About this product
The Kyosho Calmato Alpha 40 Trainer Red 2026 (Ep/Gp) (item K.11271R) is Kyosho’s Calmato Alpha 40 a beginner trainer aircraft — an ARF (Almost-Ready-to-Fly) model that bridges the build-from-scratch RC plane and a fully assembled RTF. The Calmato Alpha trainer line is one of Kyosho’s most respected first-plane choices, with forgiving flight characteristics for new pilots.
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. A flight buddy/instructor cable is recommended for the first solo flights.
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.
