Great Planes Mfg. RealFlight Generation 3

The wait is over...the ULTIMATE R/C Simulator is Here!

Over 2500 square miles of flying fun!
The largest flying regions of any simulator - each created from
hundreds of MB of satellite imagery and digital elevation data. Modelers
may run out of fuel before they run out of new scenery in a flying
site!


Positively THE most realistic R/C simulator ever produced!

Over 10 unique airfields to fly at!
Backgrounds that are anything but static!
Objects accurately rendered in 3D!
Generation 3 goes far beyond the 2-dimensional, "billboard"-look of
other simulators. It's a living, breathing environment - fliers can
immerse themselves in the realism! Trees sway in the background; clouds
on the horizon follow the path of the prevailing winds; glare increases
and subsides in relation to the position of the sun. Background objects
even reflect off of the aircraft.

The incredible flight performance of new RealPhysics 3D!
RealFight Generation 3's new RealPhysics 3D physics engine was put
through demanding tests and trials by world-class modelers. They all
agree that aircraft on G3 fly more realistically than ever before - in
fact, this simulator sets unprecedented standards for accuracy in
exciting high alpha (3D) flight!

An easier and more powerful Aircraft Editor!
An almost infinite number of changeable parameters!
Any modifications that a pilot wants to make to a plane are graphically
represented on the wire-frame model, and reflected instantly on-screen.

Break-apart aircraft!
As is the case in real R/C flying, modelers may shear a wing off of
their aircraft if they are too careless. The aircraft continues its
flight, while accurately reflecting the parts lost!

Unparalleled collision detection!
Faster and more accurate than ever before!
Unlike other simulators that have just a few collision points,
Generation 3 utilizes a triangle-to-triangle collision detection system
that "blankets" the entire aircraft with a network of collision
detection points.

Superior wind modeling!
The wind field on G3 features 5 components: terrain-shaped, convection,
macro-turbulence, micro-turbulence and global - to account for even the
smallest detail! As winds collide, the strength and direction vary
accordingly, and airplanes and gliders will feel the "bump" of a
slope lift as they approach the top of a mountain or hill.

Top-notch teaching!
The Virtual Flight Instructor (VFI) has been expanded and enhanced to
include additional maneuvers for pilots of all skill levels. Experienced
modelers will be able to learn high-alpha 3D aerobatics from world-class
pilots!

Airport creating that's easy to use!
More objects to choose from!
With "drag-and-drop" simplicity, modelers can create entirely new
airports using the mouse and just a few keyboard strokes.

More aircraft choices than ever before!
Almost FOUR DOZEN unique designs to choose from!
>From park flyers to 3D aerobats, slope soarers to Reno racers, plus
helis and gliders, there's a wide variety of models to appeal to every
modeler's tastes.

A 360° "walk-around" preview option!
After the selected plane appears on screen, it revolves continuously.
Using the mouse it can be viewed from the top or bottom as well. When
changing trim schemes, modelers immediately see the alternate model in
the preview box.

One-click installation!
Even the novice computer user will be able to quickly install
RealFlight G3 with the customized one-click installer!

The InterLink Plus controller is new and improved!
Now with Multi-Mode feature!
The Multi-Mode feature on the InterLink Plus controller allows modelers
to connect an additional InterLink or standard radio transmitter to the
simulation! A push-button on the InterLink Plus controller allows for
rapid, keyboard-free model reset.*
*The InterLink Plus controller can als
o be used as an interface with
most 4-10 channel, FM or PPM-selectable radios which include a trainer
jack. For additional information, visit the RealFlight website at
www.realflight.com.

Split-screen capability!
G3's split-screen capability takes advantage of the InterLink Plus'
multi-mode function. Multiple players on the same PC can fly together or
conduct personalized training sessions.

Complete Add-Ons* compatibility!
Generation 3 is compatible with all five volumes of RealFlight Add-Ons,
expanding the system's capabilities even more!

The most popular features from Generation 2 have been retained on G3:
* Multi-Cam* picture-in-picture viewing
* Adjustable point of view
* Multiplayer online fun
* Heads-Up NavGuides*
* Playback and Recordings
* Competition/Events such as limbo, pylon racing and spot-landing
* Much, much more!

Great Planes Mfg. ElectriFly Brushless Motors

High "caliber" electric power plants!

20-Size Brushless Motors
Model # cells RPM per Max. constant Max. surge
input volt current current
20-3600 6-10 3600
20-4300 6-10 4300
20-5100 6-10 5100

Extreme power for 3D electric flight!
* Ammo 20-size brushless motors feature a slotless design that
offers numerous performance advantages.
* A patented method for overlapping the winds allows for more
copper to be packed inside the can, to generate exceptional power.
* Besides higher efficiency, Ammo brushless motors deliver
smoother * and cooler * operation than cheaper slotted motors, with
exceptionally high power to weight ratios.
* Available in three versions with different rpm/volt ratings:
3600, 4300 and 5100.
* Precision bearings make these motors very reliable, and
they're virtually maintenance free.

Because Ammo brushless motors are slotless, they have no heavy iron
teeth with air gaps in between, so more copper windings can be tightly
packed around the entire rotor. The result is no "cogging", which
increases efficiency, responsiveness and power output.

GPMG5000 ElectriFly Ammo 20-3600kV Brushless Motor

Futaba 9C Super Radios

"Super" upgrades for 9C radios!

They still have 9-channel PCM and 8-channel FM capacity, plus all the
same easy programming and the same switches and dials. But 9C Super
Radi
os offer so much more for your advanced R/C pilots: more memory,
more functions and more flexibility when it comes to controlling
airplanes, helis and/or gliders. This is the system for the modeler who
wants it all!

18-model memory.
Memory has been expanded to 12 models, and the 16K CAMPac module
that's included adds another six models * bringing the total up
to 18.

A three-function timer.
Can be utilized as an up timer or down timer * or to keep track of
total flying time for a particular model * and can be programmed to
any of the switches, the power switch or the throttle stick.

Enhancements to all three modes.

Glider Mode
With its extensive glider mode updates, the 9C Super is comparable to
other high-end systems!
In addition to the Basic offset trim, the 9C Super offers three other
offsets (launch, thermal and speed), with camber that can be customized
for each.
The four camber mixes can be set up on one screen and programmed to any
of the variable dials.
Besides setup ease, the glider mode boasts much more built-in
flexibility.
Any R/C aircraft with 4-servo wings will benefit the 9C Super's
technology!

Airplane Mode
With either a selectable switch and through channels 5, 7 or 8, fliers
can set up a 2-rate (Up/Down) or 3-rate (Up/Center/Down) GYA gyro
system.
The Air Brake is now switch-selectable.

Heli Mode
Throttle Curve and Pitch Curve now feature a delay that makes for a
smoother transition from hover to idle-up and better control.
The throttle hold and idle-up can be assigned to any switch that feels
more comfortable for the pilot.

Available with S3151 and/or S9252 digital servos * or without servos,
for add-on servo sales.
