General Information

The Rebel Classic 2m is a famous Sport Jet in the Pirotti Models "REBELS" family. After CARF-Models had taken on the production, marketing, and sales of all the REBEL variants of Pirotti Models, this 2m version was the one we put the most effort into. Since the production tooling was old and worn, we decided to make a new mold after upgrading the construction details based on many years of customer experience, also in discussion with Mauro Pirotti, who gave us valuable advice on what his customers loved and what they criticized at times. 

The Rebels all feature this typical Italian design, a little like the charismatic Italian supercars we all know very well. Italian Design and German Engineering have never been a bad combination, so all the Rebels will now be hard to beat! We all hope that by joining forces with CARF-Models’ powerful production plant, all the Rebels can be provided faster, in top-notch quality, and with much higher prefabrication than before.

The Classic 2m Rebel is now for sure the best in its size. CARF has put all its skills and experience into the prefabrication of the kit and the painting of the schemes, the scope of which will continue to expand.

Of course, all available schemes are painted in the molds and in some areas touched up from outside, to represent a flawlessly shiny surface, seam-free in all directly visible areas. All 4 sizes of the Pirotti Rebels will be available with the CARF-typical new level of quality and prefabrication, so no less so will the smallest of them all, the Rebel CLASSIC.

The CARF-Models Rebel CLASSIC, the ideal standard plane for everyone!

ARF KIT

The hardware included in the kit meets the highest quality standards and is made in Germany by reputable manufacturers. High-quality ball links and clevises, zinc-plated all-thread pushrods, and 8.8 or better strength valued, blackened allen bolts and nickel-plated self-tapping screws. More hardware is simply not needed in the otherwise highly prefabricated airplane. 

KIT Details

Everything is ready for the installation of RC components, linkages, wiring, servos, engine, electric landing gear, battery packs; there is simply no "building" to be done. It is all about equipment installation ONLY. 

Fuselage: 

• Wing and stab tubes in perfect alignment
• Fixtures to hold the wing and stab in place
• Nose gear mount to accept our stock gear without any rework
• Engine mount for 100-140 N engines, aligned and ready to accept the thrust tube
• Stiffening formers and spars for the vertical fin and thrust tube
• The rudder servo is designed to be fixed to a readily installed servo hatch.
• Fuselage hatch with hooks and hatch latch, readily operational

The wings contain the following factory-built features:

• Servo mounts for flaps are installed and ready to drop in the servos
• Aileron servos are designed to be fixed to the servo hatch for the easiest maintenance
• Gear mounts are made from Finnish airplane-grade birch plywood with carbon reinforcements where needed
• Cutouts for struts and wheels are done

The stabs are just as complete: 

• Servo mounts for elevator servos are installed and ready to drop in the servos
• Fixture bolts to hold the stabs on the fuselage are installed

Landing Gear

The Rebel classic 2m is designed to accept an economically priced JP e-retract system with wheels and e-brakes. This gear is of very high quality and has proven reliable in hundreds of other applications. However, an Electron gear set can also be fitted if the customer wants to. We provide an ARF-Plus package containing the complete landing gear, the fuel tank, and the thrust tube, all preinstalled in the airplane, which is highly recommended, as you get the value of this preinstallation almost free of charge.

Accessories

For our Rebel CLASSIC, we offer a wide range of accessories. These include the electric retractable landing gear, fuel tank, thrust tube, and an optional UAT. In addition, we offer high-quality MacGregor servos in combination with our very own CARF-Models servo arms – perfectly matched to the model and the demands of a high-performance sport jet.

Various Color Schemes

Available as usual, in various stock color schemes, with individual color swaps, or even in a completely custom scheme. In the following pics, you can see a few attractive schemes which could be done:

Flying Characteristics

To discuss the flying performance of a Rebel, no matter what version or size, seems like carrying coals to Newcastle... The Rebels are docile, precise, and predictable airplanes to fly. The CARF construction is strong, rigid, and reliable, making it the combo you are looking for. The 2m size is just a little bigger than the "pocket plane" but not as big as a full-size sport jet today. It had been the first of all Rebels, but might now be the best match for today's needs, especially after all has been made new...
