Enter the SAB AVIO M138 Lizard; a menacing creature of flight, featuring a radical design for the ultimate in unrivaled jet driven performance. Drawing inspiration from the Tortuga, Havok and Drake, the M138 Lizard is a purpose built beast, incorporating an aerodynamic design for epic low speed capability coalesced with the ultimate in high speed thrills.
Torn from the saga of "Antartica," the M138 Lizard is envisioned as a multirole fighter - craving the opportunity to devastate the adversary in epic all out war. Featuring a weathered pre-painted, high visibility livery, the detail and design of the M138 is stunning in form, with incredible functionality that is highly visible all throughout this impressive machine.
Compact in form, the M138 Lizard was designed as the perfect fit between its larger Havok & Drake counterparts, offering epic levels of high performance capability. A first for this size of machine, the M138 Lizard is EDF ready, with the ability to harness 100mm - 120mm EDF fans for the ultimate in electric powered thrust. For those that thirst for pure turbine madness, the Lizard awaits your turbine of choice, with the optional turbine conversion kit capable of housing 4.5Kg - 12Kg turbines for the ultimate in sky scorching speed.
Engineered for maximum control, the M138 Lizard features an array of high authority control surfaces, allowing the Lizard to excel in every regime of flight. Utilizing canards for pitch control, ailerons for roll, and optional dual rudder capability for optimized low speed flight, the Lizard was designed to perform. And for those that choose the ultimate in turbine power, the optional turbine vector kit adds massive 3D control, with 3D thrust vectoring capability for all out aerobatic insanity.

This is my favorite turbine aircraft. It can do amazing flat spins, flips and hovers. Make sure you're using at least a 120 newton turbine for 3D. I've seen others fly it with an 80 newton turbine for normal flight, but what fun is that?
Fit and finish is great. This is one solid jet and flies like it can do anything.
Finally decided to pull the trigger on this one. Opened the kit and everything was flawless and fit together like a quality kit. This might become a discontinued model, so get it while it's still available.
Excellent Jet, top tier quality..!! Add helidirects #1 service...cant gi wrong
Helidirect service is topclass all the way
There si not much info about the kit, mine came with few securing pins missed, very incomplete kit, if i had known i have to buy so many spare parts that are not in stock from the beginning…… now i have an unuseful kit as there si no stock of spareparts anywhere!
Service from helidirect was great. Even though i asked and pay for DHL and they sent me vía UPS.
Everything about this jet in terms of quality is far and away better than anything I’ve experienced in the RC jet world. I can’t imagine anything better.
very nice jet flies really good
Very good
Okay, as a 65-year old, I have to admit to being a bit put-off by the "Star Wars" marketing. Why didn’t they just say: "Here’s a jet everyone can lift and fit in your car, that can be flown slow or fast, with INCREDIBLE quality! And it’s a great value. Very innovative engineering - fly it with or without VT and it’ll be fun. Superb wing attachment is unprecedented. A buddy and I put little X-45’s in it - mine did 155mph. Of course, my X-90 is coming, but what fun it is even with a little 45. Quality retracts. I could go on. Only three flights so far, but I love it. You might too.
