{"product_id":"ft-retro-rocket","title":"FT Retro Rocket","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ft-product-long-description\"\u003eThe FT Retro Rocket is a combination of Buck Rogers, art deco, and our favorite acme rocket combined together to make something even the Wiley coyote would be proud to fly. The retrorocket is a passion project of Josh Bixler to create a jet that is only limited by your imagination. The goal was to bring the beautiful lines of the golden age of flight and combine them with unique experiences that anyone can enjoy whether you’re a beginner pilot, an aerobatic pilot, or you have a need for speed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ft-product-long-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Retro Rocket can be built as a prop driven lightweight pusher that is both maneuverable and capable of incredible aerobatics, especially when coupled with our FT thrust vector system. This gives the pilot the ability to have yaw control under power which enables flats spins and pinwheels at incredible RPMs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the classic looks and sound of a jet or what you’re passionate about, the FT Retro Rocket can easily accept our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flitetest.com\/products\/retro-rocket-edf-power-add-on\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e70 mm EDF fan\u003c\/a\u003e and can deliver amazing performance, efficiency, and speed on a 6S 2200mAH battery.  With this configuration, you can expect great speed and performance with an incredible sound due to the large side intakes that guide air directly to the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional capabilities are unlocked when you couple the Retro Rocket with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flitetest.com\/products\/flite-test-aura-5-lite\"\u003eFT Aura 5\u003c\/a\u003e.  Simply by installing one of our Retro Rocket configuration files, you can easily unlock features like air brakes, thrust vectoring, and so much more.  The FT Aura 5 is also a great solution for beginner pilots, who wish to have features like launch assist and level assist. Both these features make taking off and flying enjoyable and approachable for even the newest pilots even on windy days. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Retro Rocket also has great options like our unique \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flitetest.com\/products\/park-flyer-low-wing-tricycle-gear\"\u003elanding gear system\u003c\/a\u003e, which can easily be removed or installed with a simple click. With the wide wheelbase, the Retro Rocket is a joy to takeoff and land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur hope is that the FT Retro Rocket inspires all pilots to take to the skies with the wonder and imagination from the inner child that is still within all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill on the fence?  Take to the skies with the FT Retro Rocket through the Wings Simulator and push the
