Beloved worldwide, this versatile American four-engine turboprop aircraft has been used in many
guises over its long period in service. Originally it was designed as a troop, and cargo transport
aircraft, but very quickly found uses in a variety of other roles.
The Avios C-130 V2 is available in two brand new color schemes, the classic US Coast Guard
scheme of hi-viz orange and white with scale decals, or a typical civilian cargo plane scheme in red,
white, and blue. Both stand out really well in all skies, and both schemes are lighter in weight than
previous versions. Features include pre-installed motors, ESCs, servos, retract landing gear with door
sequencer, working cargo door, cabin light, nav lights, etc. The V2 also includes an improved rudder
pushrod system with a rear-mounted servo which is lighter, and more direct.
AVIOS presents the only true scale representation of the mighty C-130 turboprop aircraft,
and in its V2 form, they are even better to fly.
