When you're new to the hobby it's worth contacting a local flying club to get help and hands on advice with flying a model. A full list of national flying sites and aircraft clubs can be found at www.bmfa.org .
Powered flight is usually noisy and exciting so care must be taken to avoid annoying, or even worse, colliding with third parties. Some instruction will be necessary as it is all too easy to crash! Remember that warranties are restricted to repair/replacement of faulty items and crash damage is excluded.
Welcome to the world of full blown internal combustion engine powered models, using glow fuel. Power models usually have three functions, throttle, rudder and elevator as the simplest configuration, although provided the operator is using the services of an instructor, there is no reason why a trainer should not have aileron control as well. The typical powered trainer will be high winged, with sufficient stability to allow the model to fly 'hands-off' while the flyer thinks about what to do. Most models require some degree of building and trimming, a task made much easier by taking advice. Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient power; electric, miniature internal combustion or even jet engines, plus lighter and more powerful batteries and less expensive radio systems.
A wide variety of models and styles are available. We also supply radio controlled aircraft simulators , so you can hone skills before attempting a first flight or to practice aerobatics without risk of damaging the aircraft.
E-Scale Seafire ARTF Radio Control Kit Suitable For Nitro/Electric (4495120)
The E Scale Seafire makes for a satisfyingly different modelling subject thanks to it's
classic Spitfire lines and it's interesting naval pedigree. Covered at the factory in
world-famous polyester Oracover film, with all wood laser-cut balsa manufacturing,painted
FG Cowl, moulded ordnance, all built-up wings and tail surfaces, the graceful lines of the
original have been faithfully captured in this striking model - you can almost hear the
growl of the Merlin (or the later Griffon engine) from the long exhaust stack. Like the
original, the large wing area and excellent glide angle make for delightful flight
characteristics in the model,particularly reassuring on a slow fly-by with gear and split
flaps adangle.
Parts for electric flight conversion are included too. If you feel the need for
something refreshingly different but with a proven vice-free pedigree in flight, then have
a careful look at this great naval aeroplane from E Scale.
This is a Limited Edition to celebrate 102 years of Naval Aviation so don't miss
out, it may be a while before it comes round again.
