The
SkySeeker GT is tough enough to survive most beginner mishaps
and
puts you on the fast track to flying success.
Like any sport or hobby, model flying can be a
little intimidating at first. You'll need a trainer plane that
is easy to fly and built extra-tough to get you past the common
first-time mistakes and mishaps.
After only a few minutes of success, you'll be hooked for good!
Even if you manage to damage a wing, prop or tail, SkySeeker GT
is packaged with more spare parts than any other Ready To Fly
(RTF) product on the market to ensure you'll be able to fly longer
with less downtime for faster learning.
If you're looking for the fast track to success, you won't find
a better parkflyer trainer than the SkySeeker GT.
Performance
to Please
Whether you're a new pilot itching
for the rush of aerobatic excitement, or an old-timer that's earned
the right to sit back and enjoy the peaceful birdlike circling
of a free-flight glider, the SkySeeker GT will please.
The SkySeeker GT has plenty of power and control authority to
easily perform loops, hammerheads and even inverted flight. If
you have something more leisurely in mind, the SkySeeker GT is
a stable glider so you'll be able to climb to a couple of hundred
feet, set in one click of up elevator and a click or two of turn,
ignore the transmitter, then sit back and watch your free flight
glider thermal for a while. But unlike a true free-flight model,
you only need to turn on a bit of power and fly the SkySeeker
GT back to the field if it wanders off.
Assure success with a true hobby-grade 3Ch RTF, not a 2Ch toy.
Why 3 channels and how are they used
to fly the airplane?
Flying with 2 channels is difficult in all but perfectly calm
weather, and flying with 4 channels adds significant cost and
complexity at the expense of durability. Educators and flight
trainers agree that a 3 channel trainer is the best starting point.
The 3 channels are: (1)Throttle to control airspeed (2)Rudder
or Aileron to turn (3)Elevator to climb or descend
You'll find 2 Channel "crash-and-trash
toy" RTF starter planes priced from $50 with hype about how
smart onboard computer flight control software is the answer when
actually it attempts to make up for the missing elevator control
channel. Even if it helps, do you want to have a computer obscure
your control actions? How does this prepare you to fly the 3 &
4 channel hobby grade aircraft? And what good is a computer if
the toy breaks? |

Durable
Construction
Keeps you Flying Longer.
(1) The
SkySeeker GT achieves exceptional marks in durability using a one-piece
full-length, molded polypropylene fuselage to absorb impacts.
(2)
Motor push-throughs are virtually eliminated due to a internal metal
restraint bracket.
(3)
Servos are shock isolated using rubber and easily accessible under
the canopy.
(4)
Fiber Tape Laminate protects vulnerable wing leading and trailing
edges.

Fly with Confidence
Right Out-of-the-Box
Every
SkySeeker GT ships factory assembled and tested for that extra
assurance that it will fly well out-of-the- box. Even the tail
and propeller come factory installed.
Unlike
toy RTFs, all pre-installed R/C components are quality, industry
standard types and can be replaced as needed to keep you flying
longer or you may choose to transfer them to other planes if you
ever outgrow this one! |

Professional
3 Channel Flight Control
FM Radio System
Our
Single Stick FM radio combines the elevator and rudder controls
into one two axis stick with the industry standard mode II
configuration for the USA. The proportional throttle lever
is on the back side. Avoid the frustration of having to switch
to mode II later by starting with it! And veteran pilots will
have an easier time teaching a newcomer how to fly with the
conventional mode II stick they are most familiar with.
The
range is at least 2000' , so you've got plenty of margin,
but usually you will want to keep SkySeeker GT much closer
for good visual placement.
Already
Have a 3+ Channel Radio?
If
you already own a Hitec/JR/Air-Z/Futaba-J
compatible radio you can purchase SkySeeker GT without transmitter
and receiver and use your own.

Conclusion
(pg 92)
After taking this plane out for a few flights,
noting its lightweight and great performance, I concluded this is the aircraft I’ll offer to my
son, Derek, to take that mighty jump from PC
sims to the flying field. It‘s also an aircraft I’ll
keep in the backseat of my car. The engineers
at ReadyToFlyFun.com have this one right,
and I give it two thumbs up.

The SkySeeker GT is an attractive
trainer-glider for beginners and experts. Its fun to take up high, throttle
back and glide around in lazy circles. At full throttle, it can do loops
and is very maneuverable. I had a good time with the SkySeeker GT, and
because there isn't any setup time, I could take it to the local field
whenever I had a spare 20 minutes....
This model will make any pilot more confident and is a blast to fly.

ReadyToFlyFun.com has hit
a home run wit their new SkySeeker GT Extreme Value Package. This is one
airplane that absolutely anyone can assemble in five minutes or less,
so it is absolutely ideal for the individual who wants to be piloting
in no time. The SkySeeker GT would be a great choice for a single mom
who wants to introduce her son or daughter to R/C airplane flight. It
would also be a super choice for a junior pilot who is looking for a fast
way to get his video-game-trained hands on an R/C box for that first "real"
flight. For a busy professional who just wants a way to get in a flight
at lunch, the SkySeeker is an airplane that will fit in the back seat
of even the smallest car for a quick escape to the field. This little
yellow gem is a super flyer too!
