This helicopter is the top of the line when it comes to authenticity. The aluminum frame provides rigidity without excess weight, and the direct linkage layout allows for strong, precise control. The length measures 25" and the main rotor checks in at 23".

For the airplane fanatic comes this complex, authentically-detailed flyer from Great Planes. The Ultimate Biplane requires approximately 20 hours of assembly (hopefully you know what you´re doing). The wingspan is 65," and the plane´s length is 72". The plane also requires a gasoline engine between 26 and 50cc and a 4-7 channel radio with 8-9 servos.

Designed for intermediate-level pilots, the Minnow is an R/C replica of the Formula One competitor first introduced in 1949. Fiberglass fuselage and a mid-mounted symmetrical wing offer excellent flight performance at both low and high speeds. The steerable tailwheel aids ground handling, and the smoothly faired pushrod exits enhance the Minnow´s scale appearance. A roomy radio compartment allows for easy installation of all on-board gear. Assembly takes as little as 12-15 hours. The sheeted, built-up balsa/ply wing halves and tail surfaces are precovered in MonoKote, and the fiberglass fuselage, cowl, wheel pants and aluminum landing gear arrive factory-painted to match. A clear canopy, scale aluminum spinner, decals and Great Planes hardware are all supplied.
