Pair Your Favorite Top Model Airplane with an Axi Motor!

On By hajek

Couple the beautiful craftsmanship of the Top Model name with the efficiency and power of an AXi!

We have looked high and low for the best motors to place in our in-house builds, but now the search is over. We have compared performance between several manufacturers and AXi hit every requirement. When you look at any of our Top Model aircraft, you will see our suggested setup for the ultimate experience there on the page. The best part is we can find an AXi motor for a very wide range of setups! Make it one step easier (and save some doe) with our AXi Power Packages. These packages are already prepared based on wing size or watt range and contain everything you need.

Here are some of our favorite combinations:

The Samsara White 3.2 Electric Sailplane

Suggested Equipment:

  • AXi Cyclone 46/760
  • Jeti Advance 70 Pro SB ESC
  • 3300 3S battery

Ladies and Gents, Steven Has Arrived!

On By hajek

Steven, the RC Skydiver by Opale has officially landed!

Taking full advantage of the latest innovations issued from the development of our RC paramotor models and the partnership with the European champions of this RC discipline, the Skydiver Steven as a unique design allowing to push the boundaries of the RC Skydiving leading to better performances.

Thanks to the composite materials and a thoroughly and optimized assembly, the weight in order to fly of the skydiver (including the parachute), is only 1100gr. This low weight allows you to perform smooth and extremely accurate landings. But you can also easily weigh it down during strong weather conditions. The legs are cleverly assembled with silent blocks to absorb the shocks of (most) landings, and providing also different positions of the legs during free falls or when the parachute is deployed. These possibilities enable an extreme steadiness during free falls and was verified during wind-tunnel tests.

Two colors, Blue and Orange, are offered when choosing your Skydiver.

Features:

  •  Low Sinkrate
  • High speed
  • A-line Control
  • Ease of Use
  • Backwards Flying

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 1.65m
  • Flat Area: 1.5m^2
  • Length: 45cm
  • Empty Mass: 850g
  • Materials: Glass Fiber; Polyurethane resin and foam; PU Nylon; Stainless Steel;  Aluminum

Top Model is Almost Here!

On By hajek

Our Top Model shipment is almost here! Check out another great model you will see arriving – The Indian V.

Top Model describes the Indian V as a “Performance electric sailplane for sports and (competition) flying.”

This V-Tail model offers a thin wing airfoil and a lightweight frame. Its large wing area allows for calm and steady gliding. For easy transportation and storage the wing breaks down into two pieces. Internally the wing is designed using a balsa D-box framework. With the large fiberglass fuselage, there is plenty of space for all your components to fir nicely.  The beautiful carbon fiber tail boom matches nice to its fiberglass fuselage. Control surfaces include ailerons, flaps, and tail. (5 Channels)

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 1960mm
  • Length: 1095
  • Weight: 650 – 750g
  • Wing Area: 32dm^2
  • Wing Loading: 20.3 – 23.5g/dm^2
  • Airfoil: MH32

REX Assist w/ Satellite Receivers and Central Box

On By hajek

We have gotten several questions regarding the Jeti REX Assist receivers and how to set them up if you are using multiple receivers or a central box. It seemed as something worth addressing. Take a read at this article that Jeti Model posted.

If you plan to use the REX Assist receiver in combination with any additional receiver or Central Box, this article provides you several possibilities of how to connect and set up the devices.

Satellite Receiver Connection:

A satellite receiver (such as R3/RSW) can be connected to the E1 or E2 port on the REX A receiver. In this case, REX A acts as the main receiver with activated flight stabilization and R3/RSW is used as a backup in case signal loss occurs. You can additionally use the Double Path mode in your transmitter.

REX A settings:

Fail-Safe Fail-Safe type Output period E1 E2 Stabilize EX Bus
Enabled Intelligent 7-20ms PPM Input E.g.  Sensor NO

R3/RSW settings:

Fail-Safe Output period Output type Receiver mode PPM mode
Disabled Auto PPM positive Normal Direct

Central Box Connection:

The REX A receivers are able to generate the EX Bus serial output with up to 16 stabilized servo channels. This stabilized output can be used for airplane models equipped with a Central Box.

REX A settings:

Fail-Safe Fail-Safe type Output period E1 E2 Stabilize EX Bus
Enabled Intelligent 7-20ms PPM Input EX Bus YES

R3/RSW or R3 REX 900 * Settings:

Fail-Safe Output period Output type Receiver mode PPM mode
Disabled Auto PPM positive Normal Direct

* The R3 REX 900 (or anything connected to the Rx2 port of Central Box) is only a supplementary device. The Central Box should never switch to this backup receiver while the REX A is functioning correctly. REX A stabilizes the EX Bus output always, even if it does not have signal from the transmitter.

New From Top Model – The Still Racer

On By hajek

The Still Racer is a great little machine to enjoy fast flying. The airfoil used, as well as the concepts applied, give the model excellent flight characteristics and high performance. Thanks to an aerodynamically clean air-frame the model has a surprising shallow glide-slope. The Still racer has a carbon-reinforced fiberglass fuselage, polystyrene/balsa wing, structural elevator with carbon spar and leading edge and therefore is agile and break-resistant enough to be capable of aerobatics, and best part is it will be here soon!

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 1000mm
  • Length: 700mm
  • Flying Weight: 0,65-0,75kg
  • Wing Area: 13,4g/dm2
  • Wing Loading: 48,5-56,0g/dm2
  • Airfoil: Special
