The Extrodinary XB-70"Valkyrie"Bomber is an all-molded foam ARF airplane, and comes in Natural Scale White, or painted in an attractive matte Grey finish. The special canard function and big delta wing makes this aircraft very stable in flight, and the flyability is quite astounding. This jet is large enough for very good visibility when flying. The thrust from the powerful 71 mm fan with the included 4 cell 2200 mAh LiPo battery will quickly accelerate the XB-70 into the air, flying at 100/mph - 160.934km/h plus! Landings are almost too easy! Bleed off some speed, line her up slightly nose high, and this bird will touch down like a feather every time:
This jet comes with a set of fixed landing gear, or retracts, your choice, no extra charge! The retracts are the close coupled servo operated, electro/mechanical type. This powerful electronic 71 mm Ducted Fan Jet has a high degree of scale simulation, and closely resembles the appearance with that of the United States Air Force Bomber. It also has a very stable inverted flight performance package, and can fly at low speed, and at low altitude for a well rounded flight envelope. Pilots will easily manage to put this bird through all types of todays high challenging flying. The high speed is better than 100/MPH plus. Assembly is a quick four steps, and will be easy enough for the first timers to ARF's.
The flight time, about six minutes to eight minutes or more with throttle management.
This Aircraft comes with the following: Wingspan 31.5" Fuselage 52" Flying weight, 830g Ducted fans Dimension, 71mm Motor, 2750KV brushless motor Thrust, 900g Battery, 2200mAh / 14.8 V 20C 4/Cell Li-Po, ESC 45Amp: Accessories Included For Your 4 to 6Ch. Tx/Rx Radio System, 3/peices 9g Servos for Fixed Gear, and 6 Servos w/Retracts: Sale Price w/Shipping: $275.00 USD: Charger/Balancer w/Second Battery, only $30.00 extra:

Hi All: I added a photo of the first, and last surviving proto-type of the two XB-70 Vakyries manfactured during the early 60's She now resides in Write-Patterson AFB Museum, Dayton OH: I added this photo, so you can make a comparison to the bird I have posted in my ad:
I hope you can see the similarities! Please feel free to ask anything that comes to mind when vewing this advertisement! Thank You For Your Interest: PARCS46

Hello, it says can be made with retracts. How would that work with a 4 channel radio? and also, are the cannards able to be articulated with an additional servo?
WHat servos does this come with, and also will it come RTF out of the box with minor work?

Hi Dave: These are close coupled electric/mechanical retracts operated off one channel port on your receiver, normally noted as Gear! Each of the gears has it's own servo, with with a separate extra servo for the nose wheel, and plugged into the rudder port on your receiver for steering the plane!
YOU WILL NEED A FOUR CHANNEL RECEIVER FOR THE FIXED GEAR VERSION, 5 TO 6 FOR RETRACTS!! THE BATTERY PORT EXCLUDED:
The Canards are not articulated, but rather glued to the fuse sides, at the correct incidence! This Aircraft is so highly manuverable, that the complete flight envelope is accomplished with elevons!
The Bird w/retracts comes with six 9g servos, not mentioned in the ad, and I will address that as the ad for the fixed gear XB-70 Valkyrie, and mention that the retract version has six servos: Also to be mentioned, is you may purchase a Charger plus one extra battery for an extra $30 Dollars, fifteen for each! Also a very good price:
All controlled flight is accomplished with elevons, to control pitch,and roll. This is all you need along with throttle control to fly this Bird to it's full potential! PLEASE REFER TO THE ADD?
I hope I have satisfactorily answered your questions, and if there is anything that you may need to have answered about this Bird in the future, by all means do not hesitate to ask! Thank You For Your Interest: PARCS46

I wish I could Thomas, but even at $275.00 I'm close to redlining? About the favorable experience, I don't see how anyone yet could say otherwise!
I have received some of the most unbeleivable questions imaginable about this bird, and Im sure I handeld every one of them in a very professional manner! Thanks For Your Interest: PARCS46
