Losi 1/16 Mini ReadyLift SCT
ETA – Late september

Losi’s new Mini SCT has it all, and more! This truck is a 2WD mini with an Xcelorin brushless power system, extended short course chassis and oil filled shocks. It is ready to take on the competitors.  Not only does this mini 1/16 truck have a Losi receiver with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology, but it also has a Sean Geiser ReadyLift licensed body with sponsor decals. And for a mini, good ground clearance is a must. Losi teamed up with Geiser to bring hobbyists this scale replica of the ReadyLift truck from the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

This 1/16 ReadyLift Mini SCT sports brushless power in a package providing incredible control and handling. Some of the perks include an Xcelorin 4500Kv motor, all metal gear transmission, and a Spektrum 2.4 GHz DSM receiver.

PKZ5280 Stinson Reliant SR-10 BNF and PKZ5275 Stinson Reliant SR-10 PNP
ETA of September 2010

The Stinson SR-10, first introduced in 1938, is as much a work of art as a work of engineering. The combination of its graceful lines and unique wing shape give the sense that it’s reaching for the sky even when parked on the ramp.

ParkZone has expertly modeled this aviation classic to give a civilian scale experience unlike anything else. It is out of the box loaded with scale details such as an authentic paint scheme and markings, molded ribbing in the wings, accurately modeled landing gear, a simulated radial engine and more. A robust ParkZone 480 brushless motor provides plenty of power for everything from half throttle cruising to full throttle sport aerobatics. Flaps can also be added as an option. It does it all with the same smooth sport flying ParkZone manner.

Stinson Reliant Features:

• Ready to fly in minutes with full 4 channel control: throttle, aileron, rudder and elevator
• 3S 11.1V 1800mAh LiPo battery and balancing charger included
• Spektrum DSM2 full range sport receiver and Powerful 480 960Kv brushless outrunner motor
• Hardware and molded servo pocket for easy flap installation
• Dual aileron servos installed
• Durable and lightweight Z Foam construction
• Requires a full range DSM2 aircraft transmitter

Unfortunately, it was a wet and rainy spring here in Wisconsin. This has caused the local RC airplane field to be completely drenched and under water. Therefore, the RAMS annual Fly In has to be postponed and September 4th is the new scheduled date.

Anyone planning to attend this weekend should change their plans for September 4th instead of July 10th. More information and the Fly In details will be posted when known. There may be some general flying this weekend if weather permits, but September will be the fun-fly event.
