Introduction
The Alpha Sport 450 PNP combines the mild manners
of a high-wing trainer with all the fun of a sport
aerobatic plane, making it the perfect companion for
a few care-free hours at the local park or playground.
Constructed from top-quality balsa and plywood, it
comes out of the box covered in genuine UltraCote.
And assembly takes just an evening or two thanks to
convenient features like the bolt-on tail and installed
control horns.
