Planes - Help and Advice
These products split between toys and models for the adult enthusiast.  We have added the word TOY or MODEL to the heading of each item to help differentiate.   We do not consider any RC aircraft suitable for under 12's, and even at that age the child should be supervised, since accidents can occur.  Note that we do not sell wooden fuselage aircraft due to safety issues - all our planes are of polystyrene and plastic construction for safety.

All models are supplied on either 27Mhz or 40Mhz - it is imperative (particularly with aircraft) that you check that there is no one operating on the same frequency band as yourself before you start to use the toy or model.

Items below that are shown as In Stock can be on the truck tomorrow!

  

Picoo-Z Atom

LICENSED TOY PRODUCT WITH GOOD CONTROLS

  

Click picture for larger view.

RRP £29.99 - save £11!

This is the new 2010 miniture helicopter - improved over the older versions and now made from plastic rather than polystrene!

They've done it again - these helicopters keep getting smaller, but this is just right in terms of indoor flight!  The Picco-Z Atom certainly lives up to its name and is the worlds smallest remote control helicopter, even being recognised by the Guinness Book Of Records.

What this little chopper lacks in size it more than makes up for in performance, because in its tiny lightweight frame has been packed a rechargeable Li-poly battery for extended flying time, 3 channel super wide infrared control, and a special propeller system for precision speed control and fantastic flying stability. Ideal for indoor flying the Picco-Z Atom will have you giving tiny tourists scenic flights around your house. The Atom is easy to control and with a bit of practise you'll be flying like a pro. Of course until then the Atom is also durable enough to withstand the odd bumpy landing.

Features:

bulletJust 112.5mm long, and only 8g in weight
bulletCan be stored in controller case for easy and secure transport
bulletBuilt in Li-poly rechargeable battery
bulletHelicopter charges direct from control
bullet4x AA size batteries required (not included)

Park Flite TGP0120 Super Cub PA18 RTF Plane WITH PC Based Simulator!

This is very good value, complete with charger and battery, and includes a PC based simulator so you can practice before you take to the air.

Modelled on the classic high wing aircraft, the Super Cub’s neutral tendencies make it the ideal choice when looking for a start in r/c aircraft. Everything you need is included right inside the box, from pre-installed brushless motor, electronic speed control and micro servos to 4-channel r/c system.

The simple ready-to-fly design means you just have to assemble a handful of components to have the Super Cub ‘runway ready’. A one piece moulded foam fuselage and main wing, along with tail and rudder are all that need to be attached. Then just add the scale finished landing gear and wing struts and away you go. Who said your first model was going to be ugly?

Once in the air the Super Cub flies beautifully, providing both novice and scale enthusiasts with the exact traits they need in an r/c aircraft.

Still a bit nervous of that first flight? Worried things won’t go to plan? Then take advantage of the FREE RealityCraft Trainer Simulator provided inside the box. Subject to your PC, this simple to use simulator is supplied with USB cable for your TX so you can practice and master the basics before you fly.

Tamiya 56403 Alt Stream

Self Assembly Kit It's a Tamiya Radio Controlled Plane!

  
Tamiya 56403 Alt Stream RC Plane

Click picture for larger view.

Tamiya's aviation series of flying models have been designed for ease of assembly and outstanding flight performance.  The model has been made incorporating state of the art aerodynamics and aeronautics to provide the very best for the scale aviation modeller.
 
In order to obtain excellent manoeuvrability during thermal soaring and slope soaring, the Alt Stream is controlled by it's rudder, elevator and ailerons. These vital control surfaces are connected to the servos via cables, enabling crisp response to the transmitter inputs without play or delay.

Length (tip to tail): 1030mm
Wingspan: 2000mm (yes, 2 metres!)
Wing Area: 35.6dm2
Stabiliser Area: 5.2dm2
Weight Fully Equipped approx 1200g

FOR FLIGHT IN THE UK THIS ITEM IDEALLY REQUIRES A 4 CHANNEL, 4 SERVO RADIO ON 35MHZ AIRCRAFT BAND.  Or a 2 channel with mixers, or possibly a 6 channel.  There are several options, all explained in the comprehensive manual - we can supply whatever you need to special order, but we recommend that you purchase the plane and study the instructions first to decide how you're going to set it up.

Notes from the spanner man: I've looked very closely at this kit - it's a really high grade model item - the wings are made from wood formers with a plastic covering, the fuselage is a light but strong looking plastic moulding and the quality/finish far exceeds most other aircraft I've seen before.  Looks to be a lot more substantial than the foam wing RTF models, for example.  Instructions are comprehensive, but there is far more to assembling this kit than first meets the eye - you need to spend some time fine tuning positioning of weights etc to get it perfectly balanced, and there is some gluing involved (i.e. proper modelling - not just screw A to B).  A good many evenings project.
 

Note: Spare parts available to special order only which may take a significant time and would be priced proportionally to the kit.  E.g. the wing comprises around half the kit.
