Planes - Help and Advice
These products split between toys and models for the adult enthusiast. We have added the word TOY or MODEL to the heading of each item to help differentiate. We do not consider any RC aircraft suitable for under 12's, and even at that age the child should be supervised, since accidents can occur. Note that we do not sell wooden fuselage aircraft due to safety issues - all our planes are of polystyrene and plastic construction for safety.

All models are supplied on either 27Mhz or 40Mhz - it is imperative (particularly with aircraft) that you check that there is no one operating on the same frequency band as yourself before you start to use the toy or model.

Items below that are shown as In Stock can be on the truck tomorrow!

Tamiya 56403 Alt Stream	Self Assembly Kit It's a Tamiya Radio Controlled Plane!
Click picture for larger view.	Tamiya's aviation series of flying models have been designed for ease of assembly and outstanding flight performance. The model has been made incorporating state of the art aerodynamics and aeronautics to provide the very best for the scale aviation modeller. In order to obtain excellent manoeuvrability during thermal soaring and slope soaring, the Alt Stream is controlled by it's rudder, elevator and ailerons. These vital control surfaces are connected to the servos via cables, enabling crisp response to the transmitter inputs without play or delay. Length (tip to tail): 1030mm Wingspan: 2000mm (yes, 2 metres!) Wing Area: 35.6dm2 Stabiliser Area: 5.2dm2 Weight Fully Equipped approx 1200g FOR FLIGHT IN THE UK THIS ITEM IDEALLY REQUIRES A 4 CHANNEL, 4 SERVO RADIO ON 35MHZ AIRCRAFT BAND. Or a 2 channel with mixers, or possibly a 6 channel. There are several options, all explained in the comprehensive manual - we can supply whatever you need to special order, but we recommend that you purchase the plane and study the instructions first to decide how you're going to set it up. Notes from the spanner man: I've looked very closely at this kit - it's a really high grade model item - the wings are made from wood formers with a plastic covering, the fuselage is a light but strong looking plastic moulding and the quality/finish far exceeds most other aircraft I've seen before. Looks to be a lot more substantial than the foam wing RTF models, for example. Instructions are comprehensive, but there is far more to assembling this kit than first meets the eye - you need to spend some time fine tuning positioning of weights etc to get it perfectly balanced, and there is some gluing involved (i.e. proper modelling - not just screw A to B). A good many evenings project. Note: Spare parts available to special order only which may take a significant time and would be priced proportionally to the kit. E.g. the wing comprises around half the kit.
