  1. Easy assembly with the included glue, hook up the control surfaces to the push rods, charge a flight battery, 4 AA batteries in the radio...then go fly ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOUQElY4o-M

  2. After nearly 10 years Joel Vlashof succeeds in designing and building an RC AV-8B Harrier Jump Jet that can actually take-off vertically, transition to flight then back to hover and land. Just an amazing achievement in aero-modelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jED6WOjL5cM

  4. A few minutes to assemble but a little longer to apply the decals with a covering iron. But worth the patience to apply them ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKsUwOxSz4I

  5. Simple assembly, lots of scale detail and perfect for noobs learning RC flight or experts flying aerobatics. I couldn't fault it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr90ZmflVO0

  6. Quick assembly and runs on 4S or 6S packs. Bigger does fly better ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gat5dIcNYLE
  7. I thought the original RCEra C138 was fantastic when it was released but it's now been improved with tail lights, brushless main motor, optical flow sensor, auto-inverted flight and improved feel to the radio transmitter.

  8. Can't beat head tracking for that immersive in cockpit experience... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHSrXDLOZ2E
  9. Caddx Walksnail FPV and iNav on a SpeedyBee flight controller in my DW Hobby 1.9m Savage Bobber Bush Plane. Just love the unobstructed views from this aeroplane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDP1mhP9Jow

  13. Exactly same features as the NEW PA-18 Super Cub. Ready to fly with 3 flight modes to suit difference experience levels. Stunt button and 'return to home' button. Comes with everything in the box needed to fly it except 4 x AA batteries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnWGXyZ2jl0

  14. First flights of FMS new mini PA-18. It has reasonable detail for little scale model and the well applies stickers do make it highly visible. The red stickers were pre-applied but there was a blue set in the box! We enjoyed flying it especially it's ease of take off/landing. The large wheels allow smooth take-off and it almost perfect landings can be achieved. Even in a 10-15mph breeze it is very stable in the air. We also liked that the non-stabilised/Manual mode which IS very flyable unlike many other mini Warbirds you can buy. We think the 'return to home' feature is a little mis-named. Preset the direction at take-off and it will always head back on the opposite to that direction when the RTH button is used. The red Stunt button works perfectly every time. Execute loops and rolls with ease. If travelling at 2/3 throttle or more then the rolls are very axial. The propeller does detach VERY easily from the claw mount on the motor shaft. The smallest touch on the ground and it will ping off so be careful you don't lose it. I wish they had included at least 1 spare propeller and prop hub as they are the components that are most likely to get broken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2eHexlynUY

  15. Latest micro helicopter now with GPS for easy hovering, return to home and failsafe to home should radio or flight battery hit low voltage. Turn off the GPS and you can fly indoors with optical flow and LiDAR sensor assistance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ANa3999lSE
