Ready to be a favorite right from the start!
A pilot might own many planes, but there's always one that stands out as the all-time favorite. That's what Great Planes designed the Escapade GP/EP ARF to be. If you've mastered a trainer, you can fly it with confidence – and when you've flown it once, you'll always be eager for the next chance to enjoy its easy handling and nimble aerobatics.
