-alpha flight, harriers, torque rolls, and other advanced aerobatics in tight spaces.

The model offers excellent slow-flight behaviour with minimal throttle input and precise handling throughout the flight envelope. While it’s forgiving and stable enough for intermediate pilots running low rates, the Nimbus Pro 3D becomes an exhilarating machine in the hands of skilled flyers. The model's ultra-light design maximises control authority and enables true floating-style aerobatics, ideal for indoor or calm outdoor park flying.

This foam kit features CNC laser-cut components for accuracy and consistency, with a construction method that’s fast and reliable. Every element is purpose-built for rigidity and performance, from its carbon-reinforced wing supports to the reinforced pushrod system and removable motor mount. Assembly requires only basic tools and adhesives, making it a great project for builders with moderate experience.
