The Avios Super Tucano is a large, impressive, modern-day warbird that offers super-scale looks with a sports plane feel. It has a low wing loading, rock-solid stability throughout its entire speed range, and an awesome presence on the ground or in the air. When flying it tracks like it is on rails with no bad tendencies, and the ground handling is also excellent courtesy of the tricycle landing gear and rugged all-metal, sprung oleo struts. All these traits including long flight times make it the perfect choice for beginners to flying scale model warbirds, and experienced pilots will also love the impressive amount of power and torque from the 6S setup and highly efficient 5-blade scale propeller. This amazing amount of power enables the Super Tucano to carry out large, scale-like manoeuvres with confidence and loads of panache.

The flying characteristics are where the Super Tucano comes into its own and make it stand out from the crowd. It flies so well, with a balanced, neutral feel, it can perform aerobatics just as well as any purpose-built pattern-ship. It is also surprisingly 3D capable as well, hovering, rolling circles, knife-edge loops, harriers, and even crankshafts it will take in its stride, the Avios Super Tucano can do them all.

The features of this "Plug N Fly" model are also very impressive, large flaps for super slow, controlled landings, and very slow, low passes, day-bright LED nav, formation, and landing lights, and a set of all-metal durable servoless retracts with sprung oleos and scale strut covers. This setup makes for excellent ground handling and also smooths out all those lumps and bumps we get on many of our grass airfields. Power is supplied by a spirited 5052-525KV brushless motor coupled to a 100A Aerostar RVS G2 brushless ESC, as an option this can provide reverse thrust for an extremely short landing run. 6 x 13g servos provide control to the ailerons, elevator, rudder, and flaps, and a stronger, more powerful 25g servo provides control to the steerable nose gear.

The strong, lightweight EPO airframe is painted and finished in a scale Philippines Air Force colour scheme with shark mouth nose-art, and the parts count is minimal making for a quick and straightforward building process. The beautiful scale decals are also expertly applied at the factory as is most of the scale detail. A feature of the full-size Super Tucano is the large tandem canopy and cockpit, this is superbly captured with this Avios version. The cockpit is well-detailed and includes two pilots for added realism, it also lends itself nicely to accepting an FPV setup for an even greater flying experience. The large quick-release hatch gives excellent access to the radio/battery compartment, whilst allowing for super quick and easy battery changes.

So if you are looking for a large, very impressive, easy-to-fly scale modern-day warbird that will appeal to both experienced and those pilots wanting to fly a scale model for the first time, then look no further than the incredible Avios Super Tucano.
