We have flown Twister 3D for a while now, and there is only one thing we wanted ... more power !  The rotor head is tight enough to deliver a fine performance when using the more efficient motors for power, so the brushless Twister 3D arrives for September. 

The new FAQ section to the website, for troubleshooting problems has turned out a great success - so more problems and their solutions are added.
The monthly clearout sale is now set up, every 4 weeks new items will be added. We used to have a clearout sale for end of line items only, but from now on there will be "overstocked" items added to this. This means that some models may make it into the sale for no other reason than we want a lower stock level for that particular month. the accountants must be kept happy, and this provides an opportunity to pick up a desirable model for a knockdown price.
The Monthly Sale link is here .... 
A new helicopter has been added to the range available. This is Twister 3D, and it comes pre-built in a standard version with many possible performance upgrades available. We have tested Twisted 3D over the past few months and are happy that it is the best value for performance in "400" size helicopters. Which is why we have selected this particular one for our customers.

Carson Cars are beginning to arrive. We were impressed with these cars last year when we tried out our first ones. Now we have several combos due in in the coming weeks.

New MVVS engines added to our range. Results so far have been so good that we have decided to switch our support from Irvine engines to MVVS as our first choice of power with excellent reliability for customers. The value is simply better for power, price, and durability in our humble opinion. MVVS are ballraced, and spare parts cost less when damage is done in a crash. A better deal all round.

Testing our new website, the new version will be launched next week.

The new small size outrunner motors are in production. We have received two, (there is a waiting list for these). It is a 400 size motor that can do 15 amps on 7 cells. This makes it far more powerful than speed 400s for less weight and size than one. All 400 type models can take this motor, and will have huge power increases with e.g. an 8 x 6 prop instead of the speed 400 6 x 3 prop. The rough equivalent of a 40 trainer with engine running flat out (if you decided to fly with full throttle!) is a good comparison of a Pluton 400 Cub with this motor.

Norman took the newly arrived Pluton 400 Cub out for maiden flight testing today. For the misguided people, this electric model flew with engine on continuously for 25 minutes, while chasing glow (4-str) planes round the sky. The 2-str planes cannot match this type of electric model for duration any more.

Results ... brilliant. This is a mini version of a 40 size glow trainer, but done in electric with a motor that costs just 8 euros. However it does things the glow version cannot do , the micro wing servos allow both aileron to be raised together as spoiler airbrakes while still functioning as ailerons. The same feature allows both ailerons to be dropped, making them into flaperons and airbrakes.

Done as SPOILERONS we can slow down and descend faster while flying level, this is perfect for landings in strong headwinds where the plane doesn't want to come down due to its airspeed against the wind. HOWEVER if done as flaperons we can slow down but increase lift, now on still days we can slow down almost to a standstill before landing. We got it on video for the unbelievers, and the video shows the plane flying directly towards the cameraman, then slowing down and doing a spot landing right at his feet !

Limited run of Baja Beetle off-roaders back in stock , probably for the next 4 weeks.

The Heinkel Salamander jets are on the way. ARTF for a motor-fan unit that uses the DAISY nicad battery we all have. Arrival due in about 2 weeks now. Get a Daisy battery and 2 micro servos ready and earmark them for this.

New video in shop. We put the euro elec champs on computer file, nice highlight in the shop where a contestant rolls his car on a corner, lands on wheels, continues the race, and WINS !

Flying wing foamies arrived. These are motorized with aircraft, engine, gearbox and propeller all in the kit. Small size only 74 euros, large faster size 94 euros. Call in as we wont be selling these mail order due to demand from regular customers being almost matching our suppliers production limits.

M V V S engines are here. Ball raced, high compression, side or rear exhaust, aero, car and marine versions available. Also a Quickie 500 Race 40 size which has the race tuned pipe INCLUDED. Prices are good, we have committed to quantity for these and we will stick with them so spares are IN STOCK too. Throttling quality is better than IRVINE, absolute power output is about OX FX level, the engine is ballraced and only half the price of the OS. We have the standard mufflers in the box but tuned pipes are here and can be got on request.
