The North American AT-6 Texan is one of the most well-known advanced trainer aircraft used during WW II. Often referred to as "the Pilot Maker" it was used by several countries well into the 1950s and during the Korean War. It was rugged and designed to prepare student pilots for more demanding, higher performance fighter aircraft. It was by no means an easy aircraft to fly but, it still remains a very popular and iconic warbird aircraft used for airshows and at the Reno Air Races. The AT-6 from HobbyKing is a nicely detailed scale warbird molded from durable EPO foam. With its later model all-yellow paint job, it has an exciting and attractive look both on the ground and in the air. If you are looking for a round engine warbird, you can't go wrong with this advanced trainer classic. With its relatively small wheels and retractable landing gear, you want to operate the Texan from a maintained flying field with short grass or a paved runway. There's ample thrust with the included scale propeller and bullet spinner set and a 2200mAh 3S LiPo pack provides excellent flight performance.
