| > Specialist RC Aircraft > Electric Sports Models | 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.
| Electric Flight aircraft tend to have a much more conventional shape, many being scale models of the real thing, and just like their full sized counterparts these employ typically throttle, rudder and elevator controls, with some more advanced versions incorporating ailerons to give banking and aerobatic capabilities. Whilst some models are designed around traditional electric motors, many are now utilizing new brushless motor technology, allowing for greater flight times and considerably higher performance. With a suitable 12 volt charger these models can be recharged at the flying site from a car battery, allowing for a full days flying. 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. |
 | | Phase 3 Squall! EP EDF ARTF (3 Cell Version) (PH019)
The sleek, delta wing design and careful use of the fuselage allows the Squall to explore its entire speed envelope with control and stability. Even the surface finish has been optimised to enhance performance by keeping it as smooth as possible and small fairings are provided for each servo. The powerful elevons can roll the Squall at an amazing rate (aka a blurr!) and the ability to loop in its own length has to be seen to be believed. The added dimension of a rudder on the Squall opens up the possibility of some radical manoeuvres in yaw too.
Designed, constructed and styled with one aim in mind.....performance!
Wingspan: 650mm (25.5") Requires�4 channel� 35Mhz Radio (with�3 Micro Servos), and Power Set
Just when you thought there was not much more to be extracted from a 3 cell 2500mAh Li-Po, the Squall comes along and re-defines the standard. The sleek, precise, EPS foam mouldings and high quality hardware are exactly as you would expect from Phase 3 and assembly is both quick and enjoyable. Actually, a couple of hours would have it done.
Then there's the speed! The completely new fan unit, with 5 blade 64mm impeller, 3800kv outrunner motor and a new 40A ESC deliver thrust at an amazing rate and power the Squall through some of the widest loops and wingovers you can imagine. It really is that good! It is recommended that you use a 2500mAh 30C battery (Impulse or Intellect) as a minimum so that battery life is maintained when you're having that much fun. You might need more than one pack though, as the Squall is addictive!
For those that can never have enough performance and really want to challenge their pilot skills, there is an optional Vectored Thrust unit. Now that really does make things radical and requires a new set of skills and understanding of the flight envelope available.
