Large Scale MX2 Green RC Plane PNP Version

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:02:17 +0000

]]>

The MX2 is a carbon fibre, two seat tandem sport aircraft produced by MX Aircraft of North Carolina. MX2s are renowned for their reliability and performance. 1 step up is the MXS-R, the MX2's older brother, the MXS-R is a single seat aerobatic aircraft, known for its great performance in the Red Bull Air Race.

The MX2 can pull a G-load of plus and minus 12 Gs, giving it tight turns and loops and a range of aerobatic maneuvers. It has a top speed of 220 knots (410 km/h), a stall speed of 58 knots (107 km/h), and can roll at more than 420 degrees per second. Its vertical penetration is up to 3,600 feet (1,100 m).

The MX2 Green we have here is a replica of one first used in the first air race season in 2006 in Abu Dhabi - see picture above. Starmax have pulled out all the stops with this one and it looks magnificent. With its sporting acrobatic pedigree this is a radio controlled aeroplane that will give the experienced pilot hours of grin factor entertainment. This is a large scale rc aeroplane offering both great looks and additional stability in the air, even when it is windy.

The MX2 is a large scale beast with a 1.4m wingspan - that's over 4 and a half feet wide. Yes, that big! You won't be able to find a bigger, faster and more stunning MX2 anywhere at this price!

Propelled by a powerful brushless motor this plane will rocket and weave through the skies, rolling, looping, twisting an turning as fast and as steeply as your skills and nerve will allow!

It's 95% built from the box, and most of the electronics are not only supplied but fitted too. All you need to complete the model is a transmitter, receiver, Li-po battery and charger - all these are options on this page.

J3 Green Large Scale RC plane PNP Version

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:46:11 +0000

]]>

The Piper J-3 Cub is a small, simple, light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. With tandem (fore and aft) seating, it was intended for flight training but became one of the most popular and best-known light aircraft of all time. The Cub's simplicity, affordability and popularity invokes comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.

It was used successfully in a number of military variants and this is the model we have here for you.

This is a large scale model and this beautifully finished aeroplane has a 1.4 metre wingspan, that's over four and a half feet! This enormous size makes it very stable even in windy conditions, and makes it easier to control. Not only that, but with a wingspan this big, it is one of the most impressive planes on the market at this amazing price.

With a powerful brushless motor pre-installed, once you hook it up with the battery of your choice, this is going to be one fast aeroplane!

It is almost completely built straight out of the box, only a few minutes of minor final assembly steps will be required, plus the extra components which aren't included such as the receiver, transmitter, battery and charger to get this classic aeroplane airbourne.

This model is well made, although lightweight, and it is built to be crash resistant, and to give a long life of fun flying. The P-51D is exceedingly stable, and will fly at low speeds, which makes it safe and fun, even for the beginner. It is also possible to fly these planes at low altitude, great for when you're learning so those crashes aren't too severe!

What does PNP mean? PNP stands for plug and play, and describes a model that is somewhere between Almost Ready to Fly (ARF) and Ready to Fly (RTF). A PNP model has the motor, ESC, servos and some radio gear installed but is missing the receiver, transmitter, batteries and charger.

Like all our Starmax PNP models, the Piper J-3 is built to a very high standard and designed to reflect the looks of the real model faithfully. It is equipped with a very powerful brushless motor, an ESC and most of the necessary electronics installed. All you need to get this bird airborne is a transmitter, receiver, a Li-po battery and charger, all of which are available as options above.

Cessna 182 Red RC plane PNP VERSION

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:37:36 +0000

]]>

The Cessna 182 Skylane is an American four-seat, single-engine, light airplane, built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. It has the option of adding two child seats, installed in the baggage area. The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane.

Later models have added more powerful engines and bigger windows. Cessna cites the 1990s resumption in producing general aviation aircraft such as this model due to change in U.S. liability laws. In 2005, Cessna began offering the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit as an optional upgrade to the Skylane. Subsequently the glass cockpit became standard equipment.

This is a large scale model and the attention to detail is amazing. All the decals are already in place and it really does look the part. Striking colours, and its large size - it has a 1410mm wingspan, yes that's over 1.4 metres! This massive scale make the Cessna 182 a stunning model aeroplane, that anyone would be proud to own, not only that but much more stable than smaller models and easier to control, even in windy conditions.

You simply cannot get a better model Cessna of this scale and quality at this low price!

Included is an electronic speed controller, electric brushless motor and 4 electric servos all pre-installed. A 4ch transmitter which is required to complete the model gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder, and throttle. The brushless motors gives enormous powerallowing full aerobatic characteristics and inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight and spins are all possible.

The attention to detail from Starmax who are the leading rc jet manufacturers gives the plane a nice realistic appearance. The plane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched. The Cessna is made from shock resistant EPS foam with reinforced fuselage and strong wings. Should you need any spare parts though they are all available from our site. This plane is a lot of fun and you will certainly enjoy flying this fantastic model.

Wasp V3 6ch CCPM RTF 2.4GHz RC Helicopter

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:07:13 +0000

]]>

The Wasp V3 radio controlled helicopter is the latest 6 channel aerobatic helicopter with collective pitch and belt driven tail rotor. Not to be confused with the normal radio controlled helicopters that are on the market, this is an advanced model with wooden blades and more stable flight giving the ability to fly upside down and perform advanced stunts both indoors and outdoors. If you are looking for a helicopter that can do more than the standard movements and want to try something that can fly at high speeds and perform stunts then this is the helicopter to go for.

The WASP V3 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flying as the collective pitch rotor head allows quick response on control inputs and copes easily with windy outdoor conditions. Not only can you learn how to fly a 6 channel helicopter with this model but you can then take the hobby so much further with the advanced performance abilities.

The Wasp V3 replaces the old Honey Bee CP3 and has been upgraded and improved in many ways. As well as looking better the helicopter has been constructed from lightweight but strong carbon and aluminium, giving you a much more resilient helicopter, but without adding to it's weight. It also has stronger parts used throughout including much thicker landing skids to protect it from heavy landings. The electronics have been upgraded with digital servos and new brushless motor that along with the belt drive system and aluminium parts make it much better value for money than the old Honey Bee CP3 that uses a brushed motor setup.

The transmitter and receiver have been upgraded to the new 2.4Ghz technology. 2.4Ghz is more reliable and allows many models to be used at the same time without having to change crystals like with the older MHz versions.

This model is designed with German know-how. It can be flown easily near the ground, and is highly damage-resistant. It has been designed to allow people to learn to fly before moving to the next more expensive models. The WASP V3's light and handy design is ideal for beginners due to its small body and good stability. Expert pilots will also enjoy this model however, because of its 3D acrobatic capabilities.

Features:
CCPM system allows more aerobatic actions and tricks.
Belt driven tail rotor.
Symmetrical stronger wooden airfoil has better aerobatic characteristics.
Powerful brushless motor allows indoor and outdoor use.
370 super motor provides super power for high performance flight.

NINJA 400 6ch RTF 2.4GHz Remote Controlled Helicopter

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:07:05 +0000

]]>

The Ninja 400 is brand new to the market and is a top of the range remote controlled helicopter from Skyartec. It is a big 400 size helicopter aimed at intermediate to advanced pilots. This high spec model is one of the most advanced we sell not to mention one of the best quality electric helicopters on the market. The Ninja 400 version is the replacement to the King 3 from Esky. It is the step up from Wasp V3 and is feature packed for extreme stunts and tricks. If you have had a 4ch or 6ch radio controlled helicopter before and want to take the hobby to the next level then this model can go all the way.

The main differences between a standard 6ch helicopter and this are:

Belt driven tail - Unlike other models which have a separate motor on the tail this has a new belt driven tail system for precise aerobatic actions and more reliable performance. The tail system has a slipper clutch to help avoid damage if you crash it.
Sturdier construction - The Ninja features a metal tail boom, strong fins and bulkier parts all round.
Aluminium and carbon construction for strength and lightweight.
Brushless motor - This powerful large current motor gives enough torque to pull off the most demanding stunts.
Separate gyro etc - Most helicopters have an all in one mixer, receiver, speed controller and gyro. This is great for a simple radio controlled helicopter but for a stunt helicopter like this an all in one unit would not be enough. The Ninja therefore comes with separate high quality receiver/mixer, speed controller and Gyro making it highly adjustable and reliable.
Upgradeable - The Ninja features upgradeable parts which are available from our upgrade section, the model can be kitted out with metal parts, and other enhancements.
New 7 channel Transmitter.

What's the Ninja got to offer?

This all new Ninja 400 version has some major improvements and advantages over some other models in its class:

New brushless motor and ESC for more power
Skyartec's all new head lock gyro for sport flying and 3D acrobatics
Digital servos
Upgraded battery from 1000mah to 1500mah

1:5 - ShengQi Petrol RC Monster Truck Hummer

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:00:27 +0000

]]>

The all new ShengQi petrol RC car is a beast with a massive feature list. This is an extreme model with loads of power thanks to its DZY 23cc engine with Japanese Waibro Carburetor and NGK spark plug that pushes it to speeds of up to 80 km/h! Look at similar 1/5th scale models with the same or less specs on the market, as you will see they retail for over twice what we are selling these for!

The first thing that you will notice when you open the box is the massive size and the excellent shells. They come fully built with a choice of camouflaged Hummer shell or black Ford F-150 monster truck shell that both look really cool. Everything you need is included and as these are actual petrol powered models you can get the fuel from a petrol station rather than having to visit a model shop to get special fuel like you have to with the nitro models.

Unlike a nitro radio controlled car, the petrol RC car runs on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheaper to run than a nitro model. Mixing the petrol is very easy. You simply fill up a petrol can with 5 litres of unleaded at the petrol station then pour in 125ml of 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.

If you look at other 1:5 scale petrol RC cars on the market you will see even though they are more expensive they usually don't include everything you need and you have to go out and buy your own radio equipment, special 1:5 scale steering servo, electronics battery pack and charger. With this package everything you need is included, even a high capacity rechargeable battery pack with UK charger for the receiver and servos and a tool kit with all the tools needed to maintain the buggy. Both the servo and radio equipment are OEM Futaba which means they are made in the Futaba factory to ensure they are good quality and reliable.

If you are looking for a quality petrol RC car you will not find a better package for anywhere near this price. Hard aluminium chassis, centrifugal clutch, helical toothed differential, central gearbox, big fuel tank, over length oil filled shocks, the ShengQi monster truck ticks all the boxes!

CopterX 450 Pro Torque Tube RTF 2.4G Rc Helicopter

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:36:23 +0100

]]>

Designed for the pilot in search of the best performance 450 helicopter on the market. The CopterX CX450 pro helicopter was specifically conceived for high performance flight but with easy maintenance in mind. Constructed from the finest quality components, this helicopter is a leader in its class. This is a shaft driven heli, the alternative drive system for rc helicopters, and offers certain performance advantages over the belt driven copters.

No need to ever spend money upgrading the 450 Pro as all upgrades come as standard with full CNC aluminum or carbon throughout. All parts are ball raced & aluminum parts were finished with a beautiful anodized grey. The carbon blades are top of the line products & can really perform during heavy load conditions. A lot of parts on the rotor head are over sized or hardened. 4mm feathering shaft, hardened aluminum alloy washout, oversize main shaft lock collar, one piece swashplate, etc. All these allow high loading for extreme 3D maneuvers.

The tail drive system also features a light weight but rigid CNC & carbon construction including carbon tail blades. A one piece carbon frame reduces the number of aluminum parts necessary for the frame resulting in a light weight and rigid construction. All mounts are aluminum including a special composite canopy mount to reduce vibration.

NB. These are the pictures of the kit version, hence it appears no electronics are included; however we are selling the RTF version which includes all electronics and new pictures will be coming soon.

Package Contents: This is the RTF version and contains everything you need, apart from 8 x AA Batteries for the transmitter.

Walkera Lama 400 Coaxial RC 4ch 2.4GHz helipcopter

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:18:51 +0100

]]>

We are extremely pleased to be able to bring Walkera's Lama 400 to you. This is a big, highly specified and very detailed coaxial chopper. Its fuselage is a massive 650mm in length for a start, that's over 2 feet long!

If you couple this with the attention to detail, the level of finish, and care that has been lavished on this model, you have something that is really striking and a talking point. Just look at the pictures - we think they speak for themselves!

So, how about flying this beast? Well, thanks to it's coaxial configuration, even a complete novice will be able to get this bird off the ground and become a confident operator in an afternoon. So lets summarise, in once sentence: here we have an amazing looking, radio controlled helicopter that you'll be able to fly straight away and master in a couple of days. What more could you want?

Well, apart from all the above, this helicopter is supplied with the latest 2.4Ghz transmitter, complete with LCD screen!

The transmitter and receiver have been upgraded to 2.4Ghz technology, which is more reliable and allows many models to be used at the same time without having to change crystalsas in MHz tx systems.

This is the jewel in the crown of this helicopter, in terms of useability, looks and sheer value for money, this will be a hard model to beat!

To add to the realism, though this is a coaxial twin blade helicopter, the tail rotor still spins. So what is a coaxial system? It's a superstable counter rotating system which allows a beginner to experience the satisfaction of flying an rc helicopter without the training, practice and skill required to fly a conventional chopper. Basically the coaxial counter-rotating blades cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a conventional so tricky. With this system you will quickly be able to have the model hovering precisely and maybe using only one finger on the control. Its steering function or rudder is controlled using variation in speed of each level of the rotor blades.

Features

Precise and fine simulation ;this is a very detailed model.

Coaxial configuration allows steady fight and is suitable for beginners.

New flashing LED head and tail lights

Weight Saving Spread Spectrum 4-in-1 Mixer/Gyro/Receiver Board

Walkera HM Comanche Co-axial 4ch RC helicopter

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:13:16 +0100

]]>

This is the latest 2.4Ghz Walkera RAH-66 Comanche 5#4Q4, radio controlled helicopter!

As you can see, it looks stunning, and is finished to a great level of detail and quality of finish. It comes in a Ready-To-Fly package with all things you need to get started, other than 8 AA batteries for the transmitter. It is very stable and easy to fly, even a complete novice will have this chopper flying around quite happily with in an hour or so. This is the top model with the upgraded metal rotor head and 2.4GHz LCD transmitter, making it an excellent package and great value for money.

Its overall length is about 336mm. With compact 90 degree swashhplate structure, the servo and other parts are easy to install. The tiny 4-in-1 controller has an integrated Receiver, ESC, Gyro and Mixer with high sensitivity and strong resistance to interference.

The transmitter and receiver have been upgraded to 2.4Ghz technology, which is more reliable and allows many models to be used at the same time without having to change crystalsas in MHz tx systems.

With the Li-po batteries you should get approximately 15 or more minutes flight time on each charge, which is plenty of time to hone your skills, but why not order a spare or two and extend the amount of time you can have piloting your heli. The Co-Comanche is a great choice for a beginner, and someone who is thinking of moving on to larger tail-rotor helicopters, as training with these gives you a good grounding in the hand to eye coordination and spacial awareness required to fly all helicopters, but without the complex controls of the single rotor and 6 channel choppers.

1:10 - Trooper Brushless Radio Controlled Truggy

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:05:56 +0100

]]>

Here we introduce the 1:10 scale brushless truck - the Trooper; this has a big brushless motor and 11.1V Li-Polymer battery so it will go unbelievably quickly. The 4WD system with front and rear differentials evenly distributes the massive power to the big wheels making this truck a real tour de force.

Although this model is described as 1:10 scale it is as long as some of our 1:8 scale models like the Werewolf so you really are getting a lot of model for your money. The Trooper is a high performance, high speed machine. It is fitted with highly efficient heatsink metal motor mounts, as standard to prevent the motor getting too hot when being pushed hard.

Brushless motor systems are a new technology that until recently have only been available as upgrades for normal rc cars.

This is because to have a brushless setup not only requires the brushless motor but also a brushless ESC, li-polymer battery and special li-polymer charger which are all very expensive and would cost hundreds of pounds.

Then came some brushless 1:16 scale brushless models that due to there smaller size only needed a smaller brushless motor etc so could be priced at a realistic level.

So to take full advantage of that the standard 7.2v Ni-Cd batteries that are found in most rc car kits has been replaced with a very powerful 11.1v lithium battery along with a balanced lithium battery charger which is needed for these special batteries.

The brushless RC Truck comes fully built with everything you need to get going apart from eight normal AA batteries for the radio handset. This is a high spec racing model that at full speed requires some real skill to control it. It is therefore recommended for ages 14+.

Features

1/10 scale brushless short-course truck;

Fully assembled, ready to run, 4WD shaft drive system;

]]>

The ACME Mighty is a fully built, fully featured, top of the range 1/8 scale off-road truggy, and comes with many feature enhancements to make this great looking car not only look the part but 'be' the part! This is the Pro version and it is fitted with high quality components, is 4WD and equipped with a powerful .25 nitro engine!

The Mighty is built using advanced components and innovative engineering to get the best performance out of your package. It has a newly developed C-hub steering system, where the king pin axis extends to the wheel centre (see picture above) this feature improves steering performance. It has a specially designed suspension system, with twin adjustable rear suspension modes which allows for a flexible driving mode and a smooth driving mode.

Part of its performance is due to the lightweight ultra-compact gear box; this has a low centre of gravity, assisting with grip and control. The gearbox is also built to be highly durable, so that it can cope better with the hard knocks associated with buggy use. It has been engineered with a gear ratio that offers both superb acceleration and a high top speed. Not only this but the gearbox consists of all steel gear and is of a pinion design which makes it easier to maintain and repair.

The Mighty is built around a narrow, but solid aluminum chassis; this centralised chassis design allows quicker steering and faster response. The blows are cushioned by the 16mm super big bore oil shocks, pictured left. The Mighty also has fully adjustable sway bar ball cups, and a high-downforce wing for better traction and stability.

Additionally the front bumper is built so that it moves backwards on impact, this can prevent the chassis from becoming distorted or even broken when landing after jumps. All the linkages can be set with adjustable turnbuckle.

1:10 - HSP Gladiator Nitro Off Road Truggy

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 09:29:16 +0100

]]>

This is the stunning looking and even better performing HSP nitro radio controlled truggy. The fusion of buggy and truck in to one awesome set of wheels. This truggy is extra tough and a great off road performer, it can still stand its ground on the road too! The Gladiator is feature packed making it one of the top spec truggies on the market and the .18 engine, and two-speed automatic gearbox makes it extremely quick. The Gladiator comes fully built with everything included apart from fuel, glow start (both optional below) and 12 normal AA batteries.

It has some special features that add to the quality of this model. For example the front and rear diffs are not only assembled from high quality bevel gears, but they have been designed for easy user maintenance. Likewise the disc brake system allows users to quickly change the brake pads and so ensuring you'll always have optimum braking power. If you don't quite stop in time, there's bumpers front and back that'll take some of the sting out of the impact.

This version of this nitro radio controlled truggy has been upgraded with high quality Team Infinity engines. Team Infinity engines are made in Japan and feature a simplified carb that makes them the easiest to start and one of the most reliable engines on the market. Usually these models come with engines made in Taiwan or China that you will see being offered by other model shops selling these but from our experience we have found the extra few pounds for a Japanese engine is well worth it for the difference in quality and performance.

We have specified this upgraded Gladiator so that it is kitted out with traditional stick type controllers whereas normally they come with the wheel type controllers. This is a personal choice of what you are more comfortable with.

A-10 Thunderbolt II 4-CH RC Brushless Scale Model Jet Aeroplane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:21:39 +0000

]]>

The A-10 Thunderbolt II (also known as the Warthog) is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft designed to provide close air support of ground forces. It was the first USAF aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

The A-10 has superb manoeuverability even at low speeds and altitude, this is due to its large wing area, high wing aspect ratio, and large ailerons. This design also enables short takeoffs and landings, allowing it top operate from the smallest and most basic airfields.

This model replica of the A-10 Thunderbolt II is 90% assembled, so you can get it in the air within minutes of opening the box. When it is airbourne it has full four channel radio control, allowing adjustment of the aileron, elevator, throttle, and when the plane is on the ground, it is complete with front wheel steering!

Powered by twin gutsy 2410-size brushless motors(1200KV) this plane is capable of high speed, 3D aerobatic stunts and also is able to fly in blustery conditions. The A-10 is a confident acrobat and capable of a full range of impressive tricks and manoeuvres in experienced hands. It can perform: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins.

Despite its aerobatic pedigree, the same design that gives it the ability to carryout breathtaking 3D moves, means it is a stable plane and so also suitable for the beginner and mid-level pilot too.

The Thunderbolt has a powerful brushless motor, and a 2.4Ghz radio transmitter, making it a perfect choice for the enthuiast. We have also upgraded the charger from a standard one, to a balanced charger included in the price. This makes charging safer and better for the battery.

]]>

The Catalina was an American flying boat of the 1930s and 1940s, produced by Consolidated Aircraft. It was such a versatile aeroplane that it performed numerous functions during WWII, and was used by the Air Forces, Armies and Navies of many countries.

Catalinas were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escorts, search and rescue missions and cargo transport. It was the most successful aircraft of its kind and produced in greater numbers than any other flying boat. Some remained in military service until the 1980s and even today the Catalina continues to be used as an airtanker in some parts of the world.

The Catalina has full four channel radio control allowing adjustment of the aileron, elevator, rudder, and throttle; it can even be steered when floating on the water. Yes, water! This model sea plane has been designed so that it can actually take off and land on water, the twin brushless motors it is powered with can send it soaring effortlessly from your local lake or pond, into the sky. It really does look spectacular, see the video below!

The design of this aeroplane does not make it as agile as some other models, but it can pull a loop from a shallow dive and looks fantastic doing a low flypast either over land or water. In any case the power of the twin brushless motors enables it to be flown in many conditions, even when it is windy.

The Catalina is nearly ready to fly straight from the box, all the necessary glue and tools are included in the in the carton and you will have it flying in no more than a few minutes. All you'll need are 8 AA batteries for the transmitter.

Messerschmitt T-109 4 CH Radio Control RC Scale Brushed Fighter

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:10:37 +0000

]]>

The T-109, otherwise known as the Messerschmitt Bf 109Z, is a heavy fighter which was designed by joining two Bf 109 (Me-109) fighters together. The T-109 was the result, on paper at least it was a single seater with the pilot sitting in the left fuselage. The T-109 would have been heavily armed with five 30 mm cannons.

Four versions of this plane were planned, but only one prototype was ever built in 1942-43. Eventually the project was cancelled due to the arrival of the Messerschmitt Me 262, which was expected to perfom better. So here is your chance to fly the fighter plane that never was!

Like many of our planes this model is virtually ready to fly straight from the box, all you'll need is 8 AA batteries to power the transmitter. We have specified this plane with the 35Hz controller and brushed motor options, making it an affordable entry level outfit, ideal for someone wanting to buy their first plane.

This model is lightweight, extremely tough, with a reinforced fuselage and wings, so it's as crash resistant as possible. The fuselage has been factory finished, and the details of original design have been carefully reproduced.. This plane features excellent stability and amazing aerobatic capabilities. Once you've become experienced, you will have it performing inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and even spins!.

Messerschmitt ME-109 (Bf-109) 4 CH RC Scale 2.4G Brushless Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:00:34 +0000

]]>

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 (often nicknamed the Me-109) was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the early 1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear.

The first 109s saw service in the Spanish Civil War, and then became the mainstay fighter plane of the Luftwaffe during World War II. During the Battle of Britain the 109 was used in new roles as an escort fighter, a fighter-bomber and for photo-reconnaissance.

A polished aerobatic performer, the Me 109 was credited with more aerial kills than any other aircraft in the second World War.

As you can see from the picture above, this replica has been meticulously created, faithfully reproducing the famous warbird, in a manner that does its aeronautical reputation justice. You'll be able to do it justice too, within minutes of opening the box as it is 90% assembled for you at the factory.

This model has a really tough, but lightweight airframe, and the outer shell has been superbly finished, carefully emulating the details of the real thing. This fighter model is incredibly stable and will fly at low speed, and at low altitude making it simple, safe and fun, even for the beginner.

The Messerschmit's design makes it a brilliant 3D aerobatic performer for the experienced pilot: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are possible; it can roll very quickly and is super stable even when flying upside down. The wing and body used in this plane are specially designed to allow high G manoeuvres, however the wing loading is still very low.

The Me-109 has a powerful brushless motor, and a 2.4Ghz radio transmitter, making it a perfect choice for the enthuiast. We have also upgraded the charger from a standard one, to a balanced charger included in the price. This makes charging safer and better for the battery.

The P-51 Mustang was a single seater fighter plane, which was designed and built for World War II in just 117 days! The Royal Air Force used it as a fighter bomber, a reconnaissance plane, and as a bomber escort on raids over Germany in 1944. It was powered by a supercharged Rolls Royce Merlin engine and was fitted with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.

Rearward visibility was a problem with WW2 fighter planes and this was solved by using a 'bubble' or 'teardrop' canopy. This new type of canopy was a development in the P-51D version, considered the definitive Mustang, and is the model we have for you here.

This model is a faithful replica of the full size P-51D Mustang, the attention to detail in the canopy and the WWII USAF decals is excellent and will not disappoint. It is almost ready to fly straight out of the box, only a few minutes of minor final assembly steps will be required to get this legend of the 20th century airbourne.

The Mustang's structure, and shape makes it a brilliant 3D stunt plane for the experienced pilot: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are possible; it can roll very quickly and is surprisingly stable even when flying upside down.

**Some of the pictures here show a green version of the plane, the one which we ship is finished in black. **

The P-51D Mustang has a powerful brushless motor, and a 2.4Ghz radio transmitter, making it a perfect choice for the enthuiast. We have also upgraded the charger from a standard one, to a balanced charger included in the price. This makes charging safer and better for the battery.

F14 twin 70mm Jolly Roger Top Gun EDF RC Jet PNP Version

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:18:03 +0000

]]>

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep winged aircraft. It was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defence interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006. In 1986, the F-14 was the main aircraft featured in the Tom Cruise film Top Gun, spawning a surge in U.S. Navy recruiting. The F-14 Tomcat was designed as both an air superiority fighter and a long-range naval interceptor, it has a two seat cockpit with a canopy that gives all-round visibility.

The Tomcat's defining feature is its variable geometry wings that swing automatically during flight; for high-speed intercept, they are swept back, and they then swing forward again for lower speed flight. It has a maximum speed of Mach 2.34 (1,544 mph) at high altitude, and has a service ceiling of 50,000 ft.

This incredible jet aircraft is equipped with an internal 20 mm M61 Vulcan Gatling-type gun mounted on the left side, and can carry AIM-54 Phoenix, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles.

Now for the details on the F-14 Jolly Rogers which you can fly! Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the F-14 is finished in the factory to a high standard and represents an excellent replica of the real aircraft. But this one is special, not only does it look like the real McCoy but it shares most of the functionality of the real thing too. The variable geometry or swing-wings on this model jet actually work, as does the landing gear, thanks to its 6 channel electronics. You can control each position of the wings from fully open to fully retracted. How good does this jet look with the wings fully retracted?!

The F-14 Jolly Rogers is an extremely high spec model; it features twin 60mm EDF jets, and twin ESCs, making it very quick.

The Starmax F-14 is a massive model, it has an 1100mm wingspan, so not only does it look fantastic, and will dominate the sky above you, this large size makes it much more stable in flight. If you want the ultimate ducted fan jet, then this is the one for you. It is stunning, manouvreable and exceedingly fast. You will be Top Gun!

This model is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. The twin engined punch that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with this Tomcat.*

This jet is equipped with a powerful brushless motor, for the best performance. The plane is made from strong but lightweight foam that is more resistant to crashes and gives easier stable flight even in windy conditions. This aeroplane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched.

This plane is 90% assembled and so only a few minutes of final build finishes are needed, and a few components before you can fly.

F-15 Desert Vectored Thrust 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 70mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:00:14 +0000

]]>

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It is considered among the most successful modern fighters with over 100 aerial combat victories. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. The F-15 is expected to be in service with the U.S. Air Force until 2025.

Since the 1970s, the Eagle has also been exported to Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. Despite originally being envisaged as a pure air superiority aircraft, the design proved flexible enough that an all-weather strike derivative, the F-15E Strike Eagle, was later developed, and entered service in 1989.

This Starmax replica of the F-15 is a top-level model aeroplane, featuring vectored thrust, retractable landing gear and the craftsmanship and factory finish that people come to expect from our models.The finish and design of this foam structured plane has been undertaken to a very high standard. The fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. It is complete with a detailed paint job, and factory affixed decals to complete the realistic look of your F-15.

Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The technique was originally employed to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability. Soon, it was realized that using vectored thrust in combat situations enabled aircraft to perform manoeuvres not available to conventional-engined planes.

So, what does all this mean? Well, you've got a 70mm ducted fan with powerful 14.8v battery, 5ch electronics, and automatic landing gear. Coupled with the vectored thrust, this gives you one of the fastest and most agile model aeroplanes on the market for this price. You will not be disappointed!

This is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. The punch that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible.

The Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet is a light attack jet and advanced trainer aircraft, jointly manufactured by Germany and France. It is the main rival of the BAe Hawk, although it hasn't been made in as great numbers, it has been supplied to the French Air Force, Luftwaffe, Royal Thai Air Force, and the Portuguese Air Force amongst others.

Being so light and powerful makes the Alpha perfect for aerobatics and is used by the Patrouelle de France flight demonstration team to spectacular effect. The Red Bull company also own an Alpha and use it for their own demonstration purposes, painted in their own livery.

Starmax have worked their usual wonders in the finish and design of this foam structured plane. The fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. It is complete with a detailed paint job and looks ready for air to air combat. What all this adds up to is an exceedlingly rapid and nimble jet. In this model we have a 64mm ducted fan with powerful 14.8v battery, 5ch electronics controlling the aileron, rudder, elevator and the throttle. This gives you one of the fastest and most agile model aeroplanes on the market for this price. This plane will travel at speeds in excess of 100mph. You will not be disappointed! The fifth channel: that's used for dropping a scale bomb!

It's not just the Patrouelle de France who can perform aerobatics in an Alpha; once you've mastered this jet you'll be able to attempt stunts such as: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with your Alpha.

AMX Red Vectored Thrust 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 64mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:37:05 +0000

]]>

The AMX International AMX "Ghibli" is a ground-attack aircraft which has been specifically designed for battlefield interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance missions. The AMX is capable of operating at high subsonic speed and low altitude, by day or night, and if necessary, from bases with poorly equipped or damaged runways.It was built in a joint venture between Brazil and Italy.

Low IR signature and reduced radar equivalent cross-section help prevent detection, while low vulnerability of structure and systems aid survivability. Integrated ECM, air-to-air missiles and nose-mounted guns provide self-defence capabilities. This combination of features enabled the Italian Air Force's AMX squadrons to fly 252 combat sorties over Kosovo as part of Operation Allied Force, without a single loss.

The AMX has something extra for you though: it features vectored thrust.

Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The technique was originally employed to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability.

F-117 Blacknight Stealth 70mm EDF RC Jet PNP Version

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:27:42 +0000

]]>

The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a stealth ground attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force. The F-117A's first flight was in 1981, and it achieved initial operating capability status in October 1983. The F-117 was a 'black' project, an ultra-secret program for much of its life, until the late 1980s.

The F-117 is shaped to deflect radar signals and is about the size of an F-15 Eagle. The single-seat Nighthawk is powered by two non-afterburning General Electric F404 turbofan engines, and has quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire flight controls. It shares many components with the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet and F-15E Strike Eagle.

Among the penalties for stealth are lower engine power thrust, due to losses in the inlet and outlet, a very low wing aspect ratio, and a high sweep angle (50°) needed to deflect incoming radar waves to the sides. With these design considerations and no afterburner, the F-117 is limited to subsonic speeds

Starmax have worked their usual wonders in the finish and design of this foam structured plane. The fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. It is complete with a detailed paint job, and factory affixed decals to complete the realistic look of your F-117 Stealth fighter.

A-4 Blue Angels Skyhawk 4Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 55mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:10:43 +0000

]]>

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a delta winged, carrier-capable, ground-attack aircraft designed for the United States Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Fifty years after the aircraft's first flight, and having played key roles in conflict including the Falkland's War, some of the nearly 3,000 Skyhawks produced remain in service.

The A-4 Skyhawk was used by the Blue Angels between 1974 and 1986. The Blue Angels are the US Navy's Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron; they first performed in 1946 and are currently the world's oldest flying aerobatic team. The striking blue and yellow planes are supremely capable, aerobatic performers.

Starmax have produced an excellent replica of the A-4 in these stunning Blue Angel colours. The EPO foam fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. The authentic decals finish off the look and you are presented with a fantastic looking model.

The A-4 has a powerful brushless motor and a 55mm fan, this is a smaller fan than our other jets, and is an ideal entry level into the world of model jet piloting. Despite its smaller fan, the Skyhawk is no slouch and this model is capable of 90mph!

The delta wing design and lightweight fuselage enable this aeroplane to be supremely manoeuverable and in the right hands will take your breath away with the 3D aerobatics it can pull off. Stunts the A-4 is capable of include: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with your Alpha.

The A-4 is also available in a grey colour scheme, for those who prefer a more military look and feel to their model aircraft, whatever colour you choose, they both have the same awesome power and handling.

F9F Panther 2.4GHz 4 CH RC EDF Fighter Jet 64mm

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:25:54 +0000

]]>

The Grumman F9F Panther was one of the U.S. Navy's first successful carrier-based jet fighters. Introduced in 1958 the Panther was the most widely used US Navy jet fighter of the Korean War, flying 78,000 sorties and scoring the first air-to-air kill by the US Navy in the war, the downing of a North Korean Yakovlev Yak-9 fighter.

Capable of 575mph and with a range of 1,300 miles, this jet had quite a thirst for fuel. As there was insufficient space within the wings and fuselage for the amount of fuel required, permanently-mounted wingtip fuel tanks were added which had the side benefit of improving the fighter's rate of roll! The jet was retired by the US in the late fifties to early sixties, but was still in service with the Argentinian Navy (the only foreign buyer of the Panther) until 1969.

Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the Panther is finished in the factory to a high standard and represents an excellent replica of the real aircraft. Extra features like the realistic landing gear, and the clear cockpit complete with pilot add to the authenticity and realism present in this model.

But! Looks are only half of the story with these models. In the air, it is an incredible acrobat, and capable of over 90mph. It is launchable by hand or will take off from the ground with ease. As you can no doubt imagine, this package of power and size, makes for an extremely agile aeroplane; this fighter has an amazing 3D aerobatic repertoire in experienced hands with a tremendous roll rate and an ability to climb vertically at incredible speed. The videos show you just how capable the F9F is! If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with this jet.

The F-4E Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor fighter/fighter-bomber originally developed for the U.S. Navy. First entering service in 1960, the Phantom continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and even now are in active service with a number of other countries.

Despite the imposing dimensions and a maximum takeoff weight of over 27,000 the F-4E had a top speed of Mach 2.23 and an initial climb of over 41,000 ft/min. Shortly after its introduction, the Phantom set 15 world records, including an absolute speed record of 1,606.342 mph and an absolute altitude record of 98,557 ft.

The F-4 had several variants, but this model the F-4E was the one chosen by The Thunderbirds, who are the air demonstration squadron of the U.S. Air Force.

Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the Phantom has lots of detail, a great factory finished look, with a clear canopy with cockpit, the landing gear are easy to remove and replace, and the whole model has been designed for easy fan access for maintenance.

In the air, it's phenomenal, capable of around 70mph, which for something less than 80cms long is very fast indeed. It is launchable by hand or will take off from the ground with ease. As you can no doubt imagine, this package of power and size, makes for an extremely agile aeroplane; this fighter has an amazing 3D aerobatic repertoire in experienced hands with a tremendous roll rate and an ability to climb vertically at incredible speed.

He 162 Salamander 2.4GHz RC EDF Fighter Jet 64mm

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:12:00 +0000

]]>

Heinkel's He 162 Volksjäger ("People's Fighter") was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft used by the Luftwaffe in WWII. The original 162 was constructed mainly from wood as metals were in short supply and prioritised for other aircraft. Despite this the He 162 was the fastest of the first generation of Axis and Allied jets. Volksjäger was the Reich Air Ministry's official name for the He 162. Other names given to the plane include Salamander, which was the codename of its construction program. It took less than 90 days from the final design being chosen to a finished aircraft actually flying!

The He 162 is a clean, sporty-looking little aircraft, with a sleek, streamlined fuselage. The BMW jet was mounted in a pod situated on top of the fuselage directly aft of the cockpit. Twin vertical tailfins were mounted at the ends of the upswept tailplanes to clear the jet exhaust, a high-mounted straight wing with a forward-swept trailing edge and shallow dihedral, an ejection seat was provided for the pilot (deemed far more valuable than the machine itself), and tricycle landing gear that retracted into the fuselage.

This scale model of the He 162 has been carefully designed using CAD technology and, is a faithful replica of the World War II original. All parts are pre-painted to a high level of detail, the aeroplane looks amazing! As an added bonus it's 95% complete straight out of the box, with only a few stages of assembly to complete before you can take to the air.

This plane is a stable model and has a well chosen, powerful motor for its size; you only need to give it a little touch of throttle and this warbird will be off, skywards. It will take off either from the ground or can be launched from the hand, and when it is launched, the fighter takes to the air with ease, and looks extremely realistic in the air.The He 162 can perform a whole host of aerobatics in skilled hands, but due to its stability it is a suitable choice of aeroplane for someone wishing to learn the thrills of model jets.

]]>

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a, single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole fighter, that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. The F-35 is intended to be the world's premier strike aircraft and to be active until 2040, with close and long-range air-to-air capability.

The F-35 is required to be four times more effective than existing fighters in air-to-air combat, eight times more effective in air-to-ground combat, and three times more effective in reconnaissance and suppression of air defenses all while having better range and requiring less logistics support!The first flight of the F35 was in 2006.

This scale model of the F-35 has been carefully designed using CAD technology and, this is evident in the realistic and high quality finish seen in this plane. All parts are pre-painted to a high level of detail, the jet really does look fantastic, and as an added bonus it's 95% built straight out of the box, with only a few stages of assembly and components needed to complete before you can take to the air.

All the Starmax jets are seriously big, large-scale models and this is no exception, it is 840mm long and has a 640mm wingspan, which not only means it looks great, but adds to its stability.

This plane is incredibly stable and has well proportioned, controllable power; you only need to nudge the throttle gently and the F35 will shoot down your runway and take off. It will take off either from the ground or can be launched from the hand, and when it is launched, the F35 accelerates like a rocket and takes to the air with ease, and looks absolutely awesome when in flight.The Lightning can perform a whole host of aerobatics in skilled hands, but due to its stability it is a suitable choice of aeroplane for someone wishing to learn the thrills of model jets. That said, this plane can do in excess of 90mph!!

The plane is made from strong but lightweight foam that is more resistant to crashes and gives easier stable flight even in windy conditions. This aeroplane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched.

F/A-18E 64mm Jolly Roger RC Jet EDF PNP Version

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:50:49 +0000

]]>

The F/A-18 known as the Hornet is a supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole fighter jet, designed to attack both ground and aerial targets. Introduced in the early 80s and capable of Mach 1.8 (1,190mph) at 40,000 feet, it is still in active service around the world in roles such as fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), air interdiction, close air support and aerial reconnaissance. The F/A-18E has been a popular choice of fighter for aircraft carrier deployment.

Strike Fighter Squadron 103 (VF-103), nicknamed the Jolly Rogers is an aviation unit of the United States Navy established in 1952. They fly the Hornet emblazoned with a sinister skull and cross bones on the tailfins, and it is these planes that have been reproduced in the model you see here.

This scale model of the real thing has been beautifully crafted using CAD technology and, this is evident in the realsitic and high quality finish seen in this plane. All parts are pre-painted to a high level of detail, the jet really does look fantastic, and as an added bonus it's 95% complete straight out of the box, with only a few stages of assembly to complete before you can take to the air.

This plane is incredibly stable and has just the right amount of power; only a couple of flicks of the throttle are needed to get this jet taxiing and ready for take off. The Jolly Rogers model accelerates like a rocket and takes to the air with ease, and once in the air, that's when the fun begins! The F/A 18E can perform pretty much any aerial acrobatic manoeuvre you could possibly ask of it, but due to its stability it is a suitable choice of aeroplane for someone wishing to learn the thrills of model jets.

This jet comes with a 2.4G radio which means the range is longer and more stable plus you do not have to worry about interference from other fliers. The plane is made from strong but lightweight foam that is more resistant to crashes and gives easier stable flight even in windy conditions. This aeroplane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched.

Starmax F-5E Camo 5Ch RTF 70mm EDF Rc Jet With Retracts

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:48:08 +0000

]]>

The real Northrop F-5E Tiger II are part of a family of widely used light supersonic fighter aircraft, designed and built by Northrop in the United States, beginning in 1960s. Hundreds remain in service in air forces around the world. The F-5E "Tiger II" was a greatly improved version of the earlier F-5A "Freedom Fighter". Redesigned as a highly maneuverable, lightweight and inexpensive air superiority fighter, the E featured an air-to-air fire control radar system and a lead computing gun sight. More powerful J85 engines required the fuselage to be both widened and lengthened. The forward wing root was redesigned to give the "Tiger II" wing its characteristic triple delta shape.

This excellent model is based on the US Navy desert camo finish.

This F-5E is one of the highest spec and quickest jets on the market. It is a massive 1.3m in length and is fitted with a 70mm EDF. Extra power and speed is produced by the big 14.8V, 2200mah LiPo battery and 40A brushless setup. As well as extra power and speed this jet also features an automatic landing gear system and turning front wheel. To allow this the set includes a 5ch transmitter and eight servos. It's a highly maneuverable model that can easily perform inverted flight, loops and rolls etc.The model comes pre-painted with everything you need included apart from the normal AA batteries for the transmitter. The model is almost ready to fly out of the box with only very minor assembly required such as attaching the wings. Everything you need to complete is included in the box.

Included is a 5ch 1000m range transmitter, electronic speed controller, ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 8 electric servos all pre-installed. The 5ch transmitter gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle and retracts. The 70mm ducted fan system with the brushless motors and li-po battery gives enormous power pushing the jet to crazy speeds. The high power allows full aerobatic characteristics and inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible.

The attention to detail from Starmax who are the leading rc jet manufacturers gives the jet a nice realistic appearance. The jet can take off from the ground or can be hand launched. If you are not ready to be flying at high speeds then you can also fly the plane very slowly while you get used to it without any problems. The jet is made from shock resistant EPS foam with reinforced fuselage and strong wings. Should you need any spare parts though they are all available from our site. This plane is a lot of fun and you will certainly enjoy flying this fantastic model.

The real Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It is primarily an air superiority fighter, but has multiple capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles. The United States Air Force considers the F-22 a critical component of the U.S. strike force.

The F-22 is claimed by multiple sources to be the worlds most effective air superiority fighter. The US Air Force states that the F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief of the Australian Defense Force, said in 2004 that the "F-22 will be the most outstanding fighter plane ever built."

The F22 EDF Jet is one exceptional rc jet. It is power-driven by a bigger than standard 70mm electric ducted fan along with a powerful 2836 inner runner brushless motor and 45A ESC 5A UBEC. The battery has also been upgraded to a big 14.8V, 2200mah LiPo giving more power and speed. The jet is made with dense and solid foam and comes with a strong set of fixed landing gear. It flies very fast and has tremendous wing area and large control surfaces. The F22 is also very stable for intermediate pilots and very easy to fly for experts. Thrust is superb with better than 1-1 thrust to weight ratio. This jet has a 27 wingspan and is 40 in length. It flies magnificently with true aerodynamic ability and will handle wind much better just like the real F22 Raptor. It's a highly maneuverable model that can easily perform inverted flight, loops and rolls etc. The model comes pre-painted with everything you need included apart from the normal AA batteries for the transmitter. The model is almost ready to fly out of the box with only very minor assembly required such as attaching the wings. Everything you need to complete is included in the box.

Included is a 1000m range transmitter, electronic speed controller, ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 5 electric servos all pre-installed.

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:22:40 +0000

]]>

The unique scheme used on this model is a perfect replica of the special upgraded Brazilian F-5E shown below which was designed to celebrate 30 years of service of the F-5E Tiger in the Brazilian Air Force. (The real F-5E Tiger ll pictured below)

532mm wingspan, 939mm long, 125 sq. in. wing area, 18-1/2 oz. flying weight. Tough EPO foam construction makes a more durable airframe, less prone to dings and dents. The Jet comes with many of the major components pre-installed and ready for final assembly. All you need to do to complete is glue in place the vertical fin, rockets and the EPO nose cone. The 64mm fan is installed with a smooth-running out runner motor and a 30 amp speed control. The 4 servos (2-aileron, 2-elevator) are pre-installed and pre-connected to the flying surfaces. Then you need to add the receiver, battery and transmitter (not included) Flight battery access is located under the canopy, making a quick change easy to do. The jet comes with removable landing gear with a turning nose wheel. It can be flown with or without the gear. If you don't have a smooth runway, hand launching is easy to do and belly landings are a breeze. The high visibility color scheme really helps with maintaining orientation with this fast jet. Small-yes, twitchy-no; the F-5E has great speed and really grooves in the air. The jet is suitable for intermediate to advanced pilots.

The Starmax jets are truly large scale, making them not only look amazing, and dramatic but it adds to the stability of the model in the air. For true EDF jet enjoyment you'll find it hard to beat the Starmax.

Included is an electronic speed controller, ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 4 electric servos all pre-installed. A 4ch transmitter which is required to complete the model gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle.

Esky Co-Comanche 4CH RC Helicopters- 2.4Ghz Version

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:55:50 +0000

]]>

The Co-Comanche is one of the coolest looking RC helicopters on the market. Unlike the usual boring shells that come with most helis, this one comes with a realistic looking camouflaged army style. The model is based on the RAH-66 Co-Comanche which is a new helicopter being used for reconnaissance missions and assaults on land forces.

The helicopter was designed by ESky as a 4CH helicopter with a co-axial, double rotor blade system. This makes it very easy to fly so can been flown by anyone with minimum practice and are therefore a great way to get into the hobby. You can have all the fun and thrills of flying a proper rc helicopter but without the hours of practice. There are many twin blade RC helicopters on the market now but the Comanche is in a league of it's own with much better performance and agility. Not to be confused with the toy twin blade helis, this is a proper model featuring a proper 4 channel controller, long lasting lithium battery and gyro.

The Comanche comes with everything included in the box including the fully built heli, instructions, 4 ch controller, lithium battery, lithium charger, UK 240V ac/dc adaptor, 12V car battery adaptor, AA batteries for the controller, a flight simulator software programme and even a couple of spare blades in case you break one. It comes in a cool display box which makes it a great gift for any teen or big kid!

The Ghz version does not require different crystals to be used with other models in the same area. In UK mode 2 which means that the throttle control is on the left hand side. This is a proper radio set that you should not confuse with the ones that come with the toy RC helicopters which have a very short range. These ones have a range of hundreds of meters!

This helicopter was designed with a divided canopy and fuselage connected by a carbon fibre rod which is practical and looks great. There are three sliding wheels in the landing strut, which can slide automatically while taking off and landing. The ornamental tail houses a ducted rotor blade that actually rotates automatically when flying the helicopter! ESKY's original transmitter to computer cable is included in the pack. Installing the flight simulator software from the enclosed disc on your computer and connecting the simulator port in the transmitter to the computer will allow you to practice your flying on your computer before going for your real flight!

1:10 - Raptor Brushless RC Truggy

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:36:50 +0000

]]>

Brushless motor systems are a new technology that until recently have only been available as upgrades for normal rc cars. This is because to have a brushless setup not only requires the brushless motor but also a brushless ESC, li-polymer battery and special li-polymer charger which are all very expensive and would cost hundreds of pounds. Then came some brushless 1:16 scale brushless models that due to there smaller size only needed a smaller brushless motor etc so could be priced at a realistic level. AND NOW... We are please to introduce the full 1:10 scale Raptor brushless rc truggy. With a big brushless motor and 11.1V Li-Polymer battery these models are ridiculously quick and at an amazing price!

The Raptor truggy is a high performance, high speed speed machine. With its unique truggy tyres and low centre of gravity design the models performs both on and off the tarmac. The 4WD system with front and rear differentials evenly distributes the massive power to the wheels making the Raptor a race winner.

The special motor in this model is much quicker than the motors found in other models. Because it is brushless it also means the motor needs no maintenance and can handle a lot more power being pumped into it. So to take full advantage of that the standard 7.2v Ni-Cd batteries that are found in most rc car kits has been replaced with a very powerful 11.1v lithium battery along with a balanced lithium battery charger which is needed for these special batteries.

The brushless RC car comes fully built with everything you need to get racing apart from eight normal AA batteries for the radio handset. This is a high spec racing model that at full speed requires some real skill to control it. It is therefore recommended for ages 14+.

Specifications:
Width: 330MM
Height: 140MM
Length: 410MM
Wheelbase: 270MM
Gear ratio: 8.95:1
Wheel dia.: 110*55MM

1:16 - Pioneer Brushless RC Truggy

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:16:28 +0000

There is only one way to best describe this brushless radio controlled car and that is extreme speed. The Pioneer will run at over 40mph out of the box! This is all thanks to the brushless motor and high power 11.1v Li-Polymer battery pack.

The special motor in this brushless radio controlled car is much quicker than the motors found in other models. Because it is brushless it also means the motor needs no maintenance and can handle a lot more power being pumped into it. So to take full advantage of that the standard 7.2v Ni-Cd batteries that are found in most rc car kits has been replaced with a very powerful 11.1v lithium battery along with a balanced lithium battery charger which is needed for these special batteries.

With this massive amount of power it is important that the model can handle the speed and pressure that is produced so many of the parts have been made stronger like you would find in a nitro rc car. An aluminium chassis, high torque servo, aluminium drive shaft and extra thick oil filled shocks, along with a mixture of metal and special slightly flexible plastic all ensure that the power does not just rip the model to pieces.

The model comes fully built with everything you need to get racing apart from eight normal AA batteries for the radio handset. We have not been this excited about a new model for a long time and you will know why when you hit the throttle for the first time and see it pop a little wheelie before taking off at such a crazy speed. Highly recommended.

Features:
1. Fully assembled ready to run

1:5 - ShengQi Petrol Radio Controlled Baja Buggy

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:50:39 +0000

]]>

The all new ShengQi petrol RC Baja is a beast with a massive feature list. This is an extreme model with loads of power thanks to its DZY 23cc engine with Japanese Waibro Carburetor and NGK spark plug that pushes it to speeds of up to 80 km/h! The attention to detail and quality of parts is superior to others and can not be beaten on value for money. Look at similar 1/5th scale models with the same or less specs on the market, as you will see they retail for over twice what we are selling these for!

The first thing that you will notice when you open the box is the massive size and the excellent carbon shell. Unique to these models, the glossy finsihed shell looks amazing. Everything you need is included and as these are actual petrol powered models you can get the fuel from a petrol station rather than having to visit a model shop to get special fuel like you have to with the nitro models.

Unlike a nitro radio controlled car, the petrol RC baja runs on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheaper to run than a nitro model. Mixing the petrol is very easy. You simply fill up a petrol can with 5 litres of unleaded at the petrol station then pour in 125ml of 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.

If you are looking for a quality petrol RC buggy you will not find a better package for anywhere near this price. Hard aluminium chassis, centrifugal clutch, helical toothed differential, central gearbox, big fuel tank, over length oil filled shocks, the ShengQi Baja Buggy ticks all the boxes!

Specifications:
1) Scale: 1/5
2) D/W: Rear 2WD system, differential with built-in gears
3) Brakes: Rear Disc
4) Speed: 80km/h
5) Engine: Single cylinder, two stroke, air-cooled, 23cc
6) Torque: 1.8N.m
7) Power: 1.58kw / 2.15 bhp

Cyclone Self Build Nitro RC Car Kit

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:11:13 +0000

]]>

By popular demand we are now stocking a range of unbuilt nitro radio controlled car kits for those who enjoy building models as much as using them! Forget lego etc, these self build kits provide hours of fun and when they are finished they are actually fun to use! For the hours of use and enjoyment you will get from first building and then racing them these kits are amazing value for money. If you are new to nitro rc cars then buying a self build kit is a great way to learn about the hobby and see how they work before going out and racing them. We sell some of these models to schools as they are educational and a great introduction to mechanics and engineering. There is no other product on the market that gives such a complete all in the box kit like this.

Unlike other self build kits on the market that only include the basic chassis and none of the electronics etc, these kits include everything needed to complete and even the tools you need to build them! Team Infinity 18 engine, pistol type radio equipment, grease, oil etc - everything is there. Construction will take around 8 - 12 hours on average and is recommended for ages 14+.

The most important thing with a self build kit is the instruction manual. With these kits the manual has been given a lot of attention to ensure a smooth construction. This is a not a few pages pamphlet like with some other kits, this is a thick manual that was designed and written in the UK to make sure nothing was lost in translation at the factory. Construction is broken down into many stages with each corresponding stage's parts packaged separately. The steps are clearly shown using CAD 3D images with every part labeled individually.

The end result is the Cyclone racing car. A seriously quick model that features a strong alloy chassis, shaft driven 4WD system, oil filled shocks, front and rear differentials and sealed radio tray. The Cyclone is powered by a Japanese Team Infinity size 18 engine that rockets the model to over 40mph.

1:10 - Bug Crusher - Nitro RC Monster Trucks

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:37:36 +0000

]]>

This is the great looking and even better performing monster truck. Many of the specs are the same as our other nitro monster truck - the Conquistador - such as the high power gear ratio, aluminium shocks, large size 18 engine and high ground clearance. There are however a few differences.

The most obvious difference is the visual finish. Finished in a unique and funky paint job. Matched with the dual aluminium shocks and over sized wheels with flashy rims we believe this could be the best looking nitro monster truck on the market.

This version of monster truck has been upgraded with high quality Team Infinity engines. Team Infinity engines are made in Japan and feature a simplified carb that makes them the easiest to start and one of the most reliable engines on the market. Usually these models come with engines made in Taiwan or China that you will see being offered by other model shops selling these but from our experience we have found the extra few pounds for a Japanese engine is well worth it for the difference in quality and performance.

We have had this version of Monster truck kited out with traditional stick type controllers whereas the Acme range come with the new wheel type controllers.

Required to use:
Fuel, glow start (both optional below) and 12 normal aa batteries.

Features:
Pivot Ball suspension
Innovative spring loaded bumper
8 Oil-filled aluminium shocks
2.5mm thick anodised aluminium chassis

The Backwash Pro is the ultimate nitro radio controlled car with many hop ups included as standard. If you want a race ready model with all the main upgrades pre-installed then this is the perfect choice. You can't get a 1/10th buggy with a longer features list or that looks this good. We have taken a standard Backwash and then crammed it with all the best optional parts which if purchased separately would cost a lot more. Also included is a rechargeable battery pack and charger for the electronics which gives more power and speed to the servos than using normal AA batteries.

As well as all the features found on the standard Backwash nitro radio controlled car, this pro version includes the following:

Polished Aluminium Tuned Exhaust Pipe
Steel Universals Drive Shafts
Aluminium Upper Chassis
Aluminium Front Suspension Upper Arms
Aluminium Front Suspension Lower Arms
Aluminium Front Servo Link
Aluminium Rear Servo Link
Aluminium Rear Suspension Lower Arms
Aluminium Pro Shock Absorbers

This is the great looking and even better performing HSP nitro radio controlled buggy. The buggy is extra tough and a good all rounder performing well both on road and off. The Backwash is feature packed making it one of the top spec buggies on the market and the .18 engine along with the automatic 2 speed gearbox makes it extremely quick. Please note there are two other cheaper versions of the HSP nitro buggy but this is the top of the range one that has the two speed gearbox and also the pivot ball suspension. These also have upgrades on them such as the chrome finished wheels, Infinity engine and stick type transmitter. The Backwash comes fully built with everything included apart from fuel, glow start (both optional below) and 12 normal AA batteries.
