Despite the hot weather, around 30 pilots and spectators watched as the Blade mCP X BL and ParkZone Visionaire

January 14, 2013 86Our friend, Chuck T. Seeker recently produced some great videos on the Carbon Z Yak 54 from E-Flite. We wanted to share them with you below. In the first one, Chuck unboxes the Carbon Z Yak 54. As you will see, he goes into great detail about how the plane's Carbon Z airfame sets it apart from balsa models. Chuck also talks about the Yak 54's centre of gravity, ailerons, rudder and flaps. Additionally, you will see how Chuck set up this E-Flite RC plane for its maiden performance. The video can be seen below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8j4x_x0at4 As

January 11, 2013 192At Modelflight, we take a lot of pride in our range of scale This 60-size ARF is certainly no ultra-micro and you will find that its range of features is just as large. Made from an all-wood construction, the Messerschmitt incorporates two Selig airfoils with just the ideal amount of washout, letting you soar at high speeds while still performing graceful landings. Additionally, Hangar 9 has included a four-section flap system, giving you a greater range of speed and manoeuvrability. One of the key features of the Messerschmitt is its ability to combine great performance with accurate scale detail. The construction of this RC plane allows for its curved surfaces to be fully sheeted. This

January 07, 2013 44We are only a few days into 2013 and there have already been some exciting new videos on our YouTube channel. Our film crew hit the ground running to capture Mike reviewing the brand new Parkzone VisionAire. Fortunately for us, this RC plane had only just arrived at our office, so Mike had a chance to unbox the VisionAire too. As you will see, Mike describes on how the Quique Somenzini-designed plane gives sport flyers the chance to become 3D pilots. This video focuses on the impressive wing and tail design of the VisionAire that allows you to perform exciting 3D manoeuvres with ease. Mike's review of this remote control plane can be seen below: http://youtu.be/BmmKO4rYtbg We were also able to produce this demo video

January 06, 2013 69Our friend Chuck was lucky enough to receive a surprise Chrismas present this year... in the shape of a new Parkzone release; the Parkzone Archer. Here, he brings us the unboxing/review of the Piper Archer. "...i think when you see this plane you are going to fall in love as it is a good copy of a classic plane. I'll show those that don't know how to put it together and bind your Tx to it..." Chuck
