Avions

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".

L'Avios Albatross HU-16 est un magnifique hydravion bimoteur avec un grand monocoque et des flotteurs d'ailes, tout le dessous de la partie avant de la coque est renforcé de plastique. Cela lui permet de prendre avec plaisir les coups et les coups de l'utilisation d'un aérodrome en herbe pour voler, mais comme mentionné précédemment, il prend tout son sens lorsqu'il fonctionne à partir de votre lac ou voie navigable préféré. Le roulage et l'alignement pour le décollage sont rendus beaucoup plus faciles avec le gouvernail à eau et les ESC résistants à l'eau avant/arrière Aerostar fournis. Les volets intégrés offrent beaucoup de portance et rendent les atterrissages et les décollages beaucoup plus faciles et extrêmement évolutifs.

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.
