Sig Taylorcraft T-Clips 70

The "T-CLIPS" is no ordinary clipped wing Taylorcraft. Airshow pilot Erik Edgren refers to this as "Twistin It Old School". The SIG T-CLIPS 70 EG ARF is a sport scale version of Erik's striking red and black show stopper. Designed for a "60" size motor, the T-CLIPS 70 flies as good as it looks. Basic precision aerobatics are its specialty - inside and outside loops, slow rolls, point rolls, snap roll, cuban eights, spins, and inverted flight are routine for this everyday sport aerobatic airplane. 70" span and 61 2 stroke of circa 82 4 Stroke.

Black Horse Ryan STA

Yes, the photo to the left & below left is Firebrand's Blackhorse Models demo! Span 92". Beautiful pinned control surfaces. Described by Blackhorse as 120 size. We fitted a DLE30 in our demo.

116" Hangar 9 50/60cc Cub Crafters X-Cub

The full size Cub Crafters X-Cub may look like a Cub but its redesigned from the spinner back, sports a 180hp Lycoming, does 150 + MPH and climbs at 1500' per min! So is this amazing new release from Hangar 9 no ordinary Cub either! Designed starting with factory drawings, Ali Machinchy (world renowned RC jet pilot & Horizon designer) has created one of the most exciting new release models we have seen in a long while.
