Smart Design for Performance and Durability

  • Equipped with the AeroRacers Fun Protection System, allowing the Fun 24 to survive hard landings without damage.

  • Includes an adjustable ballast system for easy center-of-gravity tuning to optimize performance.
  • The AeroRacers Rapid Wing Joining wing joining system makes wing assembly fast and simple.

Precision Build — No Knife Required

  • All parts are pre-cut, with most laser-cut for high precision.
  • Lightweight, durable airframe constructed from balsa and plywood.
  • Assembly requires only wood glue.
  • Jedelsky-style wings provide excellent strength and a bird-like airfoil—no wing covering required.
  • Wing panels can be assembled and removed in seconds using the Rapid Wing Joining method.
  • Includes all necessary small parts such as screws and ballast—nothing left out.
  • Pre-slotted parts ensure perfect alignment and make building easy.
  • Fully illustrated instructions guide a quick build—typically about 2 hours.
