Pilot-RC Sbach 342 V2 75″ – The Next Generation of Precision Aerobatics

The Pilot-RC Sbach 342 V2 75″ marks the return of one of Pilot-RC's most iconic aerobatic aircraft. Building upon the legendary success of the original 73″ Sbach 342, the new V2 combines the smooth and predictable flight characteristics that made its predecessor so popular with the latest advancements in modern XA and 3D aerobatic performance.

The original Sbach 342 earned an outstanding reputation among pilots worldwide thanks to its exceptional handling, modern appearance, and uncompromising Pilot-RC build quality. Today, it remains one of the most memorable models in the Pilot-RC lineup.

Designed by Ryu Sintuphrom together with the Pilot-RC engineering team and factory pilots, the new Sbach 342 V2 has undergone an extensive development and flight testing program to deliver the ultimate performance in the 30–40cc class.

The model is available in two exclusive modern color schemes:

• Scheme 10 – Designed by Ryu Sintuphrom
• Scheme 11 – Designed by Joe Hampson

Outstanding Flight Performance

The Sbach 342 V2 has been engineered to provide the perfect balance between smooth precision flight and aggressive XA capability.

Its lightweight hybrid airframe, optimized aerodynamics, and rigid structure deliver exceptional tracking, precise control response, and excellent low-speed handling. Whether flying classic precision aerobatics, high-energy XA maneuvers, or demanding 3D routines, the Sbach V2 inspires confidence throughout the entire flight envelope.

The result is an aircraft that feels equally comfortable in graceful precision sequences as it does during aggressive freestyle flying.
