When we announced the Hangar 9 Inverza 33, we honestly thought that aerobatic planes couldn't get any more exciting. Today we stand corrected. Modelflight are pleased to inform you all that the Hangar 9 Inverza 62 will be coming soon and we are eagerly anticipating its arrival. The Inverza 62 was inspired by the Inverza project, lead by full-scale aircraft builder Kevin Kimball. Although this full-size plane is yet to be built, with the Inverza 62, you can witness the aerobatic potential of this design at your local field.

If you are ready to move up to a more powerful RC car or boat, you are going to need a great radio to go with this model. Hence the reason why we wrote this blog post to review and compare some of the best radios for intermediate-level models in order to help you find the one that is best for you.

Different models use different receivers, so it is important to check what frequency the radio and receiver use (for example, DSM or DSMR). Secondly, think about the number of channels your transmitter will require. Generally speaking, 2 channels should

This is one exciting addition to Modelflight's range of RC trucks. The Team Losi 8IGHT-T 3.0 is underpinned by the same features that made the 8IGHT 3.0 buggy the ROAR National Champion. In this blog post, we will be taking a closer look at some of the characteristics that make the 8IGHT-T such a solid performer, beginning with the suspension geometry.
Improved Suspension Geometry
You will find that the new 8IGHT-T truggy has neutral handling and is easy to drive fast. This is thanks to the refined suspension geometry, featuring 15-degree, non-inclined caster blocks. By raising the spindle in this
