PA-38 Tomahawk 1860mm (73.3") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1061-001
The PA-38 Tomahawk is a two-seater, low-wing cantilever monoplane boasting a T-tail and enclosed cabin. Boasting a fixed tricycle landing gear, it is powered by a Lycoming O-235 four-cylinder piston engine, along with a twin-bladed tractor propeller. With two front-hinged doors for easy cabin access, the Tomahawk was Piper's response to creating an affordable two-place trainer. Before designing the aircraft, Piper closely collaborated with flight instructors on the design, who requested a more spinnable aircraft, as current two-place trainers were designed to fly out of a spin without pilot input. The NASA GA(W)-1 Whitcomb airfoil solves this problem, requiring specific pilot input for spin recovery, allowing pilots to develop their spin-recovery skills.
The Nexa PA-38 Tomahawk is a .60 size electric scale series civilian trainer aircraft with a 1860mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes two piece wing with aluminum wing joiner, fiberglass cowl and spinner. A large battery tray provides ample space for any size battery you require.
