The Smile is a remake of the legendary Multiplex Smiley, which has not been available for many years. The original was a popular beginner aircraft that was only equipped with elevator and rudder.

I tried to recreate the character of the original faithfully – but with sensible improvements:
The new Smile also has Ailerons and a spring Landinggear, which significantly increases handling and versatility.

Thanks to modern, inexpensive brushless motors, the model is excellently motorized and thus offers a lot of flying fun even for advanced pilots. The wings are reinforced with carbon tubes up to the engines, and an 8 mm carbon boom stabilizes the tail unit. All parts are equipped with connectors, which significantly simplifies construction.

The Smile is easy to fly, robustly built and ideal for beginners - but also a nostalgic delight for experienced model pilots who still know the original.
