Overview
The Rage R/C Spirit of St. Louis 4-Channel Micro RTF is a meticulously detailed scale recreation of Charles Lindbergh's historic Ryan NYP — the airplane that crossed the Atlantic in 1927. With a 22.75-inch wingspan, just 2.5 oz flying weight, and a full 4-channel control set (including ailerons), the Spirit delivers smooth, capable flight performance indoors and outdoors in light winds.
Scale fans will love the highly detailed 9-cylinder Wright Whirlwind dummy engine, full-airfoil wing with rib detail and fuel tank vents, scale landing gear and struts, and authentic "Ryan NYP" / N-X-211 graphics on the tail. Onboard you get a 3-in-1 control board (RX/ESC/2 servos) plus a separate 2.5g aileron servo, and the included 2.4GHz transmitter packs Rage's PASS (Pilot Assist Stability Software) so the Spirit's flight envelope grows with your skills.

Best for indoor flying (large gym/hall) or calm outdoor conditions — the lightweight airframe is sensitive to wind. Recommended for ages 14+.
