Here at NQRC, I'm always coming up with new gear and while each new piece of gear tends to get its own series of threads it will also be easy to keep track of things in this one single thread.

Latest product releases;


PLD-ESJ-CHG-08; http://nqrc.com?vp=PLD-ESJ-CHG-08 - $29 AUD. For 2S and 3S lipo park planes.
Finally, have an on/off switch for your smaller planes. Avoid nearly breaking your fuselage every time you have to power up the system, additionally you can also charge your flight pack through it! Suitable for systems up to 10A (park flyers)



PLD-ESJ-CHG-RX; http://nqrc.com?vp=PLD-ESJ-CHG-RX - $29 AUD
Replace your old mechanical on/off switching system with this electronic switch. Suitable to replace wiring looms for existing gliders and glow engine planes. Charging is via the 3.5mm jack.



PLD-BAC-ESJ; http://nqrc.com/?vp=PLD-BAC-ESJ - $49 AUD
Take the very popular BAC-004 and add an electronic switch jack and charge port facility and you have the BAC-ESJ. For simplifying your DLG or other light glider, the BAC-ESJ puts everything into an easy to use package. Works great in QFIIs, DL50s and lots of other gliders.

Paul:

Any idea when and where the 3 above, really cool, gadgets will be available in the US or North America?

Jim

Jim,

For now they're only available via the NQRC store in AU, though we ship out to the US no problem (about $9 USD postage typically). In the near future stores like RCBuilder and possibly MountainModels will be carrying them.

Paul

G'day Paul,
Will there be a Canadian distributor mate?
Tah!
Kevin(Old FNQ'r)

G'day there Kevin,

Must be one heck of a change to be in a near permanent ice-box compared to a furnace

At the moment, no, here's no Canadian distributor of the PLDaniels electronics, so it's going to either be a direct purchase or...

Fortunately I've found that shipping isn't too bad up to 125g weight, typically comes out at just about $10 AUD.

Remember, These products are designed and manufactured here in Australia, these are not imports. Keeping R/C knowledge and technology local!

The "Lost model alarm", a device you rarely think about until it's too late. It's so easy to lose a model in grass and walk within a meter of it while looking but still not find it. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get one of these light weight, loud time savers.

Bonus feature: The new LMA-02's have a built in 220uF Low-ESR cap which actually assists in keeping your receiver/servos voltages more stable, so even when it's not helping you find your model the LMA is still being a useful participant!

If you put them into an 'echo chamber' in your plane somewhere (eg, empty fuselage section) you'll find that they can sound even louder depending on the configuration.

Compatible with PPM, PCM and Spektrum receivers.

At only 7.5g weight even with 150mm of lead this is a light weight gadget that is a huge time saver.

These are for 4 cell / 5V systems. If you want a 5-cell capable unit, then I suggest the PLD-LMA-LVA ( http://nqrc.com/?vp=PLD-LMA-LVA )

Available now at - http://nqrc.com/?vp=PLD-LMA-02 ($23.00 AUD / ~$19 USD)

The new BAC-ESJ6 is available.

Full details are here - http://nqrc.com/?vp=PLD-BAC-ESJ6

These are actually slightly cheaper than the previous model!

New product: 8A BRUSHED ESC, 7g with leads

http://nqrc.com/?vp=PLD-ESC08A , $23.00 AUD

Made especially for the small balsa planes like the Stevens Aero Diddlebugs, Mountain Models Cessna 180 and the PLDaniels EasyBox-II. Planes using the GWS IPS, LPS, 280 or 150 motors up to 3S lipo.

There's some hefty over-engineering in these ESCs, lots of decoupling for reduced electrical noise to the receiver/servos, underrated switching MOSFET to ensure things keep cool.

Supplied with JST leads.

Features the very safe 3-stage arming sequence (0%->100%->0% throttle) to greatly reduce the chance of accidental startups in the workshop when you forget the transmitter is at full throttle (it's saved me a few times!).

Finally after a couple of years of people repeatedly asking, I'm glad to announce that the servo "Go slow" unit for standard servos is now back on the market from me.

Very light weight (5.5g) , very simple to use (1 dial, nothing else), ideal for park flying machines which use normal servos as opposed to specific 'retract' servos.

Give your machine a nice scale retract effect.

These are designed/built/manufactured here in Australia, this is an Australian product.
