The Patriot is a Leading Edge Gliders exclusive. It is incredibly
stable and will almost fly itself yet it is instantly responsive
to your every command. The revolutionary airfoil give you an unequaled
mix of high speed when you want it and low stall speed when you
need it. The airframe is without a doubt the strongest on the
market and will stand up well to the demands of combat flying.
The kit has been redesigned and now uses the same buiding techniques
as the rest of the Leading Edge planes.
