New Items

 We are continuously adding new items to are inventory as well as new releases from are numerous vendors. Plus our On-line WEB Catalog has additional new releases.

    Blade CX and CX2- With the new Blade CX you get a completely assembled and ready to fly micro heli with a coaxial counter-rotating head design that is so stable almost any first-time flyer can be hovering like a pro in no time. The Blade CX offers things other similarly designed micro helis can’t – the power and precision of E-Flite S75 servos, an advanced 4-in-1 controller, and a great looking, lightweight body that really stands out. The Blade CX features counter-rotating main blades that cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a challenge in conventional helis. They also make rudder turns much easier by slowing down one or the other blade without affecting the stability of the aircraft. This is truly a helicopter that most anyone can fly.

Everything needed to be the neighborhood’s biggest and baddest backyard basher is provided. How can any self-respecting monster truck maven resist the Revo? There’s no other monster truck quite like it.

Pilots can experience extreme flying with E-flite’s new Ultimate EP 3D Profile ARF, certain to satisfy aspiring aerobatic enthusiasts and seasoned 3D experts alike. Developed by aerodynamicist and eTOC champion George Hicks using the most advanced aerospace tools available, the Ultimate’s lightweight, precision laser cut, flat foam design and E-flite’s specially designed 370 motor, gearbox and propeller ensure an amazing array of aerobatic and 3D maneuvers, including hovers, torque rolls, harriers, elevators, rolling circles and more.

  She’s one of the fastest, most beautiful and certainly most recognizable airplanes in the world. Since 1966, Miss America has traveled all over the United States, serving as a symbol of freedom and liberty while capturing such aeronautic honors as Reno Air Racing champion and National Unlimited Class champion.

Now Hangar 9® presents one of the world’s most famous aircraft as a .60-size scale ARF. The latest addition to Hangar 9’s popular P-51D Mustang series is the P-51D Miss America 60 ARF, which comes complete with an authentic red, white and blue UltraCote® trim scheme and preinstalled retractable landing gear

For instance, the light wing loading and oversized control surfaces allow for incredible 3D maneuvers. From hovers to harriers, knife-edge loops to climbing flat spins, the Twist can handle just about any aerobatic maneuver thrown its direction. Using a Saito™ .72, the Twist can run tight ten-foot loops and—unlike some fun-fly planes—full-throttle high-speed runs. It’ll hover and torque-roll down to head high. On low rates with low power settings, the Twist demonstrates stable slow-speed characteristics and very gentle stalls.

For convenient storage and transport to the flying field, the wing removes quickly and easily. The tail-mounted servos offer short and stiff linkages. And the Twist can easily be adapted to electric power, using a Hacker brushless motor and the enclosed installation instructions.

  Sunrise 24" RTR Sailboat

Unlike power boating, which involves the simple application of physics, sailing is a stimulating blend of both science and art. You must read the wind and adjust your course to get where you want to go. The thrill comes from watching your plan come together as your boat silently and gracefully carves a wake across the pond. In the past, in order to enjoy a sleek fiberglass R/C sailboat, you had to build. A painstaking process involving lots of sanding, painting, and hours of rigging work. With ProBoat's new Sunrise 24" ready-to-run sailboat, anyone can be the captain of a beautifully painted fiberglass ship in a fraction of the time it would take to build one from a kit for just a few dollars more than a lower-quality plastic RTR.

Easy Breezy Assembly

The RTR version comes with JR's Beat Gear two-stick system and two Z250 servos installed. An almost-ready-to-run version is available without radio and servos, for those who may have a spare surface system lying around. No special sail servo is required. The rigging is designed to work with standard servos instead. The mast and sail booms are made of sturdy anodized aluminum and adds a nice scale touch to the boat's appearance.

Both versions require some minor finishing assembly that basically involves finishing the rigging of the sails and attaching the rudder. Even if you've never built a sailboat before, a nautical novice could have the Sunrise RTR ready to sail in less than an hour. The rigging of the sails, traditionally a rather daunting task for beginners, is streamlined with the Sunrise, thanks to a wonderfully illustrative manual and labeled rigging lines. Simply match the labeled rigging lines with the corresponding labels on the hull and booms. The manual also features a glossary of sailing terms and an introduction on how to sail in different directions relative to the wind.

An upgrade of the revolutionary original Triton charger! 

Great for a huge variety of battery types (NiCd, NiMH, LiPo and Li-Ion, and lead-acid), and applications such as electric airplane and heli batteries, Tx and Rx batteries, car and boat batteries, field batteries, and more. Triton2 adds upgraded features to the design of the revolutionary original Triton charger, famous for its high performance, versatility, and rugged durability. Charge current is increased to 7A. The custom LCD now includes a blue backlight for easy viewing. T2 can handle LiPo packs with up to 5 cells in series. The input cord has installed banana plugs, and large attachable alligator clips are included. The modified programming dial is easier to control. And a slight programming change, plus a totally recreated instruction manual for ease of use and understanding

  Hanger 9 new 60 size AT-6 Texan with retracts ARF. 

Hangar 9’s one-of-a-kind AT-6 ARF is a skillfully crafted rendition of a full-scale Texan owned by Fred Johnson of Ocala, FL named Miss Appropriation of Funds. This plane has thrilled thousands at the world famous Reno Air Races and currently thrills thousands more at air shows across the country as part of a 3-plane precision aerobatics team. Like its full-scale inspiration, the Hangar 9 Texan is also a stunning performer that is great for sport aerobatics, club pylon racing, or just buzzing around the pattern. Scale details abound, like the factory painted fiberglass cowl, factory installed retracts with gear doors, and even a mock radial engine. The authentic trim scheme is reproduced in painstaking detail using genuine Hangar 9 Ultracote.

No other .60 size Texan ARF offers this level of scale realism and fantastic flight characteristics.

Hanger 9 new Funtana 3D. 

The new Funtana S .40 3D ARF was designed exclusively for Hangar 9® by one of Europe’s most famous 3D pilots, Sebastiano Silvestri. Silvestri is an expert in F3A, a freestyle master and a world-class Tournament of Champions competitor that has amazed audiences all over the world. He based the Funtana S on his highly successful Katana S TOC design. The result is a budget-friendly .40-size airplane with unlimited IMAC performance.

The Funtana can do it all: harriers, torque rolls, blenders, rolling circles and almost anything else you can dream up. It’s all possible thanks to an extremely lightweight, all-wood airframe and big control surfaces that give the Funtana a very impressive thrust to weight ratio and crisp control authority at any airspeed. An attractive UltraCote® trim scheme and factory-painted parts such as the cowl and wheel pants complement the performance perfectly.

  The T-Maxx nitroPower comes from the all-new TRX 2.5 Racing Engine from TRAXAS and the new 3.3 engine. The E-Maxx is the electric truck version. The new Sports Maxx is the 2W drive version.

    Hitec Neon 3 Channel single stick airborne radio on FM, this radio features NiCad batteries/ charger 04MG RX and small S55 servos.

HobbyZone's Firebird line of ready-to-fly airplanes, equipped with the easy-to-master Flight-Trak control system, has introduced thousands to the world of radio control flying. But the new 3-channel Aerobird takes instant RC fun to the next level. The Aerobird's third channel for pitch (elevator) control adds greater maneuverability and allows aerobatics like loops, tail slides and stall turns. Not recommended for first-timers, the Aerobird is the perfect step up for any pilot experienced in flying the Firebird or any other 2-channel airplane. The Aerobird allows these pilots to try their hand at exciting new maneuvers, paving the way to make the transition to more complex 4-channel or greater planes. For those who already fly RC airplanes with 3 or more channels, the Aerobird is a fantastic way to get a flying fix just about anywhere, anytime. At a park or at the local flying club, the Aerobird is instant flying gratification.

As with all HobbyZone® airplanes, the Aerobird can be assembled and flying in less than 15 minutes. Everything needed to get flying is included: a 3-channel transmitter, rechargeable battery pack, variable-rate DC peak detection charger with auto-plug adapter, and an easy-to-follow manual and instruction video. HobbyZone even includes the 8 AA batteries needed for the transmitter. There is literally nothing else to buy.

  Soarstar Park Flyer Slalom through the trees, buzz the duck pond or do touch 'n' goes on the picnic table. With the new Soarstar from SFM, flying outdoors in light winds is a piece of cake. A true park flyer, you'll be impressed with how it handles breezy conditions. But even more impressive is the fact that the Soarstar is a complete package- with motor, gear drive, prop, speed control, 9.6 volt 600mAh Sanyo Battery, and fast charger included! All you need are two micro servos and a micro receiver (JR's AirPac Micro is perfect), and a three or more channel radio. The high-impact foam, easy-to-build Soarstar has a 36" wingspan and weighs just 20 oz.

Undoubtedly, World War II's most colorful Marine Corps ace was Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, whose hard-drinking, hard-living "Black Sheep Squadron" fought their way to fame in less than three months, piling up a record 197 planes destroyed or damaged, troop transports and supply ships sunk, and ground installations destroyed.

Pappy's plane was the formidable F4U Corsair with its unique bent wing, the result of a marriage between the most powerful engine ever installed in a piston-engined fighter and one of the world's biggest propellers. The new GWS semi-scale F4U Corsair ARF offers stable flight characteristics and a powerful gear-driven EPS300C motor system to provide plenty of outdoor aerobatic action. It's easy to put together too. Just a couple of evenings are all you'll need to assemble this prepainted, all-injected molded foam aircraft.

REAL FLIGHT R/C Flight Simulator

DX6 new on The first full-range 2.4GHz system for Parflyer's is here Spektrum’s DX6 2.4GHz 6-channel programmable system featuring DSM.

  You’ll say goodbye to channel concerns at RC sites. Glitching and range impairment from motor, servo, ESC and mechanical RF “noise” will be a thing of the past. And no form of channel selection will be necessary on your part.

Whether you're a parkflyer, foamie or micro-heli fan, you can fly with the no-pins, no-crystals, no-glitches, no-interference freedom and security of 2.4GHz Spektrum DSM* technology.

Your DX6 selects the channel for you.

When you fire up your DX6, it searches for, selects and locks onto clear channels. (There are 80 channels in the 2.4GHz band.) And because international regulation of the band is very strict, your radio will neither sustain interference from – nor cause interference to – any other 2.4GHz device worldwide**. And that applies, of course, to its simultaneous operation near other 2.4GHz RC radios as well.

Your DX6 will be welcome at established RC fields, too.

DX6 frequencies are so much higher than those of conventional RC channels that you radio won’t even recognize the existence of 27,50 and 72MHz RC signals. Nor will conventional RC receivers “hear” your DX6 transmissions.

In short, 2.4GHz DSM RC is a win-win deal for everyone!

Spektrum’s 2.4GHz surface radio equipment has already taken the RC car racing world by storm. It’s working great and the podiums already contain racers using DSM technology. Planes and helis, however, present a constantly changing “target” for reliable RF link.
So Spektrum solved this transmitter-to-receiver orientation challenge with an innovative 2-in-1 receiver configuration that delivers an extremely robust RF link and extraordinarily secure flying. It’s a solution so unique a patent’s been applied for.

The tiny receiver with big-time performance. 

The DX6’s AR6000 receiver is specifically designed for lightweight, electric powered planes and helis. Better yet, it’ll deliver reliable range exceeding that of any other receiver sold specifically for parkflyers. 

So how’s the transmitter?

First off, the hardware quality is tops. The DX6’s sticks are precise and silky-smooth. Plus its ergonomics are as good as it gets. It boasts 3 programmable mixes, rates and expo for aileron and elevator, it’s loaded with programmable heli features – including a flight mode switch and CCPM capability – and it features memory for 10 models, plus fail-safe.

DX7 new on The first full-range 2.4GHz system for all types of aircraft is here Spektrum’s DX7 2.4GHz 7-channel programmable system featuring DSM2.
With the DX7 you’ll be able to fly anything from micro electric helis, to big gas-powered IMAC planes without regard to frequencies and free from fear of interference. Calling this kind of thing “revolutionary”  just doesn’t cut it. It is nothing less than a quantum leap in RC technology that will change how you fly forever. Never again will the availability of a frequency pin dictate when you can take off. Never again will you have to ask, “What channel are you on?” Never again will your flying experience be interrupted by model-generated RF noise, interference from commercial broadcast towers, or anyone on another RC system.

The big difference with DSM2 is that it not only flies any size model with absolute precision and complete freedom from interference, but it also processes its signal faster than any high-end 72MHz PCM system.

NEW HANGER9 ALPHA TRAINER

Learning to fly a radio control airplane is one of the most exciting and rewarding challenges you can undertake. It's a hobby you can enjoy for a lifetime and will open doors to new experiences and friends you might have never known otherwise. This is why success during your first few flights is so important. It lays the groundwork for a lifetime of enjoyment. With the ready-to-fly Alpha Trainer from Hangar 9®, your success is all but assured, thanks to its gentle, beginner-friendly flight characteristics and an ingenious Evolution Trainer Power System™ that makes the Alpha the easiest-starting, smoothest-running trainer available.

Start with Success

A successful first flight doesn't start until the engine does. Yet many ready-to-fly trainers that claim to be for beginners come equipped with engines that demand a level of experience most beginners don't have. This is the magic of the Hangar 9 Alpha's extraordinary Evolution Trainer Power System. Every Evolution system's engine is test run and tuned at the factory so a novice can easily get the Alpha flying right out of the box. No break-in period. No tedious trial-and-error with the carburetor settings. Just fuel it up and, with a few flips of the prop, you're flying.


The Power of the Prop

No matter how gentle a ready-to-fly trainer's flight characteristics, learning to manage speed and power is one of the biggest challenges for a beginner. The Evolution system uses a specially designed, three-bladed prop that provides superb climb performance and slower level-flight speeds at high power settings. It's a lot quieter too-nearly 4db quieter than a typical 10 x 6 two-bladed prop. What it all adds up to is a trainer that reduces the beginner's workload by letting him focus more on flying and less on managing the throttle.

Staying in Tune

Nothing can rattle the nerves when you're learning to fly like losing the engine in-flight because you can't seem to find the right carburetor setting. That's why the Evolution system uses a unique crankshaft flywheel that helps keep the engine running at low throttle settings by preserving crankshaft momentum. The carburetor settings are also limited to prevent relatively new pilots from making tuning mistakes.

Easy Does It

The Alpha comes out of the box completely built and covered with Hangar 9 UltraCote®. Everything from the power system to radio control equipment is installed. What little assembly is left can be accomplished in minutes using the easy-to-follow manual. Once airborne, you'll be treated to the Alpha's gentle self-righting flight characteristics that make it easy to master the basics as well as recover from "sticky" situations.

Quality Control

The Alpha is equipped with a sophisticated J-Line™ Quattro radio control system that was designed by JR-the leader in quality R/C technology. The receiver, rechargeable receiver battery pack and all the servos for moving the controls are installed for you. The Quattro transmitter included with the system is easy to operate and provides smooth precise control. In fact, you can use it with other sport airplanes after you learn to fly the Alpha.

The world of radio-controlled flight offers all kinds of adventures. If you're someone who's looking to begin the quest for adventure with a plane of your own, you've got a lot to look forward to. Start with success. Start with the Alpha Trainer from Hangar 9.

HANGER ARROW RTF / ARF

The Arrow provides the perfect balance of stability and maneuverability that makes learning to fly easy, but leaves enough performance for more advanced maneuvers later on. Hangar 9® now offers the Arrow in an ARF version that lets modelers choose their engine and radio. It features the same top-quality UltraCote® trim scheme and balsa/ply construction of the RTF version.
