Introducing the New Pilot RC Sbach 342 V2 90”

The New Standard in Large-Scale 60–70cc Aerobatic Performance

The original Pilot-RC Sbach 342 87”, introduced in the early 2010s, was far more than just an RC aircraft. It became a true icon in the aerobatic world, combining a striking modern design, outstanding all-round flight performance, and the legendary quality of Pilot-RC.

Flown by some of the world’s top aerobatic pilots, the Sbach 342 87” left a lasting impression on the hobby and remains a highly respected model among pilots worldwide.

Now, the legend returns in a new generation.

Introducing the NEW Pilot RC Sbach 342 V2 90”

The next evolution of the Sbach 342 has arrived. The Pilot RC Sbach 342 V2 90” perfectly combines the legendary smoothness and stability of the original 87” design with the precision, power, and agility required for modern Xtreme Aerobatics (XA) flying.

Developed for today’s demanding pilots, this V2 version has been completely refined with modern construction techniques, improved assembly solutions, and enhanced flight characteristics.

The Sbach 342 V2 90” features exclusive modern colour schemes:

• Design #10 by Ryu Sintuphrom
• Design #11 by Joe Hampson

Each scheme gives this iconic airframe a fresh, aggressive, and contemporary appearance.

At Aerobertics, we are proud to bring this new generation Pilot-RC masterpiece to European pilots. Combining Pilot-RC’s legendary craftsmanship with the experience of world-class aerobatic pilots, the Sbach 342 V2 90” delivers the perfect balance between precision, reliability, and pure flying excitement.
