NEW PRODUCT: Ryan STA EPO (Red and white) PNF (USA Warehouse)

The Ryan STA is an icon of the golden age of aviation, quickly replacing the attractive but under-powered Ryan ST (Sports Trainer), the STA (Sport Trainer Aerobatic) won the 1937 International Aerobatic Championship, leading to immediate interest from the US military, if you are lucky, you can still see one of these fantastic looking aircraft doing the air show circuits.

On the other hand, you could own and fly your own! We loved the Ryan STA Plug n Fly so much when testing that it became a firm favorite with all the team. Made from tough EPO, we have really put this model through it''s paces and it is still going strong! Scale detail is impressive for a foam model, the huge wheel pants, rigging wire, panel lines and wing struts give an impression of a much larger model, both in the air and on the ground.

There is plenty of power from the pre-fitted motor for classic aerobatics like stall turns & barrel rolls, yet the generous STA wing area makes for a superbly balanced model that is just as happy flying at scale speed. Likewise, the pre-fitted servo/control surface combination is perfect, the result is one of the smoothest EPO models you are ever likely to fly.

Wingspan: 1000mm

We love J-3 Cubs here at Hobbyking as you may have noticed! This PNF Cub is remarkably scale for it''s size, is easy to fly and being a bit bigger can handle more wind than some of the smaller foam J3''s we offer. A real favourite with scale pilots, this is a Cub you will be proud to own.

The flaps keep the landing speed right down, this model has no nasty Warbird tip stall tendencies, it just floats in like a trainer.

NEW PRODUCT: Turnigy 2650mAh 3S 1C LLF Tx Pack (Futaba/JR) (AUS Warehouse)

The Turnigy 2650mAh Transmitter pack fits snuggly into any Futaba or Jr radio which uses a 4x4 AA cell battery configuration (see image).
It includes discharge plugs for both JR, Spektrum plus other radios.
It''s built with a low C-rate Long Life LiCo Formular which isn''t like a standard LiPo. It retains voltage for months on end without need for a storage charge so you can store your radio and fly once a month and not have to worry about discharging or recharging your pack.

With a capacity of 2650mAh this lipoly replacement for your old NiCD or NiMH will last four to five times longer. Probably the best advantage with a lipoly transmitter battery is that it will give a true voltage reading from start to finish which means you can say goodbye to the days where you thought your Transmitter was fully charged at home, only to find the voltage drop off rapidly when at the field.
