Introduction
For most private pilots, nothing says “I’ve arrived!”
quite like taking the left seat of a Beechcraft
Bonanza. Considered by many to be the finest
single-engine airplane in general aviation, the
Bonanza is renowned for its classic lines and
sporty-yet-stable flight characteristics. E-flite has
expertly captured the scale lines and satisfying flying
manners of the Bonanza with this 15-size ARF. It
comes out of the box with a great looking UltraCote®
trim scheme and enough scale detail to satisfy any
sport modeler. For those who want to push the scale
looks and performance even further, E-flite offers
several optional accessory kits (sold separately) that
allow you to add cockpit details, electric retracts and
even a V-tail.
