The Prowler XT Foam Board Kit is a compact 688mm foam board RC plane from The Flite Lab Rapid Build Series, designed to give both newer and more experienced pilots a satisfying all round flying experience. With a typical all up weight of around 495g and a wing loading of 23g/dm², it offers smooth, predictable stability at low control throws for training flights, while retaining enough control authority and power range to transition into sport flying and aerobatics as your confidence grows.

The airframe uses precision laser cut Creator Foam and ply parts for a strong, consistent structure, with a pre-cut canopy specifically designed to house FPV equipment. At low rates the Prowler XT behaves like a friendly trainer, ideal for circuits, approaches and touch and go landings. Increasing the throws wakes the airframe up, turning it into a lively sport model that can perform quick rolls, loops and more aggressive manoeuvres, making it one of those foam board RC planes you can keep in the car and enjoy at almost any suitable flying field.

Electronics are based around common, affordable components. The kit is intended to run on 2x 9g servos, a brushless motor capable of roughly 800g of thrust, a 7 inch electric propeller, a 20–30A ESC and a suitable LiPo battery, controlled by at least a 4 channel radio system. Because it follows standard foam board building techniques and comes with a downloadable Prowler XT manual, the build is straightforward for anyone with basic model building experience and a good introduction to foam board RC aircraft for newer builders.

Prowler XT FAQ

The Prowler XT is designed to be easy to build and easy to fly, with a build difficulty of 2/5 and a flying difficulty of 2/5. At low control throws it behaves like a stable trainer, which makes it suitable for newer pilots who are comfortable with the basics and want something forgiving to practise on. With higher throws it has enough performance to keep more experienced pilots interested.
The Prowler XT is intended for stable training flights, sport flying and basic aerobatics. At low rates it is smooth and predictable for circuits, approaches and touch and go landings. At higher rates it becomes quite aerobatic and is capable of fast rolls and loops, making it a good all round foam board model for club and park flying.
To complete the Prowler XT you will need 2x 9g servos, a brushless motor capable of around 800g of thrust, a 7 inch electric propeller, a 20A to 30A ESC, a suitable LiPo battery matched to your motor and at least a 4 channel transmitter and receiver. These electronic components are not included in the kit and must be supplied separately.
The Prowler XT has a 688mm wingspan and a 573mm fuselage length. Typical all up weight is around 495g with a wing loading of 23g/dm². This relatively low wing loading, combined with the planform, is what gives the model its stable handling at low speed and its ability to transition into more agile, aerobatic flight at higher control throws.
Yes, the Prowler XT includes a pre cut canopy designed to take FPV equipment. There is enough space to mount a small FPV camera and video transmitter, and the layout keeps the FPV gear in a practical position without having to cut into the airframe yourself. This makes it a good option if you want to move from line of sight training into basic FPV flying on the same airframe.
In the kit you get the Prowler XT airframe components in foam and ply, a pre cut canopy for FPV installations, a hardware pack with control horns and pushrods, and access to a downloadable Prowler XT manual in the attachments tab on the product page. The manual walks you through the build and setup so you can get from flat parts to a flying model in a straightforward way.
