Brand “X” is a spinoff from the Suraci Project, which explores the parameters of “freestyle” flight.  This style of flying demands a sloper that is full house capable (less the independent “flaps” on true full house planes) or what has become known as “4-Axis” flying.


This version is an attempt to design a plane that is lighter and more agile than the Suraci.  While the Suraci at 36 ounces, is more than suitable for “freestyle” flying, it requires slightly heavier wind conditions than does Brand “X.”

One of the significant changes is in the area of  fuse construction.  Pictured to the left is a layout of gear.  The 3/16” hard balsa is sandwiched between two layers of EPP.  This allows for a thinner yet stronger fuse.  The balsa also serves as a template for marking both EPP sides. 

As the redesigned Axis 50, the Axis II is one of the most researched aerobat slopers on the market today.  Every consideration have been made to develop the finest 4-axis sloper in its weight class.  Designed to perform nearly every aerobatic move in the book, the Axis is only limited by the pilots imagination.  The Axis II is dedicated to the art of “freestyle” flying.  Incorporating the French approach called VTPR, “freestyle” is a close-in highly aerobatic style that will challenge the skills of even the most seasoned pilot.
