“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. This balsa ARF features a semi-symmetrical airfoil and strong light weight construction. Put in a “40” size brushless motor with a 4S battery pack and you’re favorite new takeoff style will be straight up. Loops, rolls, snaps, and spins are routine with the T-CLIPS and the basis for more advanced 3D style maneuvers.
