Like the other aircraft in ElectriFly’s WWI series, this SPAD XIII lets modelers experience the thrill of piloting a legendary fighter without having to transport a large model to the flying field. Its performance range is exceptional as well – from stable sport flying to lively combat maneuvers. In addition to a painted pilot figure, there are two Vickers .303-caliber machine guns – the armament that made the original SPAD XIII one of the best dogfighters of WWI. Fly a WWI classic with authentic SPAD XIII looks, quick ARF assembly and one that doesn’t require a lot of space to enjoy! Read the rest of this entry

Electric pilots will be talking about this classic scale-like Pup. The ElectriFly Sopwith Pup ARF takes foam construction to a new dimension with a full fuselage that’s more realistic than flat foamies. Designed specifically for indoor flight, the Sopwith Pup offers superior flight performance and the Pup is a quick-build averaging 2-4 hours from bench to air and because it uses standard micro electronics, it’s easy on the budget. The Sopwith Pup boasts an authentic trim scheme right from Herbert Smith’s 1916 design with a quality hardware package included in the box. And although it’s designed to fly indoors, modelers can take this Pup out for a romp on calm days! Read the rest of this entry

The AquaCraft UL-1 Superior RTR combines custom-designed performance equipment and innovative engineering, resulting in an FE competition racer that’s NAMBA and IMPBA legal. And with all of its winning advantages, the UL-1 Superior is also ready to run! The 6-pole, 36-56-2030kV brushless marine motor is virtually maintenance-free, extremely efficient and best of all, powerful! It’s factory-installed and comes with a custom water cooling jacket. Like the motor, the aluminum ESC is water-cooled, waterproof, preinstalled and LiPo-compatible – with a “stutter” bump warning system that alerts to when battery voltage is low. The 2.4GHz Tactic radio is the cutting edge in precision control and reliability and does away with the hassle of replacing crystals. With all of its top-notch components, the UL-1 Superior gives new meaning to the term Fast Electric (FE)! Read the rest of this entry

RealFlight just became even more real! Now, on one convenient DVD, RealFlight G4.5 offers new features and enhancements that take this simulator to the highest level of realism yet – with truer-than-ever physics, graphics and sound. Trainer functions and Virtual Flight Instruction from expert pilots like Frank Noll, Jason Shulman, Jason Noll and Todd Bennett make it a stronger tool for honing flying skills. Three pre-set difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate. advanced) let pilots choose how sensitive the physics should be. An unlimited number of Custom levels may be created, too. There are many new models to fly as well as two brand new PhotoField flying sites. And with G4.5, every aspect of the flying sites and aircraft is controlled. Over 70 “stock” aircraft are included and with the AccuModel™ aircraft editor, changes and modifications to aircraft are easily made. With new sound effects, modelers can hear everything from servo motors to wheels rolling and squeaking – and more. Using the Multiplayer, up to Read the rest of this entry

With performance upgrades usually found only on larger models, the DuraTrax Vendetta TC leads the way in the mini-sized touring car class. This on-road terror continues the legacy of the Vendetta buggy and ST, so you know it’s ready to run and equipped to win. The ball-type front suspension allows for fine-tuning camber and toe-in to meet track conditions. Suspension travel limiters at all four corners set the ride height by limiting down travel. The Vendetta TC is 1/18 scale on-road excitement with the adjustability you would expect from 1/10 scale vehicles. Read the rest of this entry
