Developed around a proven classic formula, it combines smooth precision handling, excellent wind penetration, and predictable tracking with today’s advanced construction methods and modern power system flexibility.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to accommodate tuned-pipe glow, gasoline, and contemporary electric power systems, the Loaded Dice preserves the flowing lines and stable geometry that made classic F3A airplanes highly respected, while integrating practical ARF engineering for today’s pilots.\u003cbr\u003eDespite its competition inspired design philosophy, the airplane remains smooth, forgiving, and highly enjoyable to fly. It delivers stable tracking, smooth energy retention, and accessible handling throughout the flight envelope. The fixed gear configuration maintains the timeless character of the original design, while optional electric retract landing gear compatibility enables a cleaner vintage pattern presentation. Clean aerodynamics, balanced setup, and predictable handling define the foundation of this design.\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClassic Pattern Performance, Modernized\u003cbr\u003e• Designed for both glow tuned-pipe and electric 70E configurations\u003cbr\u003e• Stable, precise, and confidence-inspiring flight characteristics\u003cbr\u003e• Excellent axial roll performance and neutral maneuver response\u003cbr\u003e• Smooth energy retention through large aerobatic sequences\u003cbr\u003e• Optimized airframe structure for improved balance, rigidity, and precision flight performance: Premium balsa and airplane-grade plywood construction and landing gear mounting structure.\u003cbr\u003e• Two-piece plug-in wing system featuring fast-connect hardware for rapid field assembly and convenient transport\u003cbr\u003e• Airfoil-shaped tail surfaces designed for stable tracking and smooth aerobatic response\u003cbr\u003e• Optimized for Modern Power Systems: Large magnetic top hatch for instant equipment access, improved internal airflow management for enhanced cooling efficiency with clean fuel system routing and dedicated internal structural layout for traditional tuned-pipe or contemporary electric installations\u003cbr\u003e• Factory-applied premium heat-shrink covering with a high-visibility classic pattern color scheme\u003cbr\u003e• Professional-Grade Finish \u0026amp; Hardware: Painted fiberglass cowling, durable PU rubber wheels, and a robust steerable tailwheel assembly\u003cbr\u003e• Main Landing Gear Configurations: Standard version includes durable piano wire main landing gear with CNC-machined aluminum mounting systems for field-friendly setup.
