Not
actually a new product, but newly available at a very special price and for a
very limited time, is this O.S.60 (FP-RN - rear safety needle) engine from Just
Engines. This company, specialising in engines, reckon this to be a much
under-rated engine, easy to start, set and operate, with the normal O.S.
reliability and dependability. Supplied with the nice, quiet O.S. twin chamber
silencer - a powerful (more powerful than the new 65LA say Just Engines),
lightweight (510g), this engine is available for only £69.99 - the normal RRP
is £99.99. A diesel version, including silencer, is also available at £99.99.
Available until the end of February or until stocks run out!
Here's
a nice little gadget, distributed by Ripmax through your model shop and priced
at only £3.99! It's called the Groove Tube and it makes clean, consistent
grooves in balsa for installing aileron rods and elevator inter-link wires. The
hollow end catches balsa shavings when pushed along the wood surface, which are
then forced out after each pass with the spring-loaded plunger on the other end.
The result is uniformly round grooves - much faster, safer and more precise than
using a hobby knife.
New
from Multiplex, following on from the massive success of the Twinstar, is the
Pico-Jet, a 400-size electric pusher model giving immense fun and absolutely
minimum building time. This model is said to be great for the expert; suitable
for pylon racing, formation, combat or just for fun - it has enormous ability to
convert speed into height making it great for aerobatics. 895mm wingspan, length
515mm. It comes with ready made pre-coloured fuselage, wing and tail components.
A comprehensive kit with complete accessory pack and 400-size motor included at
£49.95. The UK agent for this one is Flair Products Ltd, telephone +44 (0) 1793
721303.
