Introduction
The Nieuport 17 was designed by the French as a
single-seat fighter biplane in World War I. It was a
very maneuverable aircraft and many British and
French pilots began their careers with a Nieuport 17.
E-flite’s Nieuport 17 Slow Flyer is an electric indoor
version of the French biplane fighter. It’s the third in
a line of E-flite slow flyers and boasts a low weight
and a more majestic type of slow flight thanks to the
biplane design and reduced wing loading. So you
can get to flying faster, the Nieuport 17 comes with
many prefinished details including wood interplane
and cabane struts, molded cowling, a dummy motor,
a prepainted trim scheme and decals that are already
applied.
The E-flite Nieuport 17 Slow Flyer 250 ARF is a
fantastic flying foamie with outstanding slow speed
characteristics—making it perfect for indoor flight.
