Finally -- a ducted fan plane with performance that lives up to its looks! The XPD8 ARF is blink-of-an-eye fast. The secret is in the HyperFlowTM ducted fan unit -- it was designed from the ground up by an Aerospace engineer using computer modeling to identify the parameters for high performance before manufacturing even began. That performance is complemented perfectly by the smoothly contoured lines of the jet's durable, repairable EPS foam fuselage, which arrives prepainted and can be flight-ready in just 1-2 hours. A hand grip on the underside offers easy, one-person launching. All this -- plus a high-quality hardware package -- are yours at a surprisingly affordable price!
 

• Includes the amazing HyperFlow ducted fan system that features a high-performance 370 brushed motor.
   
• Prepainted, so it's flight-ready in only 1-2 hours.
   
• Molded of rugged EPS foam for smoothly contoured lines.
   
• A high-quality hardware package is included.

The winglets attach easily with foam-safe CA glue, and help add rock-solid stability to the XPD8 ARF's flight.


The hatch fastens on with magnets, and features cooling vents for the ESC and battery pack.



With a wingspan measuring just over two feet, the XPD8 ARF is easy to transport to the flying field.

The HyperFlow ducted fan system is the driving force behind the XPD8 ARF.



Fully optimized performance made possible by superior engineering!

Blue color shown for illustration purposes. Production fan is molded in black.



The HyperFlow ducted fan system is available with a high-performance 370 brushed motor (GPMG3911), and can also be adapted to use a 20 mm or 24 mm brushless motor. Additional stator vanes are included to straighten airflow for the higher speed brushless motor. The HyperFlow unit can replace any system that uses a 56 mm fan. Precise molding ensures smooth air flow and truly awesome performance.
