Great Planes has just released the F-86 Sabre, a 15″ span electric micro that offers genuine ducted fan performance and impressive scale appearance in an exciting new form. Performance equipment includes a factory-installed brushless motor and ESC, as well as a LiPo battery and charger. A 30mm HyperFlow™ ducted fan unit – and ducting that runs the length of the aircraft – are also included, giving the F-86 the power and thrust for everything from fast, full-throttle passes just off the deck to outstanding sport aerobatics on high.

The F-86 Sabre’s appearance is a solid match for its performance realism. The factory-finished fuselage and wings feature molded-in details and lightweight decals to provide authentic markings and insignia. The magnetic battery hatch is hidden under a realistic canopy, complete to pilot figure. The included landing gear can be attached for ROG takeoffs, but can also be removed for easy hand launching.

In addition, the F-86 Sabre also offers the unique advantages of new Transmitter-Ready™ (Tx-R) aircraft. Like all Tx-R planes, the F-86 comes with a 2.4GHz Tactic™ SLT™ receiver. It’s the difference that allows pilots to fly the F-86 with their favorite transmitter and the AnyLink™ Radio Adapter.

Pilots looking for true jet performance and true-scale appearance can finally have it all in one compact package: the F-86 Sabre from Great Planes.

Virtually all pilots have a “go-to” transmitter – the one they grab for automatically when it’s time to fly. Now there’s a way to realize the full potential of that transmitter and almost any other, regardless of brand, band or modulation: the AnyLink radio adapter.

It’s so innovative that a patent is pending, yet is so easy to use that it can be installed in seconds. Once installed, it enables virtually any transmitter to broadcast a true, 2.4GHz signal and fly a wider variety of aircraft than ever before.

One of the biggest pluses of the AnyLink is that it will work with virtually all popular transmitter brands, including Futaba®, Hitec®, JR® and Spektrum®. Once AnyLink is installed, the transmitter will broadcast a 2.4GHz signal and function like any other frequency-hopping, spread spectrum transmitter. Pilots enjoy all the benefits of 2.4GHz technology at little or no cost, while using the transmitter they know and trust most.

Compatible receivers are already available and very affordable. AnyLink was designed around the same 2.4GHz protocol used in Tactic™ radio systems. That makes all Tactic SLT™ receivers compatible with AnyLink™ – and it’s why SLT receivers are supplied with the new Tx-R™ (Transmitter-Ready™ ) aircraft now available from Flyzone™ and Great Planes®. As the name implies, Tx-R aircraft need only a transmitter and AnyLink to be complete. All twelve come factory-equipped with an SLT receiver, motor, ESC and servos, plus a LiPo battery and charger. Choices range from WWI bipes and WWII fighters as well as a wide range of classics and the new Great Planes F-86 micro – a 15″ span jet that boasts true EDF performance. Perhaps most amazing of all is that pilots who buy a Tx-R aircraft through April 30, 2012 can get their AnyLink absolutely free!

AnyLink will also work with other aircraft that use, or could be retrofitted with, an SLT receiver. For pilots who prefer the feel of their own transmitter, AnyLink represents a golden opportunity to enjoy a greater variety of aircraft choices and the benefits of 2.4GHz technology.

A revolution in radio control is coming, and Transmitter-Ready aircraft are leading it. While they offer the same assembly and finishing ease as ARFs and receiver-ready planes, Transmitter-Ready aircraft differ in two big ways. One is that they include a factory-installed, 2.4GHz SLT™ receiver. The second is that you can fly one Tx-R aircraft – or all twelve – with your favorite transmitter even if it’s not 2.4GHz. All it takes is your transmitter and the AnyLink™ Radio Adapter.

AnyLink is a little black box that works magic with most popular transmitter brands – Futaba®, Hitec® JR® and Spektrum® included – and most bands and modulations, too. Adding it takes just seconds, but turns your transmitter into a 2.4GHz powerhouse and gives you a dozen new aircraft to fly.

The current lineup includes eleven popular micros and park flyers from Flyzone™, plus the Great Planes® F-86 Sabre, a new micro that offers true EDF jet performance in a 15″ span airplane. Best of all, you can enjoy the added choices and 2.4GHz dependability without giving up the familiar “feel” of your favorite transmitter – or having to buy a new one. Those are three good reasons to give Tx-R aircraft a try, and here’s another: a limited-time offer for a free AnyLink with the purchase of any Tx-R aircraft.
