    The Tundra has firmly established itself in the RC community and has now become the go to model for most RC pilots. From intermediate pilots to the more experienced flier this plane will do it all. The Tundra is an extremely versatile plane that is great fun to fly and is highly entertaining for all pilots with its excellent aerobatic potential, STOL flying ability and all round toughness.
    The Tundra V2 has had further improvements over the upgraded original version. Vortex generators have now been added to the leading edge of the wing to increase the stability at slow speeds. The undercarriage is now more secure and easier to install thanks to machine screws and brass inserts, the plastic landing gear cross brace mount is now made of metal for improved durability. Also included is a newly designed battery tray. The V2 still retains the improved wing connectors, wing mount, upgraded motor and Aerostar 40 amp ESC with reverse.
    Whether it is flying from rough fields, water, snow or sand, the Tundra takes it all on with ease. The Tundra has a wide flight envelope making it ideal for FPV flying, aerobatics, glider towing, candy dropping or just good old-fashioned super STOL slow flying,
    The tough EPO foam construction is beautifully finished and the Tundra design has a purposeful rugged look. Its lightweight design coupled with a powerful brushless set-up instantly gives you a feeling of confidence on the sticks as quickly as it puts a smile on your face.
    This rugged and reliable plane can also get into those tight and hard to land places with its huge flaps, vortex generators and extreme STOL performance. The large main wheels make it easy to land just about anywhere. Swap out the wheels for the supplied floats and you'll be flying from lakes, streams and other waterways.
    A quick change to the included FPV canopy will give you more extreme fun flying. More excitement can be found utilizing the built-in tow fitting for towing your friend’s gliders to the best thermals.
    Simply put the Tundra is an immense amount of fun to fly and you will be in the air very quickly due the very straightforward and speedy assembly process. Take on the very best mother nature can throw at you and still come up smiling. With the Tundra, there are no limits!

      bush flyers are boring when there is no wind. And when you have a big grass field available with shortly cut grass you can fly in almost any wind because of how little risk there is on landing. I have flown from tiny islands in the middle of rivers, to much wind and landings become to nerve wrecking. Medium constant winds are the best for bush flyers. Turbulent wind is not relaxing unless you have 3 axis stability.

    Bought a green Tundra soon after I first started flying (about April 2020) and loved it, until its inevitable newbie demise about four weeks later. Wanted to buy another, but they've been out of stock until just a couple of weeks ago. I ordered another and built it up a couple of nights ago, but haven't flown it yet. Can't wait! I expect it to stick around much longer as my skills have improved substantially since then (but still have a long way to go). I really believe it would be hard to find more value for the dollar in an aerobatic capable high-wing plane than the Tundra.
    BTW - I'd highly suggest you try an OMP Bighorn if you really want a performance/3D-capable high-wing airplane. It'll perform admirably on 3S 2200, but stick a 4S 3200 in it and it becomes an absolute BEAST!
    As always, thanks much for sharing.

    Hey John. Just retired an airplane today that I could never get to fly correct. Retired means Burred it nose first straight down into the dirt. Never flew correctly anyway. Time to get this one. Was the Tundra in this video stock. If not, what were the upgrades. Let me know please. Thanks.

      You need quite a lot, without any down elevator mix on stock unless you fly it super super nose heavy as soon as you go 90 degree flaps it shoots 45 degrees up even at low speeds. The best way to fly it to push your battery as far back as possible and even then you need some up trim cause of how nose heavy prone the plane is.
