The Phoenix Model Tucano 60 MK2 ARF has been one of the most popular sport-scale aircraft models for years. Thanks to its excellent flight stability, low wing loading and precise handling characteristics, the Tucano is ideal as a first low-wing trainer while also offering impressive aerobatic performance for experienced pilots.
Reinforced Construction
The proven balsa wood structure has been reinforced in key areas on the MK2 version, allowing the use of more powerful electric or glow engine setups. Despite the stronger construction, the model remains lightweight with a flying weight of approximately 4.3 to 4.8 kg.
Electric or Glow Power
The Tucano 60 MK2 is designed for both modern brushless electric systems and traditional glow engines, offering maximum flexibility depending on personal preference.
High Level of Prefabrication
The lightweight and durable laser-cut balsa construction features an impressive prefabrication level of approximately 95%. The model comes factory-covered and painted, significantly reducing assembly time.
Mechanical Retractable Landing Gear
The Tucano 60 MK2 includes a factory-installed shock-absorbing mechanical retract system. Compared to the pneumatic gear used on the predecessor, the mechanical setup provides improved reliability and easier maintenance.
Realistic Scale Details
The detailed cockpit, painted pilot figures and authentic Brazilian Air Force-inspired color scheme give the Tucano an impressive scale appearance both on the ground and in the air.
