I haven't spotted too many new products to get excited about in the last two weeks, but here are a couple of items you might not have come across yourself. I must say, the idea of a starter without wires that might get in the way of the prop does seem attractive, but whether such an advantage is worth the price tag must be a personal choice!

This is the cordless Pocket Starter available direct from Motors & Rotors. It uses a standard cup for prop starting and a 6mm hex for helicopter engines. Powered from 9.6v fast-charge cells and able to handle motors up to .90 cu. in., it costs £99.99 with charger or £89.99 without. You can e-mail the supplier at motrot@aol.com

 

A good reference book can be invaluable as you develop your own experience in the model flight world. There is so much to learn initially before you can really get going and this re-release of a a long-established favourite by Adrian Vale should stand beginners in good stead - the full title says it all - Radio Controlled Model Aircraft - A Complete Guide for Absolute Beginners. It is available from Traplet Publications Ltd who also publish many of the magazines we read. Find out more from them at general@traplet.co.uk
