Modelflight visits Clovelly Park Primary School

Jamie Nancarrow and Brian Locket from Modelflight attended Clovelly Park Primary School today to give some very enthusiastic young faces from class G5 a better understanding on the basic theories and history of flight. So far, the class has been learning about different styles of flying machines and had even built kites the previous week to fly. Sam Kennedy, G5's teacher, managed to control the in-class enthusiasm long enough for the students to learn about Lift, Thrust, Drag and Gravity, and get some hands on experience with the E-Flite Habu Jet, Parkzone Bf-109 and ParkZone Radian. 

After the inside session students were taken to the school oval to see the Radian in action under Brian’s expert control (including some unfriendly magpies for laughs). After fielding many, many questions relating to the class assignment, Jamie and Brian then demonstrated how the new Force Helicopters flew, battled, and won. Model Flight would like to thank the students from Clovelly Park Primary School, and teacher Sam Kennedy, for organising a very informative, and hopefully beneficial session for the students. 

We hope to see many of these smiling faces enjoying flying in the future!

Let the Battle Begin with FORCE RC

Horizon Hobby have just announced a new revolutionary brand and line of products to the market....FORCE RC!

FORCE RC unleashes these ultra-lightweight, combat-ready helis, perfect for out-maneuvering opponents in tight quarters. The FHX and MH-35 have self-stabilizing characteristics and a mil-spec gyro stabilization system that make combat flying a breeze. Using our built-in battle module to send and receive range adjustable, infrared signals, your customers can shoot down their opponents while in flight. Game play, using a newly designed 5-channel custom transmitter, will focus on the themes in either one-on-one, or team play mode, like dog fights, target practice, and heli vs. ground with the FORCE RC Ground Target. So let the battles begin...

• Tuned controls to provide plenty of responsiveness for aggressive ABM (Air Battle Maneuvering) without making them too sensitive.
• VDAS (Visual Damage Assessment System) gives a sequence of visible damage signals before the last hit finally results in a slow spiraling descent to the ground. In no time, the heli resets itself and is off for more action.
• Optional SimpliFly™ control mode reduces pilot workload to left/right, forward/back, up/down and guns
