H-King (PNF) F-18 Super Hornet 50mm 12 Blade EDF (4S) 588mm EPO w/6 Axis ORX Flight StabilizerSpecial Price $135.93 Regular Price $159.99This H-King version of this very impressive F-18 Super Hornet is manufactured in EPO foam and is beautifully finished in an authentic USAF color scheme with the decals pre-applied at the factory. The H-King F-18 has outstanding flight characteristics in its own right, it flies like it is on rails, but the pre-installed ORX 6-axis gyro takes this to another level. Pilots of all levels of experience will benefit from using the intermediate gyro setting, this really does improve stability and smoothes out the flight, especially in windy conditions. For beginners and low hours pilots, the flight stabilization system makes it even easier to fly. It utilizes a 32bit MCU for ultra-fast control response and has 3 settings, gyro off, gyro on, and training mode. In the training mode, the gyro gives full stability and also limits the amount of roll and pitch that can be used. In gyro-on mode, this gives slightly less aided stability and does not limit the roll or pitch that can be used, perfect for smooth, jet-style aerobatics. In gyro off mode, it is exactly that, no gyro at all.

H-King Yak-11 Steadfast Single-Seat 6S Racer EPO 1450mm (PNF)Special Price $341.07 Regular Price $379.00The Yak-11 was designed as an advanced trainer for use by the Soviet Air Force and came into service in 1947. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem under a long canopy that had separate sliding hoods. Although designed as a trainer, Yak-11s were also used in combat during the Korean War, and more recently, highly modified ones have been used very successfully for air racing. The Steadfast was built from scratch as an out-and-out high-performance single-seat racer in Romania in the early 2000s. It was based on the Yak-3, but essentially it looks the same as a Yak-11, so our model is based on our previous Yak-11 model.

The H-King Yak Steadfast is supplied with a power train that has been developed for pure speed. Using a 6S LiPo pack, the 5020-550KV brushless motor with the supplied 85A ESC and 16x6 prop will give it an incredible turn of speed of over 100 mph. It is very quick, and seeing a model of this impressive size doing fast pylon turns near the ground is a sight to behold. Aerobatics are also a dream to perform, the rolls are very axial, and looping maneuvers are big due to the abundance of power. The only limitations to the aerobatics it will perform are your flying skills. -

H-King (PNF) B-17 F/G Silver Flying Fortress V2 (1875mm)Special Price $336.78 Regular Price $374.99The B-17 Flying Fortress remains one of the most famous allied bombers of WW2. Although it served in every theatre of the war, it was in the European Theatre of Operations (ETO) with the renowned 8th Air Force in particular, that this sturdy and well-armed heavy bomber flew its way into the history books.
Building on the success of our original HobbyKing "Memphis Belle" model we have redesigned this huge 1875mm wingspan warbird and now bring to you the best flying and best-looking rendition of this iconic heavy bomber available anywhere in this size.
Our fantastic model is simple and fast to assemble right out of the box with all of the servos and ESCs pre-installed. It is made from EPO foam, so it's as tough as you would expect and as the one-piece wing is removable, it is also very practical to transport.
The pre-fitted electric scale wheels retract forward like the real aircraft and are large enough to tackle almost any surface. There is also plenty of power on tap from the four upgraded 850kv brushless motors. Counter-rotating props make zero torque, smooth take off's, the order of the day and with pre-fitted split flaps, landings are also stress-free.
But it's the attention to detail on this version that is impressive. Panel lines have been reduced and two new accurate scale color schemes are now available. Olive drab/grey and overall silver. These two schemes represent the vast majority of B17's that went into action and as an additional feature, we've also included a choice of two 8th Air Force decal sets for each color scheme as well as an optional chin turret so that you can create either an early "F" or later "G" variant.
As a Flying Fortress, our model also bristles with guns, with top and ball turrets as well as tail, nose, and waist gun positions. Dummy Wright Cyclone engines are finished with three-blade counter-rotating scale props and hubs and finally, working navigation & landing lights add to the overall realism level of this impressive model.
Beneath the surface, our B-17 has been beefed up with additional wing bracing and of course, she has been test flown extensively and it's in the air that this model really comes into its own.
You will be struck at how easy it is to fly, almost like a powered glider at times and even though it's more than capable of performing non-scale aerobatics including loops and rolls, it is at slower speeds that it looks every bit the heavy bomber.With its impressive wingspan, low passes translate into a real presence in the air and the sound of those four props driving it forward just adds to the experience.
Our B-17 is a scale pilot's dream model. It's a big airplane that looks great, flies beautifully, and definitely has the "wow" factor that will have heads turning wherever and whenever you fly it.

BushMaster 2 FAQ
Key information to help you choose, set up and fly the BushMaster 2.
Is the BushMaster 2 suitable as a first RC airplane?
The BushMaster 2 is better suited to pilots with some previous RC flying experience. Its large control surfaces and broad flight envelope allow everything from relaxed sport flying to STOL and 3D aerobatics, but a dedicated trainer is generally a better choice for a completely new RC pilot.
What battery does the BushMaster 2 use?
The recommended setup is a 3000–5000mAh 6S 40–60C LiPo battery with an XT90 connector. Battery position can be adjusted forward or backward to achieve the correct center of gravity.
Can the BushMaster 2 operate from grass or rough surfaces?
Yes. The oversized air-filled tires provide additional shock absorption and are designed to support takeoffs and landings on grass and other less-than-perfect flying surfaces.
What kind of STOL performance can I expect?
With the flaps fully deployed, the BushMaster 2 is designed for short takeoffs of approximately 1–2 meters. Actual takeoff distance will vary with surface conditions, wind, aircraft setup and pilot technique.
Can the wings be removed for transport?
Yes. The main wing installation procedure can be reversed to remove the wings for easier transport and storage.
How much assembly is required?
Final assembly includes installation of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, landing gear, winglets, main wings, wing struts and propeller. Foam glue is required for the specified tail assembly steps.
What is the recommended CG?
The recommended CG range is 60–70mm from the wing leading edge. The 70mm position provides more good-natured general handling, while 60mm is intended for more aggressive 3D flying.

Avios Albatross HU-16 USAF Search & Rescue RC Flying Boat PNF 1620mm$359.99Learn MoreThe Grumman HU-16 Albatross was built for missions beyond the coastline. Serving extensively with the U.S. Air Force, it searched for downed aircrews and carried rescue teams into remote waters where conventional aircraft could only circle overhead. It earned its reputation not through combat, but by helping bring people home.
For the Avios Albatross USAF , the previous U.S. Coast Guard finish gives way to the classic USAF Search and Rescue scheme. Its military grey airframe and bold yellow SAR bands recall the aircraft that flew demanding rescue missions during the Korean War and beyond, making the Albatross instantly recognizable as an aircraft with a purpose.
A lighter airframe, functional flaps and inward-rotating propellers deliver stable handling, smooth grass take-offs and impressive low passes. Twin reversing ESCs and a functional water rudder provide confident control on the water. Choose 3S for relaxed scale flying or 4S for stronger performance—then begin your next mission from land or water.
