  • Escapade Sport .40-.55 GP/EP ARF 52.5in by Great Planes

Ready to be a favorite right from the start!

A pilot might own many planes, but there's always one that stands out as the all-time favorite. That's what Great Planes designed the Escapade GP/EP ARF to be. If you've mastered a trainer, you can fly it with confidence – and when you've flown it once, you'll always be eager for the next chance to enjoy its easy handling and nimble aerobatics.
  • Easy-to-install mounts for glow engines and brushless motors
  • No-mod set ups for single-servo or dual-servo ailerons
  • Built-up airframe
  • Bolt-on wing and tail surfaces, landing gear and wheel pants
  • Prehinged control surfaces
  • Striking MonoKote trim scheme
Great Planes Escapade GP/EP ARF - tail
Bolt-on tail surfaces drastically cut assembly time!
Great Planes Escapade GP/EP ARF - battery hatch
Removing the factory-built battery “hatch” also gives you easy access to onboard gear. Magnets in the hatch and fuselage provide a strong bond and a simple way to reattach the hatch after use.
Great Planes Escapade GP/EP ARF - two-piece wing
The two-piece wing assembles quickly, providing accurate alignment automatically.
Great Planes Escapade GP/EP ARF - wheel pants
The fiberglass wheel pants are factory-painted to match the MonoKote trim scheme.
 
This is the radio controlled, glow or electric powered, almost ready to fly
Great Planes Escapade Sport Airplane.

**Great Planes offers an optional Cowl for the Escapade, GPMA3259.**
