Cox RTFs: Flying the way it oughta be!

You don't take up R/C because you enjoy spending hours at a workbench or shopping for parts — you do it because you enjoy flying.

You want to fly as much (and as often) as you can — and that's why we make Cox ready-to-fly airplanes so durable, simple to assemble and all-in-one complete. The less time you spend building and buying, the more time left for fun and flying.

Here's how Cox RTFs get you to the fun faster!

Ready-to-Fly when you are!

Cox RTFs are the closest thing to true "buy and fly" R/C you can find. Assembly takes a screwdriver and less than 5 minutes. And once you insert "AA" cells in the radio and charge the flight pack, there's nothing between you and the sky except a takeoff!

There's literally nothing left to buy. Everything you need (even the screwdriver! is in the box. There's a radio and "AA" batteries. A charger and a rechargeable flight battery good for up to 10 minutes of flying time. And a plane that arrives with a motor, speed control and radio gear already installed.

Easy does it...and Cox does it all!

Fly alone...or with friends!

One of the big pluses a Cox RTF offers is confidence, and a state-of-the-art 2.4GHz radio system plays a big part in providing it. Signals from other radios can't affect it — and nothing can touch it for dependable, trouble-free operation. You can fly alone or with friends, without waiting or interference worries. It's a full, 4-channel system like most R/C airplane radios, with this big plus: dual rates. The "New Pilot" setting offers you more reaction time and gentler handling — perfect for practicing basic flying skills. And once you've mastered them, the "Experienced Pilot" setting gives you the added responsiveness and agility you need to progress. To switch rates, just press down on the stick that controls them — and you're done. It's that easy.

FlightFlex: A crash course in durability.

When most planes crash, they break. But when a Cox RTF crashes, it bends — and light, durable, FlightFlex foam is the reason. Airframes made from balsa can't flex. A FlightFlex airframe does, allowing it to absorb crash energy. That prevents the airframe from breaking and protects the delicate electronics inside it, as well. Take a moment to regroup — and you're good to go again.

SafeProp Protection — a Cox exclusive!

With most planes, a nose-in crash means damage. It can be as minor as a broken prop, but can mean a bent motor shaft or worse. Fortunately, Cox RTFs have SafeProp — and SafeProp prevents damage. It pops off on impact to protect itself and to prevent damage to the rest of the plane.

Recovering from a crash is simple. Just pop SafeProp in place again — and you can be back in the air in seconds!

Cutting-edge control, all-in-one ease and solid protection — Cox RTFs offer all three, priced to make them solid values, too.
