RC models are available in a variety of Product Formats to suit your needs.

The Product Format and its three letter acronym are a basic designation which tells you two primary things:

1) what amount of assembly is required 

2) what is included with the model. The following table provides a brief summary of each Product Format. More detailed descriptions are listed below the table.

PNP models include the ESC, motor, and servos all pre-installed from the factory. Many pilots prefer PNP models because it allows them the flexibility to use any brand of receiver in their aircraft.
