THREE NEW MODELS ARRIVE ON THE FLIGHTLINE

The 'Inspector' brought along his lovely Seagull EDGE 540 for a test flight.  'MTK' had the honour of putting this lively machine through its paces and commented later that 'it flew beautifully'.

The 'Inspector' choose an O.S. GT33 petrol engine (33 cc) for motovation and the electronics are from the JR stable in the form of the X-Bus system.

Next up was 'Taildragger's' new Pilot RC Yak 54.  Hobbyplastic (MacGregor Industries) are the importers for the Pilot range of models and will ship  the boxes directly to your door.  The sales invoice will be forwarded to your dealer so you pay the dealer.  This arrangement means there is only one carriage charge involved and potentially less chance of transit damage..  Good idea.

The model is powered by a DLE35RA and is fitted with Spektrum receivers and Hitec servos.  This is a beautifully finished model as you would expect from Pilot RC, albeit at a price.  (£410 incl. delivery)

Another new plane to make an appearance recently was 'Taildragger's' Pilot RC Extra 330SC.

This is 35% scale and of the usual high quality expected from Pilot RC.  Carbon fibre wing tube, under carriage, spinner and tail wheel assy..

Powered by a DLE111 twin cylinder (111 cc) motor and fitted with twin MTW Cans & Headers.  8-nr. JR 8911 servos fed through a Powerbox 'Cockpit'.  Twin 2-S LiPo batteries make things work.  LiFe battery on the ignition.  Two aileron servos on each wing, two on the elevator and two on the rudder.  Biela prop..  Pilot bust not included.  Spats not fitted as yet.  The rudder and stabilisers are readily detachable to facilitate transportation in smaller vehicles which is very convenient.

As this particular model was not in stock in the UK when required it was ordered from a dealer in Belgium.  No dearer 'to your door'  than getting it from the UK!   Pound vs Euro played a part in that I guess.
