Flyinghobbies Jitterbug Review
Flyinghobbies Jitterbug Review
By Martin Hunter
Throughout the past few years, parkflyer aircraft have been exploding in popularity due to advances in technology, both in the area of electronics and kit design. Despite these advancements, one niche has remained open – a full house aerobatic parkflyer biplane. In what started as an entrant into an RCGroups design contest, the Jitterbug has grown to fill this gap. Along with combining the grace and aerobatic prowess of the pre-war designs such as the Bucker Jungmann, the Jitterbug also incorporates rather simple construction and a forgiving nature.
