The Slick 580 is widely regarded as one of the most capable aerobatic aircraft designs ever created for extreme freestyle and 3D aerobatics. The Phoenix Model Slick 580 67" ARF V2 brings this legendary performance to RC pilots with a powerful, lightweight and highly agile 67-inch aerobatic aircraft.

Designed with composite-reinforced balsa and plywood construction, the airframe combines impressive strength with low weight, resulting in outstanding flight characteristics. The Slick 580 excels at both precise aerobatic manoeuvres and aggressive 3D flight, making it ideal for manoeuvres such as harriers, knife-edge passes, waterfalls, torque rolls and hovering.

For convenience and reliability, the aircraft features plug-in wings with the Smart Lock system, allowing fast assembly at the flying field while simplifying transport. A removable canopy and removable horizontal stabiliser provide easy access to batteries, radio equipment and servos.

Premium components include carbon fibre main landing gear and tail gear, a carbon fibre spinner, and factory-painted fibreglass cowling and wheel pants, ensuring durability while maintaining a professional appearance.

The model supports both electric and petrol power setups, offering flexibility for pilots who prefer the simplicity of electric power or the realism and sound of petrol engines in the 20–26cc class.

With its excellent power-to-weight ratio, strong airframe and precise control system using ball linkages and metal pushrods, the Phoenix Model Slick 580 V2 delivers incredible aerobatic capability and is a fantastic choice for pilots looking for a large, high-performance 3D aerobatic RC aircraft.
