|  | Plane of the Year
Our plane of the year is a 3D electric performer with a revolutionary single-axis, vectored-thrust propeller system that gives it amazing agility. In addition, it also has a unique structure of durable foam molded around carbon-fiber and plywood structures, so it's light, strong and impact-resistant—and as all RC pilots know, that's especially important!

It was the first EDF jet I ever saw fly, not counting Bob Violett's Electra which had made quite an impression on everyone at Florida Jets earlier that year.
