The HOTS, part of The Flite Lab's Rapid Build Series Foam Board Airplanes, is a high-octane aerobatic aircraft designed for intermediate to advanced pilots.
The HOTS is a purpose-built RC aircraft kit designed for pilots who demand precision, agility, and dynamic flight characteristics. With a lightweight yet rigid construction, it excels in high-energy aerobatics and is capable of performing advanced manoeuvres including rolls, inverted flight, prop hangs, spins, and knife edges.
The kit features laser-cut foam and ply components for a precise fit and straightforward assembly. Carbon tubes and pre-bent piano wire enhance structural integrity while keeping the airframe lightweight. Essential 3D printed elements such as wheel collars, combined with hardware like vinyl, magnets, and velcro, support a clean and durable build.
Optimised for responsive control and a wide performance envelope, the HOTS is ideal for experienced flyers looking to push their limits or sharpen their 3D flying skills. It’s designed to operate with a high-power setup and accommodates standard 9g servos, making it compatible with common RC electronics.
