Kyosho 11251P Calmato Alpha 40 Toughlon Trainer Purple EP/GP ARF  [KY-11251P]

Calmato Alpha 40 Overview for Training Flights

For pilots new to RC and those wanting a dependable trainer, the Kyosho 11251P Calmato Alpha 40 Trainer is a strong pick. It accepts either electric or petrol setups and the Toughlon covering adds long lasting protection against scuffs and light damage.

Airframe and handling notes

The Calmato Alpha 40 features a 1600mm wingspan that delivers steady, predictable flight and smooth control inputs. Its semi-symmetrical airfoil helps keep stalls forgiving, and the modest 2.5 degree dihedral promotes natural self-levelling, which is useful during training flights.

Power choices and battery guidance

You can fit a 600-1000W brushless motor for electric operation or a 2-cycle 40-46 class engine for petrol power. Electric builders will want a 14.8V Li-Po pack to match the motor range, while pilots preferring the feel of a glow engine can install the recommended 2-cycle size.

Practical advantages for club and backyard flying

The airframe arrives with a pre-assembled fuselage and includes essential fittings like linkage hardware, engine mounts and decals, which keeps set up time to a minimum. That combination of durability and simplicity makes the Calmato Alpha 40 a reliable trainer whether you are mastering basic maneuvers or refining circuits.

If you want a trainer that handles predictably and stands up to regular use, the Kyosho Calmato Alpha 40 is a solid addition to your fleet thanks to its dual power compatibility and robust Toughlon finish.
