Our Rebel PRO marks a complete departure from previous designs. With almost no elements derived from its predecessors, this aircraft represents a true revolution in the large-scale Aerobatic Market. Its uniqueness and distinctiveness make it a truly exceptional undertaking, one that was initially met with skepticism and deemed impossible by many. Yet, those naysayers were proven very wrong. The Rebel PRO defies both gravity and inertia, surpassing all expectations.
The Rebel PRO is a flagship sport jet in impressive size.. that even leaves some room for smoke! Transportation is still no big issue due to the 2-part fuselage and the easily removable wings and tail feathers. No matter how small or big it is - A Rebel is an all composite, well engineered airplane, with extreme strcutrual strength, perfectly painted surface and well working, durable accessories.
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 has never been a bad combination, so the 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 they used to be.
All 4 sizes of theRebels are available with the CARF-typical, new level of quality and prefabrication, so no different will be the biggest of them all the Rebel PRO:
As to be expected from a new CARF-Models design, a lot of exciting features have been built in. Let the following photos speak for themselves.
Like most of our Sport Jets, a high-performance Electron landing gear is provided as an accessory. The carbon sheeted gear mounts made from Finnish 7-ply aircraft plywood are integral to the kit and are designed for ruggedness and abuse. The Standard Electron gear is totally sufficient and fits these mounts perfectly. Electron wheels and brakes are well known for their quality and performance; they have no issue handling this large jet.
We offer an extremely high-quality assembly service, delivering a ARF+ or ready-to-fly PNP model – including turbine, complete servo and wiring installation, electric retractable landing gear, and pre-installed fuel tank. When you receive this model in the PNP version, final assembly takes just a few hours… A sport jet like our big Rebel PRO has never been easier to get airborne! At the same time, the pictures show what your model can look like once you’ve completed the build – a true masterpiece in both looks and engineering.
For our Rebel PRO, we offer a wide range of accessories. These include the electric retractable landing gear, fuel tanks, 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.
Like all our airplanes, the line of Rebels is no different. They boast meticulously applied PU paintwork, expertly executed in the molds. Explore a gallery of our stunning paint schemes in our shop, showcasing a collection of past projects, some of which were crafted to match unique customer requests. If you're seeking a personalized touch, we offer color swaps and completely custom designs developed through collaborative efforts between you and our skilled artists. Below are our Standard Schemes and a few standout examples:
Flying a Rebel PRO is a very special experience. You can take off at as little as 30% throttle, lift the nose long before the mains leave the ground, climb slowly while retracting the gear, and then line up for the first fly-by. The controls feel well balanced, not only when slow but also when you throttle up and let your RebelPRO go loose. It's very close to the performance of the Rebel MAX. It is just not all that floaty; instead, it has a bit more speed and presence in the air. It's 'moving,' so to say. Like with all Rebels, the CG can be moved aft so far that you would normally believe it's un-flyable. But it turns out that the further back the CG is set, the better and floatier it gets. With its flight envelope and wide speed range, the plane fascinates in every aspect. An experience any sincere Jet Pilot should never miss. A Rebel MUST be part of your fleet. If you can't handle the size of a MAX but still don't want to go too small, then the PRO is the one to go for. Absolutely.
The Carf-Models Rebel Pro is perhaps the perfect blend between low wing loading for slow flight and low drag which allows the Pro to carry speed and energy through vertical maneuvers with ease. It’s size allows it to be an every day workhorse as well as a show stopping aerobatic masterpiece. I love my Pro!

The Rebel is the most forgiving plane you’ll ever fly. It can go fast, it can go slow, it will do whatever you want it to do. It’s the mix out of a jet and a f3A plane. You can fly it at the smallest flying fields because it barely needs 60m to take off and 80m to land! You can buy it at any scheme you could imagine and it will turn out great! It’s the perfect every day sport jet with a great size, you can take it apart that the longest part of the fuselage is roughly over 2 meters… So if you wanna impress the neighbors daughter, you can do it with the rebel! It’s big, it’s precise, it’s beautiful! For me personally, the rebel is the way to go when you want a sport jet that’s affordable and flies like a f3A beginner plane!
