Introduction
E-flite ® is proud to announce the Advance 25e, a
low-wing sport plane with exceptionally smooth
flight performance at an accessible price. Designed
by world-class competition pilot and designer, Mike
McConville, this aircraft includes semi-symmetrical
airfoil wings for great aerobatic flight, tricycle landing
gear for excellent ground handling, and an UltraCote ®
trim scheme to provide the best finish. Additionally,
convenience plays a big factor in the Advance 25e,
which is why it is designed for both 25 and 32-size
brushless outrunner motors and is constructed with a
bolt-on wing for simpler setup and tear-down for easy
transport.
