PlaySteam ZT-Model Global Hawk RC Seaplane Trainer Kit XA08801

Model Overview

PlaySteam’s red Global Hawk XA08801 is a 2.4 GHz radio-controlled trainer from ZT-Model. The foam aircraft comes partly assembled, with a wheeled undercarriage and optional floats for water use.

Control & Operation

Flight control is tailored to pilots at different skill levels with three operational modes: Beginner, Advanced and Professional. A six-axis gyro provides self-correcting stability, helping keep flights steady while you learn manoeuvres or practise precision flying. The control package also includes One Button Rescue to quickly recover orientation, Throttle Lock for safe handling on the ground and Low Voltage Protection to safeguard electronics during use.

Construction Features

The preformed foam sections are supplied with servos and linkages already fitted. The remaining work includes assembling the landing gear, tail surfaces, wing sections and propeller and connecting the control linkages.
