SIAI MARCHETTI SF 260
The SIAI MARCHETTI SF260 is an exceptional
military training aircraft.
Designed in the 60's, it is still much better today
than most modern aircraft.
The characteristics of its wing give it
a ight behavior close to that of a warbird.
Like the original, this sports model has fantastic ying qualities.
The radio controlled model that we suggest you to print
is a faithful reproduction on a 1/7th scale
of the SIAI MARCHETTI SF260.
