Introducing The Pulsar 2E Ultra Lite

On By hajek

The brand new Pulsar 2E Ultra Lite has been developed as a much improved follower of very successful Pulsar 2000 M. The wing is a built-up Balsa/Ply D-box design that utilizes classic balsa ribs and spare construction. The Hand-built wing and tail parts are covered with Ultracote. Fuselage is made of gel-coated fiberglass with kevlar reinforcement. All control surfaces come fully pre-hinged with Kevlar tape. This fully built electric sailplane needs only basic assembly. Pulsar has been built to minimize weight and maximize strength. The careful use of composites combined with an underlying wood structure in the wing ensures a good light structure that will hold its shape for a long time. This synergy of low weight and strong structure is very unusual in a production sailplane and can only be achieved with careful attention to design and construction. This is extremely light competition model. We have found the Pulsar to be an excellent light lift performer.

5 Things Every Modeler Needs

On By hajek

Now that flying season is coming to a close, modelers are heading to their benches, starting their projects for next year. The million dollar question is, what will I need?  Well, we thought about this long and hard, and realized that there are many basics that one shouldn’t be without. Read on to find out what our builders deemed most important.

1. The Dremel

 One thing most molders find themselves doing a lot of is “Milling and Drilling”, and the proper tool can take this from a daunting task to a delightful project.  We find that the MultiPro Cordless Rotary tool from Dremel works wonders.  This two speed drill is great for almost any project, and coupled with the Flex Shaft Attachment, there is no place you can’t reach.  Of course, don’t forget your basic tips such as the tapered carbine cutters, a cutting wheel, your sanding drums, and replacement sanding bands.

The Beauty Of Albatros

On By hajek

Watch the Albatros soar in all its glory!

The Albatros 3S/E is one of the most beautiful combinations of classic design and modern technology. The nostalgic shape is perfectly blended with modern building techniques to create an electric sailplane that performs as well as it looks. The white gel-coated fiberglass fuselage combined with high-tech CF main spare/leading edge tube wing and carbon/balsa built up tail parts come together to make the Albatros a strong and light model. Do not be fooled by the its retro looks. This model was designed and built to be a 21st century favorite. With its flap equipped, 3 piece wing and full flying elevator the Albatros is one of the most impressive models that we have seen in quite some time. Each part is carefully handcrafted with meticulous attention to every detail. As soon as you open the box, you will find the Top Model build quality that we have come to expect.

We offer this guy in a Store Display (RX-R Ready) Model, or ARF. Check it out.
