After the success of the Predator Jet, Pilot-RC sets a new benchmark in the sport and 3D jet segment with the Matrix.

The Matrix was designed from the ground up as a high-performance sport jet with full 3D capability. Based on extensive aerodynamic testing and the experience gained from the Predator, an aircraft was created that combines maximum precision, agility, and stability. Through close collaboration with one of the world’s leading jet pilots, the flight characteristics were refined and optimized in every detail.

The Result

• Direct control feel with precise feedback in all flight attitudes

• Outstanding roll rates and neutral knife-edge characteristics

• Optimized airflow for clean and precise aerobatic maneuvers

• Maximum 3D performance, including extreme slow-flight and post-stall maneuvers

• A balanced airframe that excels in both precision F3S aerobatics and aggressive 3D flying

Designed by Mirco Pecorari (Aircraft Studio Design), the Matrix combines technical efficiency with a dynamic design language inspired by modern supercars. Every contour is aerodynamically optimized for minimal drag, maximum control, and a distinctive appearance.

The Pilot-RC Matrix is more than just a sport jet – it is a tool for pilots who demand the highest level of precision and dynamic performance.
