Hangar 9 Sundowner 36 ARF
The new Hangar 9 Sundowner 36 is a speedy sport scale perfect for high-speed aerobatics and club racing. Based on the Sundowner Formula 1, this speedy performer has a scaled-down aggressive racer body design that is at home equally as a sport flyer or as a serious racer. Designed to be powered by EP or GP powersystems, this plane delivers racer styling at a lower cost. This spirited speedster is constructed of lightweight balsa and plywood with carbon fiber reinforcements for added strength and durability. The low parts count makes this ARF exceptionally easy to assemble, and with a two piece wing, easy to disassemble for transport.

E-flite UMX Extra 300 3D BNF
The Ultra Micro eXtreme (UMX) Extra 300 3D from E-flite makes the dream of a 3D plane you can fly almost anywhere a reality. With a flying weight of 33 grams, battery and all, it is slow and light enough to fly extreme 3D maneuvers in spaces no larger than a dining or conference room. Its ingenious laser-cut foam airframe, designed by ETOC champ Seth Arnold, makes it all possible. The structure uses a fraction of the foam material usually used in profile planes of this type and is covered with micro-thin film. The UMX Extra 300 3D BNF comes completely assembled with a punchy 8.5mm coreless brushed motor and Spektrum AR6400L Ultra Micro DSM2 Receiver/ESC installed. Built-in long-throw servos on the AR6400L drive the elevator and rudder while two independent Spektrum AS2000L long-throw ultra micro servos drive the ailerons. A 1S 3.7V 150mAh Li-Po battery and DC Li-Po charger are also included. The indoor plane becomes available late November 2010.

Century Heli Sprag Auto Unit Set
Century released first information on the Sprag Auto Unit Set for the Radikal G20 helicopter. It replaces the stock Torrington style roller bearing autorotation unit. The new, updated part is highly recommended for the use with modified engines or when performing continuous auto-rotations. The German made Sprag bearing that is included in the Sprag autorotation unit provides the amount of grip and free-wheeling function that allows for continuous auto-rotations and provides a substantial increase of grip necessary to run modified motors. The logarithmic spiraled engagement curve guarantees equal pitch angles between the sprags and mating surface each and every time when the clutch is engaged.
