Movies Added! Balsa USA’s Stick 40 Plus is the newest incarnation of this time-proven kit-built aircraft.

If you haven’t built a wood kit before, join us On The Flight Line to learn what it takes in our first wood kit review.
The Shulman Aviation Super Cessna is nearly in a class of its own. Light weight, nimble and yet gentle, this Advanced Trainer is definitely not your boxy airplane so common to this class. Styled after the Cessna Cardinal, this sleek aerobatic airplane is unique. Walk the Flight Line and check out this high-performance electric-powered airplane.
Movies Added! Here it finally is. The Kadet LT-40 ARF is the updated version of the best-known, most widely flown RC trainer in history.

Join Dick Pettit On The Flight Line and study the airplane that helped start it all.
Sport Aviator’s first twin-engined review is the capable and widely-known PBY Catalina. While the Great Planes version can be flown from grass and snow, its true home is your local lake.

Follow along as a real-life beginner modifies the Thunder Power OBL Trainer to Electric Power under the tutelage of an experienced electric power instructor. Also learn how the Thunder Tiger Trainer OBL performs behind a modern outrunner motor. Journey onto the quiet side of the Fight Line for this one.
Movies Added! The original Fighter-Trainer, The World Models F-14-like Basic Trainer, is still one of the best Basic Trainers available.

Movies Added! Float flying is an exciting and fun way to enjoy a little different RC piloting experience. Hangar 9’s Saratoga 40 sport airplane is amazing on land. What happens when it is paired with its matching floats? Put your bathing suit on and come on in, the water is fine.
The Saratoga ARF is really an RTF airplane without the radio and power system. Everything is done for the pilot. Assembly time is only fours hours. This airplane is truly relaxing to fly and builds pilot confidence. Yet, it will perform any non 3-D maneuver you can think of. Build and fly this surprising airplane located On The Flight Line.
Hangar 9’s new Pulse XT is one of the new crop of low-wing Advanced Trainers and sport airplanes. Mike Ramsey and his two sons build and wring out this new aerobatic trainer. Then they over-power it with the new Evolution .52NX engine and get performance undreamed of in previous Advanced Trainers. Join them On The Flight Line and get a look at this new airplane. It is easy to spot. It is the airplane with that giant engine sticking straight up out of the cowling.
Movies Added! – The Model Tech Super Cub ARF would serve very well as either a first, basic trainer or a second sport airplane.

Walk the Flight Line with Eric Henderson as he both reviews this fine airplane and passes along many building and assembly techniques and tips.
