This is how Hobby King describes this new Bush RC Plane For Beginners:

""Learn to Fly the Tundra Way" with the Prime Tundra PT1200. This is yet another addition to the extremely popular Tundra series of STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) airplanes from Durafly, but this RTF (Ready To Fly) version is aimed primarily at the novice. The PT1200 is the perfect STOL trainer as it inherits the excellent STOL flying characteristics of the Tundra lineage.

A first in the Tundra story is that the PT1200 RTF is supplied ready to fly, it comes not only with the 3-Axis ORX gyro, motor, propeller, ESC, and 6 digital servos, it is also supplied with a Turnigy T6A-V2 6ch transmitter, and receiver radio system. Everything comes pre-installed, and pre-set from the factory, just do the final assembly, add batteries (not supplied), and fly!

If you do not have the luxury of having an experienced pilot to teach you how to fly RC, then the PT1200 RTF is for you. The PT1200 is the most stable Tundra to date even without a gyro but coupled with the pre-installed ORX 3-axis gyro it is taken to another level. The gyro has 3 settings, gyro off, gyro on, and training mode. In the training mode, the gyro gives full stability and also limits the amount of roll and pitch that can be used. In gyro on mode, this gives slightly less aided stability and does not limit the roll or pitch that can be used. In gyro off mode, it is exactly that, no gyro at all.

The PT1200 is the perfect choice for a very first RC airplane due to its rugged and simple lightweight construction in EPO foam, its fast and easy assembly which does not require any gluing, and its completely factory-installed and factory set-up power and radio system. All this coupled with its superb, and very benign handling characteristics make it the most stable and sedate of the Tundra family up to now, which means it is the perfect introduction to RC flying.

The PT1200 is supplied with the exact same tried and tested big wheels from the original Tundra which makes them perfect for every type of surface, be it a runway or a mountain track. This, with the large flaps, makes the PT1200 a very versatile aircraft, and that versatility extends to the wing mounting system too. It is supplied with a choice of a 'Bolt-on, or Band-on' wing mounting option, band on wings have always been considered the best option for training.

Once you have enjoyed flying your PT1200 on the land, then why not try the optional float set. If you have never flown a model off of water before, and have never experienced the pure joy and fun of doing so, then the Prime Tundra PT1200 is the perfect model to get your water wings with!
