The CMPro Marathon is a beautifully finished aerobatic airplane with nice and simple construction. It comes pre-covered in an eye-catching design, you don’t even need to spend any time for further decoration since all the complicated painting is finished by the factory.
Featuring all balsa construction (fuselage, wings and tails), the Marathon is light but extremely strong. The epoxy landing gear and polystyrene wheel pants also contribute to minimize the weight but maximum durability.
The Marathon gives superb flying performance because:
- Full-aileron design with two separate servo controls, efficiently increases flying speed and makes the plane more responsive.
- Approx. 50% elevator in proportion. The elevator also uses two separate servo controls in order to increase thrusts and secure stability, such a design is not commonly used in models with the same size.
- Approx. 60% rudder in proportion. The 0.5mm linkage wire gives a direct control of the rudder.
These features greatly enhance extreme performance, such as 3D manoeuvre and hovering.
Assemble the Marathon
Because of the simple and neat construction, the Marathon is very easy to assemble.
Assembly is even fun if you are using a 20cc gas engine since the plane is specially designed for this size of engine.
The fiberglass cowling is also designed for easy gas engine assembly and help reducing heat.
The CMPro Marathon is combination of great looks and superb flying performance. Anyone wish to try precision aerobatics without spending a lot of time for building must not miss this beauty!
