E-flite Carbon Cub SS.....in transit

The most versatile RC Ultra-Micro ever is IN TRANSIT!

The E-flite® UMX™ Carbon Cub SS is a scale model of the modern Cub Crafters light-sport aircraft and it will be available in store by the end of May 2012. Although its outline is classic in appearance, this brightly trimmed RC model is all about offering the kind of performance and versatility that's an escape from the ordinary. With the UMX Carbon Cub SS, you get the convenience to fly inside a large gym or backyard – but don't let its size fool you – its on-board AS3X® System makes this ultra micro model feel smooth and solid like a giant-scale model even outdoors in moderate wind.

 As the first ever 5-channel ultra micro plane, you get the control of flaps even if your transmitter of choice is the practical Spektrum™ DX4e. For flying at dawn or dusk, you'll appreciate the bright LED navigation lights installed on the wing. Its brushless 180-size outrunner motor provides outstanding power, for not only normal bush flying, but also plenty of thrust to haul the UMX Carbon Cub SS out of the water when you add on the optional ready-made float set (EFLUA1190). And if that kind of flying adventure isn't enough, the UMX Carbon Cub SS is also excellent as a tug for the ultra-sleek E-flite UMX ASK-21 (EFLU1280) glider, making ultra micro aerotow a reality.

Introducing the Blade 450 X Flybarless Helicopter

The phenomenal Blade® 450 X has been designed to give experienced 3D pilots the most extreme performance available in a Bind-N-Fly® 450-size platform. Central to its awesome performance is the Spektrum™ AR7200BX 7-channel DSMX® receiver with built-in BeastX™ AR7200BX flybarless control system—the most advanced flybarless technology available for high-performance 3D helicopters. This, along with features like its high-output brushless power system, hardened dampers and carbon fiber main blades, allow the Blade 450 X to achieve a level of 3D performance that practically defies physics. Get to omp.com.au right now to see the Blade 450 X in action and to learn more about its amazing Spektrum AR7200BX flybarless control system.

Introducing the NEW Blade mSR X Helicopter

The new Blade mSR X raises the bar for fixed-pitch helicopter performance with its advanced AS3X™ flybarless stabilization system. Instead of a mechanical flybar, the AS3X system uses a 3-axis, digital MEMS sensor with exclusive control software. This, along with the powerful new motor and new rotor blade design, makes the mSR X incredibly agile when flying fast, yet is stable enough to precisely hold position in a hover using very small corrections. It's a whole new level of fixed-pitch responsiveness you simply have to feel to believe. Available in Ready-To-Fly and Bind-N-Fly® Basic versions. Get to omp.com.au right now to see the Blade mSR X in action and to learn more about the difference the AS3X flybarless system will make in your flying experience.

New Product Releases -AS3X & UMX Aircraft

AS3X™ System delivers breakthrough performance for UMX™ airplanes and the freedom a pilot can use to experience RC flight that’s more enjoyable than ever dreamed possible. The Horizon Hobby world-class team of RC pilots developed the AS3X System exclusively for airplanes based on the successful use of AS3X with ultra micro flybarless helicopters.

An industry-first, AS3X technology in UMX airplanes is exciting because it helps the pilot focus more on the thrill of being the pilot of an expertly tuned airplane, rather than working to stay in smooth control. No longer will you have to deal intensely with flight complications such as turbulence, torque and tip stalls. All you feel is ultra-smooth control — even outdoors in moderate wind — so that you’re allowed to naturally experience exhilarating aircraft agility that will allow you to quickly build skills as an RC pilot.

AS3X System equipped UMX airplanes offer the RC Pilot:
-Unparalleled Stability
-Super Maneouverability
-World Class Precision
-Total Pilot Control Authority

E-flite introduces the radical AS3X System with three acclaimed airplanes that demonstrate the inspiring potential of this exclusive technology. Enhanced with the AS3X System the Beast 3D®, Hyper Taxi™, and Gee Bee® R2 UMX models are the friendliest airplanes ever offered in their class, yet are more capable and fun to fly than ever dreamed possible. Each is painstakingly tuned so that you enjoy that best flight, every flight.

Announcing the New Losi 1/14 Mini 8IGHT RC buggy!

When it comes to 1/8-scale off-road buggies, few cars have had the success of the Team Losi Racing™ 8IGHT™ buggy. We've seen the 8IGHT-platform re-imaged as the 1/10-scale TEN-T, TEN-SCTE and 810, and blown up in size for the 1/5-scale 5IVE-T, but there's one scale that the 8IGHT has never been adapted to—the sub-1/10-scale. That is, until now. Losi has taken the 8IGHT-platform and seemingly hit it with a shrink ray to create what could possibly be the best-handling, best-performing mini ever produced—the Losi® Mini-8IGHT.
Combining the exceptional suspension geometry of the 8IGHT with an all-new electric-specific drive train layout that has been optimized for brushless motors means there's a lot of new development and design that has gone into the Mini-8IGHT. The Mini-8IGHT features super-thick, threaded body, aluminum, oil-filled shocks, a slipper clutch-equipped driveline, aluminum front and rear shock towers, a powerful 4500Kv brushless motor and a refined brushless ESC to make this one super performer. You may recognize Keith Whisler as the man behind such vehicles as the XXX-SCB and Mini SCT. He's back again, this time taking on the 1/14-scale Mini-8IGHT. We quizzed Keith on the ins and outs of the Mini-8IGHT, how it handles and how it will perform on-track.
