The RV-8 70cc FLS (FeatherLite Series) is a 35% scale model of the famous experimental Van’s Aircraft RV-8. Designer and World Champion Quique Somenzini has taken a completely new approach with the design of the RV-8 70cc FLS. A massive airframe, with over 2000 square inches (130 sq. dm.) of wing area, that comes in at 23 pounds (10.4 kg) flying weight, offers such an incredibly lightly loaded airframe, it feels like you are flying something lighter than air. Couple the extremely light wing loading with key design and geometric details from the master himself, and you get an aircraft that has an incredible flight envelope.

Along with the incredible airframe design of the RV-8 70cc FLS, it is also designed to accept multiple power systems, including 60cc electric setups that allow you to fly anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes on a typical 12S Li-Po setup! We also can’t forget about its float-ready airframe either! The optional RV-8 70cc FLS Float Set includes everything needed to get it on the water and is also available to match your RV-8 70cc FLS’ color scheme.

This is an airplane that you need to experience for yourself truly, and once you have, you’ll quickly add one to your hangar! From its insane stability at walking speeds with the flaps down to classic 3D and precision aerobatic maneuvers, the RV-8 70cc FLS has the flight performance and versatility for every pilot, of virtually every skill level.
