Getting Started with the CALMATO Alpha 60

The Kyosho 11275R CALMATO Alpha 60 is designed to be adaptable for a range of pilot skills, from new flyers learning trim to experienced hobbyists refining aerobatic lines. Its dual-power capability lets you choose an electric motor or a glow engine to match how you like to fly.

Construction Highlights

The wing uses a semi-symmetrical section to combine stability with maneuverability. The partially prebuilt and film-covered fuselage reduces build time while improving durability. This model supports EP and GP installations; for electric power select an 800-1200W outrunner, and for glow select a reliable 2-cycle 60-65 class engine.

Flight Characteristics

At 1,800mm wingspan and 60.6dm² wing area, the aircraft offers solid lift and predictable handling. Wing loading of about 66g/dm² provides a forgiving platform that still responds well to control inputs. Expected weights are near 4,000g for electric setups and 4,050g for glow versions.

Practical Setup Advice

Experiment with prop sizes from D12xP6 to D14xP7 to tune climb and cruise. Fit good quality servos and a dependable radio system with at least four channels. For electric flying use an 18.5V-5,000mAh Li-Po for reliable endurance.

In short, the Kyosho CALMATO Alpha 60 makes a reliable learning platform with the flexibility to step up into sport flying, offering easy maintenance and solid in-air manners.
