Overview

From a project that began as a “what if” with acclaimed full-scale builder Kevin Kimball and Quique Somenzini, the Inverza is a contemporary concept designed to harness the power of the radial engine with the potential only possible in a monoplane platform. For the finishing touches, Mirco Pecorari shared his expertise by complementing the modern concept with a stunning color scheme.


Although the full scale Jim Kimball Enterprises Inverza™ airplane is yet to be built, you can enjoy the most balanced aircraft ever to be introduced for the aerobatics community. The Hangar 9® Inverza 33 aerobat has been developed to take advantage of both the emerging 30cc gas engine and 180-class outrunner electric power system popularity. Designed by the master, Quique Somenzini, whose pursuit of precision elevated him through the Extra and Yak aircraft series, the new Inverza concept promises to become his next great contribution. With its modern outline and features, the Inverza offers “no compromise” precise aerobatic capability for both scale aerobatics and aggressive 3D. Its massive control surfaces and generous wing area makes it very stable and predictable during the most demanding 3D maneuvers such as those that occur at slow speed, or while in a hover. The design also takes advantage of all the previous designs Quique worked with before making the Inverza not only a new benchmark in precision, but also an evolutionary step toward achieving an aircraft with balanced maneuverability. When setup correctly, no matter what attitude the Inverza is flown, very little to no control coupling is evident whether the maneuver is upright, inverted or knife-edge. The result is a flight experience that’s pure even when you’re control input is aggressive.


Covered in genuine UltraCote®, its balsa/balsa-plywood structure is strong and light, while Mirco Pecorari’s original color scheme offers stunning looks, incredible ground presence and high visibility in the air. Its two-piece wing connects with a carbon fiber wing tube and the ailerons and elevators are pre-hinged with a tight seal so you can get flying faster. The oversized hatch features a tinted canopy, scale instrument detail and an ideal location for the pilot figure of your choice. Other great features include a factory painted aluminum landing gear, plus a factory painted fiberglass cowl and matching wheel pants.

Power it with the Evolution® Engines 33GX 30cc gas engine, the Inverza 33 is ideal for entry-level aerobatic pilots and giant-scale fans looking to modernize with a sensibly sized airframe bursting with performance. For those who prefer electric, the E-flite® Power 180 outrunner on a 10S Li-Po battery system can deliver unbridled performance.

I've been hearing about this airframe.... and oh my it looks like it could be a 'MUST HAVE' for me :-)
The price certainly ain't bad either all things considered... if it has nearly the performance that Horizon claims, it's sure to be a great one :-D

I think Kevin Kimball and Quique Somenzini have pulled out all stops in designing and getting this plane to mraket. As with a previous highly successful Quique plane (i.e. Yak 54), I am sure this will be a "must have" plane for many.

Hardly anything has been written about this plane, but it is already "Out of Stock" on Horizon's web site. I have been looking for a 30cc plane and this looks perfect.

I have been in a personal debate about which plane I wanted to get for the DLE 30 sitting in my garage. This plane was on it for a long time, but it lost out to the Aeroworks Cessna 195. I have been looking at the Horizon Hobby website and am not sure if it has ever been in stock. Like the Mosquito from Parkzone, I think they are just taking preorders. However, I am not 100% sure on the Inverza.

Early Dec 2013 is what Hangar 9 is calling it today..
same for the micro AS3X Extra 300... since We're down to only indoor flying here in Minnesota, I'm anxiously awaiting my new Extra

You're really going to like the little Extra. My neighbor has one and we flew it at the local park a couple of weeks ago when there was almost no wind. It is sweet and will do anything you want it to. It was spot on right out of the box and only needed one click of elevator trim. By the way i just got the AS3X Mustang and it is also a blast..

I have one of Horizon's "funtana" planes , and have come to the conclusion that just about everything in their Hangar is a winner
