Description
The Max Thrust Ruckus – Chippy (part MAXB-RUCKUS-CHIP) is a Pro-Built balsa/ply ARTF airframe finished in the eye-catching pseudo Chipmunk scheme. Created as a versatile follow-on trainer with genuine aerobatic capability, it blends superb slow-speed manners with the durability of a CNC-cut structure and tough, easy-clean film covering. Build it for i.c. or electric power; a comprehensive hardware pack is included for both options, along with a factory-painted glass fibre cowl and spats.
Taking the proven design cues of the foam Ruckus, this traditional build maintains the agile, confidence-inspiring handling club pilots value. Suggested compatibility includes .40–.46 two-stroke i.c. setups or a 4S electric system, with the manufacturer also citing .52 i.c. and an 800KV outrunner as strong options. The bold, high-visibility colour scheme aids orientation for everyday flying at the patch.

Details
Developed to give pilots a slightly more agile, edgy envelope than the Riot, the Balsa Pro-Built Ruckus retains the exemplary handling of the EPO model in a durable, film-wrapped airframe. Power options are numerous; the prototype used a .46cu.in. 2-stroke and the manufacturer notes that a .52 also fits well, delivering strong vertical. For electric, the cited setup is a Radient 4250 800KV outrunner with a Radient 4S 2600mAh LiPo, providing abundant power and respectable flight duration. A superb club model for aerobatic trainees through to seasoned flyers, the Ruckus – Chippy scheme brings individuality and practicality to all-field flying.

Specifications
Hot on the heels of the Riot and capitalising on its resounding success, the Ruckus was designed to offer a slightly more agile and edgy performance envelope for pilots who are looking to hone their skills and develop their aerobatic repertoire. No surprise, then, that the Balsa Pro-Built Ruckus takes all the exemplary design cues and flying characteristics of the EPO model and offers them in the form of a beautifully built, highly durable, CNC-cut balsa, ply and film-wrapped airframe. Whilst solo pilots of all skill levels love the foamie Ruckus, traditionalists crave the added longevity offered by the ding-resistant, easy-clean (and visually bold) film-covered surface of this balsa-built aircraft.
In a package that leaves little to chance, the kit comes with a full hardware pack that includes all the fittings and accessories required, not least the engine / motor mounts necessary for both i.c. or electric power options.
Available in three pre-finished colour schemes (red, pseudo P-51 or pseudo Chipmunk) there’s something here for everyone, not least the opportunity to maintain some individuality at the patch.
Power options are numerous and whilst the prototype used a .46cu. in. 2-stroke, a .52 would fit the bill just as well, offering outstanding vertical performance in the process. The electric version suits a Radient 4250 800KV outrunner perfectly which, hooked to a Radient 4S 2600mAh LiPo, offers an abundance of power and a very respectable duration.
A superb club model that suits everyone from aerobatic trainees to B-certificate campaigners and hardened professionals, the Balsa Pro-Built Ruckus is an absolute blast and a must-have hack for all fields, all conditions and all occasions.
