Avios continues to bring you great flying, and high-quality RC models of interesting subjects, this theme continues with the Avios Twin Otter STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) twin-engine plane. The Avios model captures the looks and great flying characteristics of the full-size inspired Twin Otter. The impressive power-to-weight ratio and light wing loading makes for exceptional low-speed handling and STOL flight characteristics.

The Avios Twin Otter is also crammed full of outstanding features, these include a set of large barn door style flaps, counter-rotating props for improved handling, scale outline with detailed surface finish, and scale plastic parts. Other features include a fully sprung, all metal CNC nose strut with servo saver, low bounce soft foam oversized bush wheels, and day bright LED lights throughout.

The list of outstanding features goes on with a set of floats included, these are easily fitted in place of the tricycle landing gear so that you can have even more fun flying from lakes and rivers. The included Aerostar RVS speed controllers make flying from water on the floats so much easier, they allow you to maneuver and taxi even in the more challenging conditions and situations that can be found on inland waters. To further help when flying with the floats fitted are a pair of optional tail fins, these increase the yaw stability caused by the extra drag of the floats. Avios have also included two magnetically held interchangeable nose sections, one short to emulate the "Series 100" Twin Otter, and one long so that you can quickly change the look of your Twin Otter to a "Series 200".

The Avios Tundra series of STOL sports planes has enjoyed a massive following over the years, and rightfully so, as it has been one of the best flying RC foam planes ever designed. They have an impressive flight envelope with an amazing STOL performance, and all this is coupled with a great-looking plane. The original 1300mm Tundra was followed sometime later with the launch of the 1700mm Grand Tundra, which encompassed all your favorite features but on a larger scale. This was then followed by the Grand Tundra Plus version, which kept all the original features but had improved wing servo connectors to give a stronger and more reliable connection.

We now take yet another leap forward to the 1700mm Grand Tundra 2. Like all things that evolve, there are areas that, over time, could do with a slight improvement. So, after listening to our customers and pilots, and from our own experiences, the GT2 was born, and it is better than ever. It is now a 6S setup as standard, the tail wheel has been redesigned and strengthened, the main tundra wheels have pneumatic rubber tires, it has a removable plywood battery tray with spring-loaded latch (for quick battery changes), hex-head screws all round, and a new profile, more efficient glass-filled nylon 15x8 propeller. The look of the GT2 has also changed; it has a new, striking design in the popular green and silver color scheme.

Die Tundra hat im Laufe der Jahre einen massiven Kult in der RC-Community hinter sich, da sie mit ihrer beeindruckenden Flughülle leicht zu den besten fliegenden Flugzeugen mit elektrischer Funksteuerung auf dem Markt zählt. Einige Zeit später folgte die Einführung der Grand Tundra, die alle Ihre Lieblingsfunktionen umfasste, jedoch in größerem Maßstab. Die Grand Tundra Plus behält 99% der Funktionen der Originalversion bei. Die einzige Änderung, die vorgenommen wurde, sind die Flügelservoanschlüsse. Diese haben ein neues Design, um eine stärkere und zuverlässigere Verbindung zu ermöglichen.

Der Avios Albatross HU-16 ist ein wunderschönes zweimotoriges Flugboot mit einem großen Einrumpf und Flügelschwimmern, die gesamte Unterseite des vorderen Teils des Rumpfes ist mit Kunststoff verstärkt. Dadurch kann es die Stöße und Schläge eines Grasflugplatzes problemlos wegstecken, aber wie bereits erwähnt, kommt es erst richtig zur Geltung, wenn Sie von Ihrem Lieblingssee oder einer Wasserstraße aus fliegen. Mit dem Wasserruder und den mitgelieferten wasserfesten Vorwärts-/Rückwärts-ESCs von Aerostar wird das Taxifliegen und das Aufstellen für den Start sehr viel einfacher. Eingebaute Klappen sorgen für reichlich Auftrieb und machen die Landungen und Starts so viel einfacher und extrem maßstabsgetreu.

Avios has excelled yet again in bringing you another interesting and high-quality RC model, the Avios PBY Catalina. Avios are at the forefront of water plane technology; they have produced more types than any other manufacturer in this class of model. The Avios model captures the looks and great flying characteristics of the full-size plane with this stand-off scale model of the iconic World War II flying boat. The Catalina was one of the most widely used flying boats of the 2nd World War. It served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces, and the Avios version depicts a Catalina in the stunning US Coast Guard scheme of the early 1940s era.
