The Atlas 60 is a true icon of RC pattern flying—designed by Wolfgang Matt and flown to victory at the 1975 World Championships in Bern. With its clean lines, precise handling, and championship pedigree, the Atlas has earned its place alongside classics like the Taurus, Citron, and Kwik-Fli.

Admired by competitors and revered by builders, the Atlas delivers smooth, balanced performance and excels in precision maneuvers. It’s a model that grows on you, and one that continues to impress decades after its debut.
