Hitec HS635 HB With Karbonite Gears £24.50
The HS-635BB utilizes the revolutionary “Karbonite” gear train. Karbonite is four times stronger than standard nylon gears and even after hundreds of thousands of cycles it does not show any signs of wear. With a powerful motor, and dual ball-bearing mounted output shaft, the HS-635BB offers plenty of torque and speed.
If your application requires increased speed and torque, the HS-635BB is the perfect upgrade from a standard size servo.
What is Karbonite ?
An ultra strong, high impact, composite material that is at the heart of the revolutionary new gear train. Hitec’s new KARBONITE composite gear train has eliminated lash and slop forever. They are less likely to strip under the shock and loads that would usually break standard gears

With the rising popularity of electric flight there is now a demand for a pure electric trainer and the Liberty EP fits the bill exactly. Its structure has been purpose-designed to offer the ideal combination of low weight and high strength so essential for such a model. This is the first trainer to primarily require a brushless motor and Li-Po battery as its power source. The high power of an out runner motor and the low weight of a 3-cell Li-Po battery complement it perfectly.

International Formula 1 Air Racing is one of the fastest sports in the world. These racers routinely post lap speeds around a 3 mile oval in excess of 240 mph, and have been clocked on the straights at well over 260 mph, all while flying only 35ft off the ground.
Top Gun’s new Fast Forward Pylon Racer captures the spirit of this ultimate of flying classes. Designed around an economic .40 size engine, it is a model that is within reach of any intermediate flyer looking for something fast. The FFW streamlined, aerodynamic design provides some breathtaking passes. However it is equally exciting as an aerobatic sport plane with solid tracking, quick turns and predictable landings.

To complete the model, just glue the wing halves together, install the wheels & motor, install the receiver & servos, charge the battery, and you are ready for a pre-flight check and first flight.

Included is the Ultra fly F/18/10 brushless motor, Athena-28A brushless Electronic Speed Control & a 10 x 5 electric power specific propeller. Just connect the ESC, install the propeller and your power system is ready!
Slow & Stable Flying, Ideal for beginners – The model weighs only 1.47kg (3.2lb) with a 44g/dm2 wing loading. This light wing loading contributes to the Mentor's extremely low stall speed thus helping the pilot with slow speed flying and landing approaches. The specially designed wing airfoil provides very stable flying performance. The same airfoil design will also easily fly in windy conditions. Control surfaces include Rudder, Elevator, Aileron & Front wheel for on ground steering.
The Mentor 32 is the idea trainer model as well as a great FUN Sporty Flyer!
