Next Generation Tiny Outrunners! - These new outrunners are the latest must have for indoor flying - weighing less than 13g! These C18 motors come complete with integrated prop saver, back mount set, connectors & collet adaptor meaning that you won't have to buy any extras to go with it. They are capable of flying models in the 80g-150g weight range. If used with other easily available & affordable lightweight equipment it is now possible to make high performance models that have until now been impossible to make on a budget!


NEW Robotbirds ESC's - A new range of our own ESC's that covers everything from indoor use up to large high power OPTO ESC's. There are 3 different types of Brushless ESC in the range - Basic, Plus & Pro. The Basic ESC's are exactly that - easy to use, great value for money. The Plus ESC's have an extra balance socket to monitor the voltage of each cell in your pack during flight - this prevents any cell from being overdischarged. Finally the Pro ESC's are fully programmable, lightweight and if that wasn't enough we've also thrown a programming card in with the Pro ESC's as well making them incredible value for money. The programming card is available seperately & can also be used with the Basic & Plus ESC's as well


Robotbirds 20C Lipos - A great range of high quality Lipo packs at an affordable price. The smaller packs are ideal for indoor use, whilst the larger ones will perform fantastically at the field. The smaller packs are of a slimmer shape than most traditionally shaped Lipos, and can be hidden away inside models much more easily than ever before.

Other price reductions can be found across our full product range & are permanent reductions - not all of these price changes have been highlighted, so if you haven't checked our prices for a while, now is the time to have a closer look!

The New LBA-10 NET balancer from Hyperion - this adds a few more updated features that the LBA-6 does not have. The key difference is the ability to network to another LBA-10 allowing you to balance two packs at the same time & making sure that they are balanced together - perfect for joing packs in series or parallel!
Note - some of the cables for the LBA-10 NET are NOT compatible with the LBA-6 & visa versa

More Hyperion Kits! - The new SU-31 & Cap 232 25e scale 3D aerobats from Hyperion are as always built to incredibly high standards. These larger models are an ideal size model - small enough to be easily stored & moved, yet large enough to make an impact at the field!
The Yak 54 '40e' now comes in a new 'R2' colour scheme - please ask for your choice of colour in the notes at the end of your order.

New Hyperion Kits - The Piper Cub '10e' has to be one of the most classic planes around & this model certainly does it justice!
The Super Chipmunk comes in a choice of two sizes either the 10e or the much larger 70e, both are finished to the normal high standard that we expect from Hyperion.
Something a little different is the 3D Yak 55sp Profile model, lightweight balsa construction & great covering will help it stand out at the field. Designed for maximum 3D capability - a model that will help you push your skills further!

We now have a new range of tools, covering the most useful & commonly needed tools that are needed for modeling purposes.


Yet another new motor from Hyperion! The G-22 series are a step up in power from the Z-22 series. The G-22 motors have a tapered front allowing them to typically be installed inside molded gliders etc. With a few different versions available that are suitable for sailplanes to hotliners!


The amazing range of P-1913 motors from Hyperion are now online. These a very powerful small outrunners that are designed to fit in the same space that a speed 400 motor would have been before. This makes them a great choice for fitting inside the fuselage where it was not previously possible to fit an outrunner. With several version to choose from that cover a wide range of uses, they are becoming very popular little motors!

June 2006 - We have just added a full range of glues including CA's, Epoxy & contact adhesives....perhaps the most important addition here is the hard to find UHU POR which is regarded by many as the best glue to use in assembling foam models.

Also new - We have the Blast, a new 3D profile EPP plane with eye catching colour - incredibly light for it's size!

To compliment our popular small flying wing, the Tom - the new Jerry is even smaller! Designed to fly on a small cdrom motor or Feigao 12mm brushless motor, it's bundles of fun in a tiny package!

We now carry the full range of Waypoint servos - this includes the small lightweight 3.8g servo with coreless motor all the way up to metal geared high speed, high torque standard size servos. We also have the full range of spares to compliment the range.

April 2006 - keep an eye out for great price reductions throughout our product range!

The New Hyperion Yak 54 "40e" has arrived along with the Olive & Miss America Mustangs.

Also the Miss Hyperion Hydro plane has arrived - the newest Hydro on the block designed with strength, speed and handling in mind.

We now have the Alca which has been designed exclusively for us - it is a micro EPP EDF model designed to take a GWS EDF40. It flies well on a brushed motor, but really comes alive with a Feigao micro brushless!
Available in red, white and blue, camouflage & Plain White.
