The Ecotop Baron is a replica of the famous RC plane created in the 1960s by Christian Chauzit. This model is perfect for beginners to RC aeromodeling. It has become a must-have model for clubs and beginners, as well as for model aircraft enthusiasts taking part in the famous Coupe des Barons!
Originally a two-axis model, its success has led to numerous three-axis versions... The Baron Ecotop still has the famous multi-longeron wing, but the dihedral has been slightly reduced so that it can be flown in both two-axis and three-axis versions.
This kit is designed for electric motorization, but you can also equip it with our thermal kit below.
Baron highlights :
The look and flying style of the original Baron have been preserved.
The transparent canvas covering of the open structures lets you appreciate the construction.
It's as easy to fly as a three-axle trainer of equivalent size.
The very large wheels with their antique look are at home on grass runways.
And of course... the model is delivered assembled and canvas-covered, so all that's left to do is final assembly, fitting the radio and motorization.
The Baron can fly peacefully in the manner of early aviation aircraft, but can also pass basic aerobatics.
