Tough, Practical, and Built for the Backcountry – A Stand-Off Scale RC Workhorse
Modeled after classic North American bush planes, the Arctic Tern is a stand-off scale radio control model designed to capture the rugged charm and utility of real backcountry aircraft. With a 56-inch wingspan and optimized for .19 to .25-size glow engines, this versatile model is perfect for short-field takeoffs, smooth landings, and relaxed sport flying — just like its full-scale inspiration.
The Arctic Tern's design features a high-wing configuration, sturdy taildragger stance, and excellent ground handling, making it ideal for rough field operation. The printed plans are drawn for straightforward balsa and plywood construction, offering a fast build with rewarding flying characteristics. There's plenty of room for detailing or float conversions if you want to take it further.
