  • Here's an item or two from the latest catalogues, magazine advertising 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.

 

Being keen to support local endeavour, I'm pleased to bring you JB Aviation's latest creation:

The new JB Merlin - A Wizard to Fly!

Described as sleek and slim, with the lines of a 1930s racer, she is the first production design from the drawing board of Ben Ball. She's intended to be the perfect first low-winger for pilots progressing from JB Aviation's Kite trainer, and in fact is so docile and friendly she could - almost! - be used as a basic trainer herself. Like JB's SuperSport, however, the Merlin has large control surfaces and with full deflections and full power she makes a delightfully lively sports model for the more experienced pilot.

 

Tech. Spec:

Span: 63.5" 
Power: 40-46 2-stroke, 45-52 4-stroke.
Radio: 4/5 channel (5 servos), flap mixing if required. 
Configuration: Taildragger 
Weight:
5-5.5lbs 

The kit follows the JB tradition of self-jigging 100% CNC-cut fuselage components, and is quick and easy to build. The built-up wing is also a self-jigging assembly - even if you hate building wings you'll love this one, they say! The radial cowling is a high-quality glass moulding, and comprehensive hardware and graphics are included as usual.

 

JB Merlin kits are available now. Go to www.jbaviation.com to order.
