About this product
The Kyosho Calmato Alpha 40 Sports Red 2026 (EP/GP) (item K.11272R) is Kyosho’s Calmato Alpha 40 a sports/aerobatic aircraft — an ARF (Almost-Ready-to-Fly) model that bridges the build-from-scratch RC plane and a fully assembled RTF. The Calmato Alpha sport line is a fun-flying platform with crisp aerobatic response.
Pre-covered and assembled in major sections, you supply the engine (typically a 0.40-0.46 cubic-inch glow or equivalent EP brushless), receiver, four/five servos, fuel tank/battery, and a four-channel radio. Final assembly is straightforward with the included hardware. Wing loading is light enough for grass strips and forgiving enough for windy days.
The Calmato Alpha line is widely supported in UK RC clubs and is one of the most-recommended models for pilots stepping up from foamies or simulators. Spares for the Calmato — wing sections, fuselage, undercarriage, propellers — are stocked through Kyosho UK distribution.
