Aeroworks 52” Freestyle Extra 260 Pricing update:

Due to a large volume of preorders and sales, as well as the overwhelming response we saw from our Valentines sale we have been able to increase or production order for the 52” Freestyle Extra 260 QB-L. With this increase in production we have been able to lower the price of many of the components that it takes to build the airplane. Aeroworks has decided to pass our savings on to the customer by lowering the price of our incredible new Freestyle Extra 260 QB-L to $249.95! This new price will go into effect immediately so if you have been on the fence about getting one now is the time!

So far all of the flight reports we have received have been very positive and we are looking forward to hearing more from all of the pilots who are currently building theirs!







Here is a video of Jason Danhakl flying his from last week:

The airplanes are in stock and going fast so be sure to order yours soon!
