The HET L-39 Albatros is a high performance EDF Jet with fiberglass fuselage and foam/balsa wings suitable for 90mm Fan units such as the Schuebeler DS-51 or WeMoTec Midi Fan Pro. A turbine conversion to JetCat P-20 or Lambert T25 (see similar conversion done with the JTM Hawk) can be done. Please check with us on suitable turbines, pipes and accessories. The model features a fiberglass fuselage and foam/balsa wings with retract hard points pre-installed in the nose and retract hatches. The model comes completely pre-painted. The Model features flaps. This model is truly ARF with all the major work done for you. Retracts and suitable scale oleo struts are available as option
The brand new HET-RC Me-262 is a high performance Jet for TWIN EDF units such as the WeMoTec Mini Fan 480 or the HET-RC 6904 and 2x powerful brushless motors such as the HET-RC Typhoon 2W, 3W or 2W-20 EDF. The ARF kit features a olive green painted fiberglass fuselage with balsa sheeted foam wings. This new revised version of the Me262 now features retract gear mounting points which are the perfect match for the optional available electric retracts system and oleo strut set.
The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (German: “Swallow”) was the world’s first operational turbojet fighter aircraft. It was produced in World War II and saw action starting in 1944 in bomber/reconnaissance and fighter/interceptor roles. It was officially named Schwalbe because the swallow, when in a dive, is one of the fastest birds known. German pilots nicknamed it the “Turbo,” while the Allies called it the “Stormbird.” While the Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war (approximately 150 Allied aircraft losses for 100 Me 262 losses), its design had a strong influence on postwar aircraft development.
The HET Me163 Komet is a Fiberglass Model with Foam/Balsa Wings powered by a 70mm EDF unit. The model has enough space to accommodate LiPo packs of various sizes allowing either 3s or 4s configurations Speed freak – beware !!!!!
The SM80-45 EDF system is based on the highly successful SM89-45 and SM110 multiblade rotor design. Specially designed for the new 80mm fan Jets out there (e.g. eFlite Habu) Unlike traditional EDF units, the SM80-45 features a 11 blade rotor for improved static thrust and sound. Turbine like sound in an small scale EDF model is a dream come through thanks to this fan.

Introducing the new JetCat P20-SE, the baby turbine from JetCat. The JetCat P20-SE is the long awaited solution for small EDF Jet conversions. With 2.4kg thrust, this turbine can power any 90size EDF Jet (examples: JTM Hawk, JTM L-39, TamJets 1/12th scale F-16…..). The engine follows throttle commands almost without delay. The P20-SE comes with the new V10 ECU. Not only does it feature an incredible small size & weight, the new bus system makes installing your components a breeze. With one cable running from ECU to turbine (instead of 2 with the older versions) and one cable running from ECU to pump and on to the 2 solenoid block.
August features another contestant from the 2008 Top Gun event in Lakeland Florida. The picture features a Mig-15 Fagot during a dirty pass with gear, flaps and speed brakes deployed.

July 2011 features another photo taken during the 2008 TopGun Event in Lakeland Florida. This time we feature a BVM Ultra Bandit captured during a knife edge flyby.
AirPower Models are pleased to present their all new retract units. Made from Anodised aluminium these units feature air up and air down operation and are intended to use in models from 9kg / 20lbs up to 20kg / 45 lbs in weight. Designed to be retro fitted in many of today’s sport models these units are able to withstand operation from grass and tarmac fields. The main pivot block is made from high quality 7075 aluminium and machined to accept a 1/2” oleo strut. Retained in a clamp type mount that ensures a secure fixing with less chance of the leg rotating. The pivot pin is deliberately oversized in a effort to make all three units more rugged. The nose retract come as standard with the steering mechanism pre fitted as well as the straightening spring, although this can easily be removed and replaced with a 1/2 inch Oleo leg. The RA-215 are available as singular units or as a complete kit of 3 units.
AirPower’s RA-250 retract offers an ultra low profile that is only 27mm in height. This retract is able to take a 7/16″ diameter Strut. Also available is a standard gear wire in 3/16″ for Main Gears. The Retract is constructed out of high quality aircraft grade 6061-T6 & 7075 aluminum. The RA-250 Retracts is designed to replace other manufacturers retract systems and are the strongest retractable landing gear in the industry for this size.
Full electric retract set for the CARF Spark. The Tamjets / E-flite retract set is based on the original E-flite 60 – 120 Tricycle Electric Retracts set. However in order to support the weight of the Spark and make the retract unit more durable in general, Tamjets replaced the original E-flite trunion with an stronger unit machined out of high strength aluminum. In addition this new trunion is now capable of utilizing the proven Tamjets trailing oleo struts for the CARF Spark. The set further includes a set of Tamjet TJ Pro-Lite wheels and brakes to complete the combo.
High performance inflatable model tire with pneumatic brake and 5mm Wire strut + adapter. Inflatable tire with metal rim. The tires comes with precision ball bearings (6mm). Tire is replaceable. Suitable for all retract mechanics with 5mm wire adapter (wire strut is included in the set)
July features another contestant from the 2008 Top Gun event in Lakeland Florida. This BVM Ultra Bandit was presented by BVM during the event break.

June features a picture we took during the 2008 Top Gun event in Lakeland Florida. The plane is a 4 engine (gasoline engines) powered B-29 Superfortress.
The model carries a rocket powered X-1 Glider under the wing (the mounts can be seen on the picture) which it drops at height. The X-1 is controlled by a second pilot who will, after a short glide, ignite the rocket motor and steer the X-1 back to height.
