Joker 36

Wing and Fuselage cores only.  The Joker 36 is an all EPP forward swept flying wing designed for affordable fun, speed and agility.  With optional rudder installed it’s the funnest flying wings we have ever flown.  At a span of 36″ it will easily fit in your trunk/back seat for quick flights at your favorite field or park.  The forward swept design maintains energy in the turns and allows it to handle winds as if it were a much larger aircraft.  It also has great stall characteristics and a wide speed range.  Overall a great option for those looking to buy/build a fun sport aero plane with the durability of EPP.
