"T-CLIPS" is no ordinary clipped wing Taylorcraft. Originally a stock 1939 Taylorcraft, this is the only clipped wing T'craft in the world currently flying airshows with an original size engine. |
Airshow pilot Erik Edgren refers to this as "Twistin It Old School". SIG is proud to team up with Erik and offer a new R/C model of his one-of-a-kind airplane.

Designed for electric power, the new SIG T-CLIPS EP is a pure aerobatic delight. It's not meant to be an exact scale model, but more of an everyday no-frills flying field favorite.
|
Voted by pilots as the "Best New R/C Airplane At SEFF 2013".

T-CLIPS performing |
|
Fin covering flows beautifully into the fuselage just like the full-scale T-CLIPS. Steerable Tailwheel Assembly included.
|
This balsa ARF features a semisymmetrical airfoil and strong light weight construction.
|
Factory painted fiberglass Cowling recreates the look of the full-size T-CLIPS.
|
Sturdy Aluminum Landing Gear, light weight Wheels, and factory-painted Fiberglass Wheel Pants that mount with two screws.
|
Put in a "32" or "40" size brushless motor with a 4S battery pack and you're favorite new takeoff style will be a short roll and then straight up. Loops, rolls, snaps, and spins are routine with the T-CLIPS and the basis for more advanced 3D style maneuvers.
