Description
The Max Thrust Ruckus - Chippy (part number MAXB-RUCKUS-CHIP) is a balsa, ply and film-covered ARTF radio-controlled aeroplane in a Chipmunk-style colour scheme, with a 1,380 mm wingspan and mounts for either i.c. or electric power. It follows the Riot and is aimed at pilots who want a slightly more agile model for developing their aerobatic skills. It takes the design and flying characteristics of the foam EPO Ruckus and builds them in a CNC-cut balsa and ply airframe.
The film covering is ding-resistant and easy to clean, which suits pilots who want a longer-lasting airframe than foam. This Chipmunk-style finish is one of three pre-finished schemes, the others being red and a P-51-style design. The kit includes a factory-painted glass fibre cowl and spat set, plus a hardware pack with engine and motor mounts for both power routes.
For i.c. power, the suggested range is a .40 to .52cu.in. 2-stroke. The prototype used a .46, and a .52 is expected to give strong vertical performance. For electric power, the manufacturer suggests a Radient 4250 800KV outrunner with a 4S 2600mAh LiPo. The model is described as a follow-on trainer with good slow-speed handling, for pilots from aerobatic beginners to experienced competition fliers. It is recommended for ages 14 and over and should be flown at a designated R/C model flying site.

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.

Customer Reviews
This kit is a fantastic 1st low wing plane, and the difference between this and a foamie is night and day.
I used this as my aircraft of choice on a BMFA F3A trainer day to learn precision aerobatics, and it did not disappoint. Even the F3A champion that was training me commented on how good it was.
