BJ Craft Ultimate Strato 2M F3A RC Airplane ARF – Swept Wing

The BJ Craft Ultimate Strato 2M F3A RC Airplane ARF – Swept Wing is a premium 2-meter pattern aircraft designed by BJ Park and manufactured by BJ Craft for pilots who want a stable, confidence-inspiring airplane for modern F3A flying.

This swept wing version is built for smooth tracking, predictable handling, and reduced pilot correction, making it an excellent choice for pilots who prefer a more locked-in feel throughout precision aerobatic sequences.

Why Choose the Swept Wing Strato?

The swept wing configuration is ideal for pilots who want a pattern airplane that feels stable and composed in the air. Compared to a less swept design, this version offers a smoother, more settled feel in flight and can help reduce correction workload during long, precise maneuver sequences.

• Smooth, stable tracking
• Confidence-inspiring flight feel
• Reduced correction through precision maneuvers
• Excellent choice for pilots who value consistency and predictability

Who This Airplane Is For

• Intermediate to advanced RC pilots moving into serious pattern flying
• Experienced F3A pilots who prefer a more stable, locked-in airframe
• Pilots flying in variable or windy conditions where tracking matters
• Modelers looking for a premium 2-meter competition-style ARF platform

Swept Wing vs. Standard Wing

Choosing between the two Strato versions depends on the feel you want in the air:

• Swept Wing: more stable feel, smoother tracking, less correction required
• Standard / Less Sweep Wing: quicker response, more agile feel, more direct control character

If your priority is a calmer, more settled airplane for precision line work, the Swept Wing is the stronger choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BJCraft Ultimate Strato Swept Wing good for beginners?

This airplane is best suited for intermediate to advanced pilots. It is a precision 2-meter F3A platform rather than an entry-level trainer.

What is the main benefit of the swept wing version?

The swept wing version offers a more stable, smoother tracking feel with reduced correction through maneuvers.

Does this airplane support contra and single prop setups?

Yes. The airframe supports both. Contra setups do not require side thrust, while single propeller setups do require side thrust.

What CG should I start with?

The listed CG is 220mm from the leading edge at the wing root.
