AXE 100 CP: FULLY AEROBATIC FLIGHT INDOORS OR OUTFLIGHT INDOORS OR OUTTransmitter-Ready: the ultimate in fl exibility

Heli-Max has already installed the ideal on-board equipment for the Axe 100 Tx-R versions, including an SLT receiver compatible with AnyLink. Simply add your transmitter, the AnyLink adapter and you’re good to go!

™

Total heli control — to the 3rd power!

TAGs goes far beyond a single-axis gyro, giving stability to the yaw, roll and pitch axes. That means you can fl y your Axe 100 heli with confi dence, knowing that external forces will not adversely affect its performance. It’s heli stabilization taken to the next level — once you’ve experienced TAGs, you won’t ever want to fl y without it!

™

The fl ybarless head offers a wider fl ight envelope, with a low parts count that makes it more durable and more effi cient than a fl ybar design.

With a complete outer case to protect them the micro servos are more durable, and are easy to replace if you ever need to.

Easy starts, more power and more fl ights from

your fuel budget are three great reasons to bolt

the GT22 in your .90-1.20 plane!

From the Experts: Investing in gasoline power for your airplane model quickly pays for itself — especially if you’re installing the GT22. Unlike most gas engines the GT22 is beam-mounted, so it fi ts inside more cowls. The Walbro carb is custom-designed, and includes a time-saving, integrated choke rod guide. Electronic ignition turns the engine over quickly and easily, and you’ll enjoy more torque than comparably sized gas engines.

Long story short...

MORE POWER AND GREATER EFFICIENCY FOR .90-1.20 AIRCRAFT.GT22 Gasoline Engine ❚ Produces nearly 10% more power than other

similarly-sized 2-stroke gas engines

❚ The electronic ignition system accepts NiCd, NiMH, LiFe or LiPo batteries

❚ Utilizes the same beam mounting as most glow engines, allowing the GT22 to go in many aircraft designed for 1.2 cu. in. glow engines

❚ Comes with a rear-mounted Walbro carb designed especially for the GT22

1/25 SCALE 1950 OLDSMOBILE® CLUB COUPE 2’n1Vintage American icon.

Designers at Oldsmobile intentionally overpowered the ‘50 Club Coupe by dropping a V8 engine into a formerly V6 driven chassis. The resulting fast, light racer won 10 of the 19 NASCAR competitions in 1950. Versions of this popular car stayed in production until 1999. This kit features molded white and clear resin with chrome detailing and has soft tires, rear fender skirts, chrome trim rings, whitewall tires, and decals with factory stock markings. Frame comes separate from stock car racer interior for easy customization before installation.RMXS4254 Total Parts: 135 Skill Level: 2 Length: 8 in (203 mm)

1/25 SCALE ‘68 PONTIAC® FIREBIRD® 400 RAM AIRRun red hot.

This Pontiac Firebird is so hot it might just melt every other model off your shelf. Engineers at Pontiac designed a car with a 340 horsepower 6.6L V-8, then added inset hood scoops and extra air intakes on the engine so it would take longer to top out its rpm. This kit features molded white, red and clear resin with chrome detailing, soft black tires, Pontiac 400 c.i. Ram Air engine plus optional race engine parts, interior and authentic design graphics.

1/25 SCALE ‘69 DODGE® CHARGER DAYTONABuilt for speed and performance.

Dodge built the Charger Daytona with racing in mind. The original Chargers were already muscle cars but the engineers wanted something extra to make the Daytona a race winner. A nose-cap grill-cover made the car more aerodynamic, an added rear wing improved the car’s stability and a 440 Magnum engine ramped up its speed capabilities. Kit features are molded white, clear and red resin with chrome detailing and soft black tires, detailed 440 Magnum engine, aerodynamic nose with photo-etched grill insert and authentic factory-stock detailing decals.


1/48 SCALE MARINE UH-34D HELICOPTERGet me a HUS!

The simple, versatile and dependable UH-34D Seahorse was a favorite with the U.S. Marine Corps throughout the Vietnam War. A lot was asked of the copter, including retrieval of Mercury space capsules. Sadly, when Gus Grissom’s Liberty Bell 7 capsule fi lled with water it was too heavy for the Seahorse and the capsule was lost. Kit featuresare modeled in light gray and clear resin with a detailed cockpit, interior, recessed panel lines and underside winch. Decals include: U.S. Marine Corps UH-34D, 148765, “HUNT CLUB 1” and U.S. Marine Corps UH-34D, 148772.

A 400 horsepower aluminum-alloy V-10 engine shoots from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds, with a 164 mph (264 km) top speed – that is power. When Chrysler® built the fi rst RT/10 Vipers they left out all the superfl uous items most cars carry, like windows and roofs, and focused on what was important, the engine. This scale model kit featuresthe original Vipers in red, white, and transparent resin with chrome detailing.

Airfi x® 1/72 Scale Supermarine Spitfi re F Mk. 22England’s fi nest propeller fi ghter.Throughout WWII continuous upgrades were made to the Spitfi re. One upgrade —2,200 horsepower engines— resulted in speeds the body frame and ailerons could not withstand.

However, nothing could stop the obsolescence of the Spitfi re after jet fi ghters were introduced. Kit features decal options to let you designate the model as being tasked to the City of Edinburgh or the County of Durham.
