August 20, 2013 17It was a great turnout at the August indoor flying session at ETSA Park, South Australia. Pilots and spectactors flocked to see some brilliant RC plane and helicopter demonstrations, in addition to seeing some of the latest releases from Modelflight. It was an impressive line-up. Some of the new models that were on show included the new 350 QX from Blade, the Delta Ray from

Fans of RC jets, take note. E-Flite has just announced the launch of the UMX Habu DF 180. If it looks familiar to you, that’s no surprise. It is modelled on the very popular Habu 32 park flyer. In the same shape as the original, the key difference is that its ultra-micro size means that this ducted fan jet is small enough to fly in your own backyard. And boy, does this UMX Habu pack a punch! It features an EDF power system, incorporating the Delta-V 180m 28mm EDF Unit, coupled with a brushless 180m Ducted Fan Motor, with 11750Kv of power.
Check out this video where Mike takes us through the brand new release of the UMX Habu. You can also watch on Modelflight’s YouTube channel

June 25, 2013 19I dare say that we cannot expect, at this time of the year, any warmer weather than we're experiencing at present and this was the case for our June gathering of Indoor Fliers and, no doubt, the reason for us scratching to pay the rent at the stadium, the home of Netball S.A. where we gather to fly on the third Thursday of each Month - right throughout the year. I was pleased to hear from our leader, Michael O'Reilly of Model Flight that we did, in fact, make the necessary fee for this ultra-cold night. It turned out to be a great night for those who were keen enough to come along, no doubt like me, covered by multi-layers of woollen wear and the heaviest quality at that. My first picture, on this occasion, is an opening shot of Mike and Wayne in deep conversation

June 21, 2013 37A small but enthusiastic group of pilots braved very cold conditions to attend Indoor Flying at ETSA Park in Adelaide last night. There were some great models at the event and Modelflight was fortunate enough to come along with a camera in hand! On show was Alan Mark’s very impressive hovercraft, pictured below: Mike Seyfang also came with a Mini Vapor, Night Vapor and his own design EPP shock Flyer, a Sukhoi SU-26.

June 21, 2013 14In a previous blog post, we gave an overview of SAFE Technology in general and what its benefits are. In this post, we want to talk about how this technology is applied in the E-Flite Apprentice S 15e. The Apprentice S is an outstanding trainer plane and one of the primary reasons for its effectiveness is the use of SAFE Technology. As you may recall, SAFE allows for the creation of sensor-assisted flight envelopes

May 01, 2013 12Indeed, after months of anticipation, the 2013 JR Aerotow did come to the Warracknabeal Aerodome and Modelflight was there to capture all the action. Over 4 jam-packed days, 50 pilots from across Australia experienced some incredible scale soaring performances. There were over 100 scale gliders at the event, ranging from the small E-Flite Ultra Micro ASK-21 to a 7.5 metre-span, 1/2-scale ASW 28. We were able to capture the below footage from the event. Unfortunately, due to the excessive wind noise at Warracknabeal, we decided to produce the video without sound. Nevertheless,

April 04, 2013 67We have seen some great BNF RC planes at Modelflight, but this one we're particuarly excited about. E-Flite have just launched the Inverza 280. This plane is the outcome of a highly-qualified, three-person design team. Aerobatic world champion Quique Somenzini, in collaboration with full-scale aerobatic aircraft craftsman Kevin Kimball and aviation artist Mirco Pecorari, worked together to put this amazing remote control plane together.
