The box
 Few weeks later I received a parcel from Czechia.
Inside I found three little racers made of EPP.
They sent me all of the three Reno racers models available:
- Cosmic Wind
-
Midget Mustang
- El Bandito
The Cosmic Wind and the Midget Mustang are very similar. El Bandito has a mid-wing and looks a bit different.
Wingspan is 79 cm (31 in) and the flying weight should be around 220g (7.7 oz).
The recommended motor is the brushless Mega Force 330 also available from Hacker Model.
The game sounds simple and exciting: Organize pylon races with your friends and fly full speed!
The assembly instructions that come with the kits have a section describing the rules of pylon racing.
Don't look for a scale model inside the box, because you would be
disappointed. What you get is an EPP funflyer. The fuselage is a simple
profile and the whole model is made of tough crash resistant EPP foam.
The
three models are cnc cut and come already painted. There are only very
few parts to put together before you can rush to the flying field:
- The fuselage
- 2 half wings
- Horizontal stabilizer and rudder
- Complete landing gear with fairings and wheel covers
- The box also contains the hardware needed to install the radio (pushrods and control horns)
Assembly shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

Early summer 2005 the Czech model company 
Hacker Model also kindly provided a motor for testing the planes.
