Early Morning Flights with Steve and Tim

Steve at the OMP Offices
Steven Burgess, Queensland Account Manager has been working at Lonsdale Head Office this week while fellow Account Manager Michael is off on holiday!  Steve has taken full advantage of the pre-release models and  new product we have in the warehouse and has been out flying and racing with Timmy Gaukroger!

ParkZone Extra 300

The chase is on
The Parkzone Extra 300 was the first plane to get an outing on Wednesday- before work! Nice effort boys!  Tim was especially impressed by the overall snappy performance in all modes of flight.  Steve flew the Parkzone Extra 300, with the battery in the revised position and it performed beautifully. Take off and in the air within a few metres followed by a vertical climb.  "The landing was slow and predicable......even though I was expecting something different after reading some of the forum reports" (Steve).  Steve also had a fly of the Parkzone Ultra Micro Sukhoi SU-XP; "The version 2 with the increased throws and more powerful motor has done the job.....what a blast!"

And as for the ParkZone Wildcat - Steve only had praise for this exciting new plane: "The New F4F which has the landing gear in the up position so will need to be hand launched flies very similar to the Brushless Mustang.  Nice scale lines for those big barrel rolls and slit S’s and for those low level passes so you can admire just how good this plane looks and flies.  A Joy to fly.....fast and furious or slow and predicable."

Parkzone Stinson Reliant SR-10 (PNP or BNF) Released today!


Parkzone Stinson Reliant SR-10 (PNP or BNF) Released today!

The Stinson Reliant is as much a work of art as a work of engineering. It comes out of the box loaded with scale details like an authentic paint scheme and markings, simulated ribbing in the wings, a simulated radial engine, accurately modeled landing gear and much more. A robust Parkzone 480 brushless motor power system provides plenty of power for everything from half throttle cruising to full throttle sport aerobatics. And it will do it all with the same smooth sport flying manners you've come to expect from a Parkzone plane.

Key Features:

  • Optional Flaps installation via single servo
  • 80 Brushless Motor-Lots of power and performance
  • 5-channel control-Control and flight performance the modeler wants
  • Classic looks and performance-Vintage appeal with modern day flight performance
  • Z-foam construction-Very durable, lightweight and repairable
  • Fixed tail dragger landing gear-Allows for scale takeoffs and landings

We are lucky enough to already have our hands on a sample model of this exciting plane...check out the pics below and keep your eyes peeled for a video of one of the omp team testing it out!
