Our Rebel MAX is the most significant line of Rebel Sport Jets. In 2018, CARF-Models acquired the rights and molds from Pirotti Models. Little did we know how successful these Rebels would get. New molds and an extensive redesign in detail, paired with the well-known CARF-Models product quality, made any of the Rebels an instant hit. The "MAX" is no exception. However, he was the newest of the pack, and we only realized how unbelievably good this airplane was over the first production year. The removable nose makes the most significant part, the front fuselage, the same size as its more minor brother, the Rebel PRO. That ensured no additional transportation problems for a Jet scaled up as big as possible to safely build and fly below the 25 kg limit.
The Rebel MAX is a flagship sport jet in impressive size, but guaranteed below the ever so important 25 kg limit. Our prototype turned out to weigh 18.5 kg dry. That even leaves some room for smoke! Transportation is still no big issue due to the 3-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 MAX:
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 MAX 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 MAX, 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:
The bigger the Rebels get, the less wingloading thy have. The MAX is consequently the lightest of them all... Constant speed, extremely slow fly bys with fully deployed flaps, that Rebel MAX is a dream to fly.
From an effortless short take-off through smooth flight routines this airplane especially installs confidence in any pilot who controls it. The old saying is especially true here: What looks good, flies good.... The sleek aerodynamics have taken all Rebels to the highest level of sport jets, rock solid when flown slowly, and a racing thoroughbred when the throttle is opened up. The clean, beautiful lines allow smooth, slow and fast aerobatics while tracking like on rails... Even the biggest one, the MAX, is perfectly powered with a 180-220 N engine. Take off and landing distances are short enough for any flying field. Tarmac or grass strips are equally suited. Fast rolls, slow rolls, point rolls, large loops and cubans... and most impressive the slow flights. You'll enjoy the wide spektrum, we promise.
That Rebel MAX will be built easily in a week or two, because only the equipment installation is left for you. Everything else is already built. And you can rely on CARF that the gear and the recommended servos will be a drop in fit! Rigging large Sport Jet is always somewhat time consuming if done nice and right, but it will be all worth it if you take your time. The large canopy lets everyone look inside and if things are installed neatly, everybody can enjoy it...
The CARF-Models Rebel MAX is an excellent model airplane, particularly for those who enjoy precision aerobatics. It's a great choice for your weekend flying sessions because of its mix of high performance and user-friendliness. One of its standout features is its light wing loading, which is the lightest in its category among jets. This makes the Rebel MAX very maneuverable and responsive, enhancing your flying experience. Whether you're an experienced pilot or a beginner, the Rebel MAX offers a unique and enjoyable flying experience, making it a fantastic addition to your collection of model airplanes.

The MAX is the smoothest, most relaxed-flying jet out there. It delivers precise, stable aerobatic maneuvers—and then surprises with incredibly tight turns no one expects! Thanks to its large, deep wings, I call it the “dragon” of sport jets. During a slow pass, you can literally walk alongside it. I highly recommend the Rebel MAX as a first jet or even a first RC plane—especially with a buddy box setup. It’s the slowest in its class and simply unmatched in approachability.
Max Chrubasik (Team & Factory Pilot)
The most “point and shoot” airplane on the market – from the very first flight, it tracks straight as an arrow without any trimming required. I've never flown a model that feels so perfectly neutral in every attitude and phase of flight.
