Here's an item or two from
the latest catalogues or websites - not necessarily all new products
on the market, but items large and small that will be of
interest.
If you contact any supplier as a
result of reading this page, please be sure to mention ModelFlight.
JOHN
SIMPSON took over the manufacture and distribution of the ATS
Kite and Supersport models last May as he formed a new
company JB Aviation, and has recently launched Mk 3 of the
well-established ATS Kite trainer (Mk 3 of the Supersport is also
on the stocks). The Kite is stable, docile and easy to fly. It
comes in kit form with 100% Sequoia CNC-cut fuselage, parts and
self-jigger assembly and CNC-cut high-density foam wing, making the kit
a pleasure to build. A comprehensive instruction manual guides the
beginner through every stage of construction and covering, fitting the
engine and radio and preparing for flight. 65" wingspan, 4-channel,
·40 - ·46 2-stroke or ·45 - ·52 4-stroke, available in trike or
tail-dragger configuration and weighing 5·5 - 6 lbs, this model is a
great introduction to both building and flying and can be purchased
direct from JB Aviation at a cost of £99 + p&p. John
reckons that a model of
this quality is likely to outlast many an ARTF and a full range of
replacement parts is available. Watch out
for a review of this kit in an up-coming issue of R/C Model World.

Aviation is not only continuing the range of ATS kits, but is also
introducing a range of new models, beginning with the DH71 Tiger Moth
Racer, due out this month (June 2000). This is a near-scale model of
the DH71 which has nothing to do with the famous biplane which pinched
its name; only two examples of the monoplane were built by De Havilland
in 1927.
This kit is described as having plenty of scale character and makes
"a
cheerfully aerobatic sports model, easy enough to build to be a first
scale aircraft and friendly enough to fly to be a first low-winger" -
irresistable! The CNC precision-cut parts are all wood - no foam
or plastic in this one! The fuselage is self-jigging and the wing is
built in a jig supplied with the kit. It comes complete with
high-quality hardware, tank, wheels, spinner, etc. Details of scale
colour schemes are included and decals for all schemes are available.
60" wingspan, 4-channel, ·40 - ·46 2-stroke or ·45 - ·52
4-stroke, tail dragger, weight 5 lbs. Cost, £99 + p&p. Get
in quick and you could be amongst the first to be flying this little
beauty!
