Description
The PB Crescent Tornado was one of the top aerobatic models of its era, and even today it can fly the current FAI Clubman’s schedule with ease. Originally designed around 0.60 glow engines, the Tornado performs perfectly with modern 0.55 to 0.75 glow engines, and it can even be converted to electric with some modification.
The kit includes a copy of the original full-size plan, offering a touch of nostalgia to hang on your wall. While the Tornado retains its classic 70s design, it benefits from modern manufacturing techniques, including veneered foam wings and laser-cut wood components, ensuring precision, ease of assembly, and long-term durability.
