Aero Voyager EP RTF
Real radio control flying * real quick!
Free DVD Included!
With its V-tail mixing and full-function, 3-channel radio, the Aero Voyager
is the next step up in a ready-to-fly electric airplane. Hobbyists will
learn the subtleties of control surfaces and pushrods * important benefits
for moving up to larger, more complex models in the future. And it still has
the FlyZone advantage of including virtually everything needed to get
started immediately, including a free DVD with helpful hints on plane setup
and successful flying!
* Ready to fly, right out of the box, with everything included except "AA"
batteries for the radio.
* Designed for durability, the one-piece wing attaches quickly to the
lightweight, blow-molded fuselage, and includes spars for additional
support.
* A translucent canopy serves as an easy access to the battery compartment.
The V-tail design makes use of pushrods and control surfaces for precise
flight control.
Modelers will enjoy longer flights with the included NiMH battery. Plus, the
12V DC quick charger recharges it right at the field, for nearly non-stop
flying action.
The hobby-quality radio features three channels of operation, for V-tail
mixing and throttle control. The throttle lever is positioned on the
transmitter to allow for launching with one hand while maintaining
proportional throttle control with the other.
The lightweight, micro-sized servos that come with the Aero Voyager are just
like the ones found in more expensive model airplanes!
* Wingspan: 42.5 in (1080mm) * Length: 30 in (762mm) * Requires: 8 "AA"
batteries

Mini Regent & Mini Sentinel EP FF Airplanes
Maximum flying fun in a more compact size.
With the motor and NiCd battery already installed, these futuristic flyers
can be airborne in minutes!
* The included field charger recharges them in 15-60 seconds, for continuous
flying fun (charger requires 2 "AA" alkalines).
* Adjustable trim tabs allow modelers to make left and right turns.
* Both models are available in two different color trim schemes.

Parallel Connection Boards for Li-Po Packs
The best way to link Li-Po packs together.
Perfect for R/C pilots wanting multi-pack Li-Po power for 3-D and large
scale aircraft!
* The Parallel Connection Board fits inside the fuselage, with mating
connectors for up to 5 Li-Po battery packs.
* Eliminates the tedious process of cutting wires and soldering packs
together; modelers solder just one lead to the speed control!
* By merely unplugging a pack from the board, individual charging of packs
is also much more convenient.
* Boards are perforated, so modelers can snap off connectors as needed to
fit their particular application.
* Two different versions: one to fit Dean's plugs for 2-3 cell, 1200mAh or
1500mAh packs, and one that works with 2-3 cell, 720mAh packs with Molex
plugs; leads not included.

Super Chipmunk .91-1.20 ARF
The return of a "magical" aerobat.
IMAA-legal 81" wingspan
Expertly Covered in Top FliteŽ MonoKoteŽ
"Those aspiring to become proficient aerobatic pilots can now put themselves
at the controls of a proven performer. In just a few hours modelers can have
a scale replica of Art Scholl's Super Chipmunk, right down to the trim
scheme. And it flies as sharp as it looks * capable of stunning maneuvers
before slowing to a smooth, stable landing."
Don Anderson,
President and Founder
Great Planes Model Manufacturing
For over 25 years, the Super Chipmunk was legendary stunt pilot Art Scholl's
personal ride * used to perform a unique and breathtaking aerial routine
that culminated in his signature move, the "Inverted Ribbon Cut".
Great Planes brings back this celebrated aircraft in an
Almost-Ready-to-Fly, IMAA-legal scale model that captures the look of his
Super Chipmunk in superb detail. Best of all, it's capable of recreating all
of the dazzling moves that made it a favorite at airshows...just as it will
be at your local flying field.
* The wings and stabilizer feature built-up balsa and plywood construction,
and are factory-covered in three brilliant colors of Top Flite MonoKote
film.
* The fiberglass fuselage, cowl, wheelpants and landing gear fairings
enhance the plane's scale profile without extra work, and are painted to
match.
* A generous supply of quality Great Planes hardware is included.
* The cockpit interior is superbly detailed, and includes instrument panel
decals and a pilot figure.
* Routing tubes inside the fuselage take the guesswork out of installing
hardware, and each flap and aileron is powered by its own standard-sized
servo.
With its low parts count and high level of preassembly, this
Almost-Ready-to-Fly model can be finished in just 12-15 hours. For easy
transportation, the balsa/ply outer wings detach from the fiberglass center
wing section. The fiberglass fuselage, cowl, wheel pants and landing gear
fairings enhance the plane's scale looks * without adding time-consuming
work. The roomy radio compartment affords plenty of space for on-board
gear.

Siren ARF EP Hotliner
Getting vertical just got easier!
* Wingspan: 79 in (2000mm) * Wing Area: 492 sq in (31.8dm2) * RTF Weight,
minus battery: 32.5 oz (920g) * RTF Wing Loading, minus battery): 9.1 oz/sq
ft (28g/dm2) * Length: 38.5 in (978mm) * Requires: 3-4 channel radio w/3
micro or nano servos, motor, ESC, prop, spinner
Great Planes enters the "hotliner" category, with the exciting Siren!
Originating in Europe, hotliners are electric aircraft with T-tails and flat
wings that allow them to fly very much like powered gliders. But hotliners
can also climb straight up into the sky, plummet downward after cutting
motor power, pull out of its dive just above the runway...and then perform
high-speed loops, rolls and inverted, before ascending again! This is
thrill-a-minute R/C flying that you've been wanting to try!
* In addition to a low parts count, the Siren boasts a bolt-on horizontal
stab and carbon-reinforced wing, factory-hinged ailerons and elevators, and
is precovered in a high-quality, iron-on polyester film.
* The fuselage comes with motor mount and all internal wood structures
already in place.
* Exhibits impressive powered glider flight with 3-channel radio control
(proportional motor, elevator and aileron).
* A Great Planes ElectriFly* Speed 600 motor delivers excellent flight;
however, truly aggressive vertical performance can be achieved by installing
a Kontronik* brushless motor system.
A huge plus: the Siren's fuselage is made of a high-tech carbon fiber
material that adds strength, lowers weight * and looks awesome!
