Offering all-season, all-terrain, all-round performance, the Arrows Hobby Bigfoot is one model with something for everyone. Easy to fly, docile and tough, it is an ideal training platform for beginners: reduce the rates, go easy on the power and it will look after your circuits and bumps all day long.

That is only half of it. Turn the rates up and give it full stick and there is very little this versatile high-winger won't do, from hovering to wild aerobatics and even knife-edge. Tundra tyres, big flaps and plenty of power make it a true STOL machine that gets off the ground in a few metres and flies happily on a third throttle, so it is the model you reach for when the others seem too much hassle.

Finished in a Cessna 150-style colour scheme with a full set of landing and navigation lights, the Bigfoot comes with the Vector three-mode stabilisation system pre-installed: Stability (auto-levelling), Dynamic (wind damping, pilot keeps full control) and Direct (gyro off). Beginners can fly it with a safety net and experienced pilots can switch it off entirely. Vector works with any PWM or PPM receiver.

Spanning 1300mm, flying on a basic 6-channel radio and a 3S 2200mAh LiPo, it is light on cost too. The brushless outrunner, ESC, six servos and Vector unit are all factory installed and the control surfaces come pre-hinged and connected, so it is ready for your receiver and battery within about 30 minutes of opening the box.
