TH 39" EPP ARES XL JET

Ares XL: 39-Inch EPP Sport Jet

The Ares XL expands the original indoor Ares into a larger outdoor EPP sport jet with the smooth, realistic feel of a much larger aircraft. Developed with Krill Aircraft and Jack Jehle, it delivers precise handling, strong low-speed control, and excellent energy retention for confident turns, fast passes, and aerobatic flight.

Its fully airfoiled wing and reinforced lightweight construction provide stability, durability, and composed performance in moderate wind. Dual aileron servos provide accurate control, while the centrally mounted motor helps protect the propeller during landings.
