SIMPSON mentioned that he bought his new ARF from BLACKBURN MODELS, so I
thought I'd pay a virtual visit to the shop to see if I might find
anything a bit different . . . |
 .
. . and I came up with this! It's called the Muffit and looks like the
most comfy and cozy answer to those freezing-cold control sticks
on a winter's day. This British-made product is manufactured from fleece
fabric with a breathable waterproof membrane. It is 100% draft proof,
washable, ultra-light (only 100g) and soft. It is fitted with
Polar elastic cuffs and a Velcro seal for quick release and is available
in red, fluorescent orange or fluorescent purple. It certainly looks
more comfortable and less cumbersome than some of the more rigid
alternatives and is nicely priced at £19.99 for the non-window version
pictured here or £23.99 for one with a window. UK p&p £2.00. |

 Here's
something a bit different from Ripmax, too - due to appear in the shops in April
A
model from another galaxy with a completely unique shape. Alienator
offers superb flying characteristics, with its modern swept forward wing
configuration which is virtually unstallable. Incredibly stable at low
speed and yet lower the nose and the speed and aerobatic abilities will
astound. With quiet and clean electric power, long flight times are
normal, aided by the sleek, low drag design. The model is produced in
pre-coloured moulded foam, and comes 90% pre-assembled in the box, it
can be in the air within hours of purchase.
