The models detailed within these pages are generally designed to be flown within a controlled environment Model Aircraft Club. At the very least it's worth contacting you're local flying club when you're new to the hobby, just to get some help and hands on advice with flying you model. A full list of national flying sites and aircraft clubs can be found at www.bmfa.org.

Radio controlled Gliders do not typically have any type of propulsion, although some will come with a small electric motor system, which is used to take the model up to a suitable height to start gliding. Because most gliders are nonpowered, flight must be sustained through exploitation of the natural lift produced from thermals or wind hitting a slope. Slope soaring is another popular way of providing propulsion to gliders, using the speed of the model to create lift. Either way, with no need to recharge batteries, with the right conditions you can be flying all day. This style of model aircraft flying can be a very sedate form of flying, a great Sunday afternoon hobby, and is true Silent flight. Flying RC aircraft as a hobby has been growing worldwide with the advent of more efficient power; electric, miniature internal combustion or even jet engines plus lighter and more powerful batteries and less expensive radio systems. A wide variety of models and styles are available. We also supply radio controlled aircraft simulators, so you can hone skills before attempting a first flight or to practice aerobatics without risk of damaging the aircraft.

Ripmax ST Models ASW28 EP ARTF (ASTM010)
A semi-scale model of one of the most beautiful sailplanes flying in the world today. This model is fully moulded in crash resistant EPO foam which can be repaired using normal Cyano adhesive. Even the characteristic curved wingtips are there and contribute to its amazing low speed performance. This model will stay aloft on the merest whiff of lift and will respond positively to all elevator, aileron and rudder inputs. Climb from the perfectly matched motor and folding propeller is amazing for such a small battery and power on flight times can exceed 15 minutes. Get some lift and it could be way more!

Wingspan: 2000mm (78”) Requires 4 channel (servos ready fitted) 35Mhz Radio, and Power Set

Supplied with brushless motor, folding propeller, ESC and four servos ready fitted, all you have to do is fit your receiver and install a 1000mah 2 cell Li-Po and you are ready to go. Even the assembly of the main airframe parts can be done in less than 2 minutes and are as quick to disassemble for transport and storage.
