Introduction
A true breakthrough in electric flight, the Tensor 4D
lightweight design takes extreme 3D aerobatics to a
new level. The Tensor is designed by Aerodynamicist
George Hicks, a top-level Unlimited Aerobatic ace.
The Tensor features unique side force generators for
maximum yaw authority and knife–edge flight, light
wing loading, carbon fiber wing and tail support
for reinforcement and added strength, and precision
laser cut pre-painted flat foam construction.
