With the Super Skybolt ARF, the only things standing between the pilot and a first performance at the airfield are a few hours of fast, easy assembly. There's no need to build: The airframe is built light, strong and straight. The hardware is generous and Great Planes' best. And the performance is everything an aerobat could want: crisp and precise in execution, silky smooth in transition and adept at making a pilot's best look better than ever. The Super Skybolt offers the elegance of yesteryear's air show greats with the ease that comes with Great Planes' best ARF engineering.

Ready to take center stage in as little as 12-15 hours!

Almost a full pound lighter than the kit, for stronger climbs and quicker response overall.

Simplified strut design strengthens structures, speeds assembly — and eliminates unsightly screw-down brackets.

Fast, smooth and predictable in flight, with a long tail moment to ensure true tracking.

Performs classic air show maneuvers with ease and grace — just right for straight, level flight and impressive, low-level fly-bys!

Kit quality — ARF ease! The Super Skybolt is built like the best kits, with a lightweight wood airframe, a four-color trim scheme, painted fiberglass parts and Great Planes-brand hardware.
