after many successful with Predator Jet we decided to develop NEW sportjet for new era. The Pilot-RC Matrix is an innovative approach to a new sport jet/ 3Djet. Great capabilities had to be combined between sport jet and unbeatable 3D performance. everything aerodynamic we tested and learned from Predator and develop together with one of the best pilot in the world for Matrix performance so we can say this is best ever sport jet with ultimate flying characteristics for precise aerobatics and 3D aerobatics at the same time.
The Matrix all feature and shape of airframe this from one of the best designer Mirco Pecorari from Aircraftstudiodesign, a little like the charismatic hypercars style.

FEATURES:
- Extremely lightweight full composite construction especially designed for outstanding sport flight with 3D performance
- Painted outside the mold so no seam lines
- Ultra light weight landing gear, the 2.2m predator sport jet V2 landing gear can use to the Matrix too.
- Specially designed easy access to turbine for speedy installation
- Field setup can be done in seconds, thanks to the quick releases on the wings without the need for any tools.
- the single elevator clamp from the top, only a few turns to tight/loose the bolt then you can install/take out the stabilizer.
- Removable wing and elevator for easy transport
- The equipment installation board make the electronic items with very clear installation. Most of the wire can be hidened.
- pre-install tube for the stab/rudder extension wire, easy to install.
- Option with vector tail pipe for 3D flight.
