Kit
Production Temporarily Stopped for Business Restructuring:
In order to supply our products
more efficiently, we will be restructuring our business over the next several
months by revamping our production methods and products. To make time for these
changes we've had to temporarily shut down kit production. We apologize for
this inconvenience and for such short notice of this announcement, as we
realize the timing for this break in service is not ideal (with springtime and
WeaselFest so close).
Online Shop to Remain Open The good news
is that we will not be completely shutting down. Our online shop will remain
open for the interim, so R/C radio gear and replacement parts will continue to
be available for immediate shipment. See above to find out about our Spring
Sale.
We are sad to say that Weasel-pro and Alula kits are all out.
Currently, we do not have a timeline as to when kits will again be available,
but please feel to Email us if you would like to be on our contact list.
Thanks for hanging in there with us during this transitional
period!

New Services & Products:
New and
Improved Online Shop We have made some changes to our ordering pages to
make locating products easier. Our US and International order pages have been
merged to make shopping a breeze. In one stop you'll now be able to purchase
complete R/C flightpacks for your Alula or Weasel. If you simply need to order
a replacement part for your glider, or just a single battery or servo, you can
do that too via our updated shop.
Mikro-5 digital receiver now
available! $38.00 - includes crystal
 Tired of low cost receivers that don't
perform as advertised? We think we have found a solution to this problem. The
new and versatile Mikro-5 is a tiny, full range receiver (flight tested to over
one mile!) which offers glitch-free performance, thanks to onboard Digital
Signal Analysis software. Now available with horizontal or vertical pins. Built
and tested in the USA! (Available in FM.72MHz only)
New R/C Flight-Packs - Save
time and money!
To meet your unique flying needs, we now carry R/C flight-packs
in various configurations. All flight-packs are matched to our gliders;
however, they'll work equally well in other small R/C aircraft with similar
requirements. All packs are discounted as bundle deals, so you'll save up to
15% on your R/C flight gear!
 More Variety, Better
Prices! We now
carry a wider range of micro servos to suit your unique flying requirements and
budget. We've also expanded our line of NiMH rechargeable receiver battery
packs for your R/C sailplanes (capacities range from 160mAh to 700mAh).
About
Our Gliders:
The
Weasel-pro and
Alula
are small, remotely controlled gliders made of durable EPP (expanded
polypropylene). All of our designs are gliders and thus utilize upward wind
currents (or updrafts) to sustain flight.
Caution - these
gliders are not toys. They are remote gliders that require a certain level of
experience to assemble and fly; however, we do feel that the Weasel-pro can be
a good entry-level R/C glider with the proper aid of an experienced
pilot.
Our largest and most popular glider, the Weasel-pro, has a
35.4 inch wingspan and was designed for light to moderate lift conditions on
the slope. It is a very maneuverable glider, but has very forgiving flight
characteristics, making it suitable for both beginner and accomplished R/C
pilots. This glider is just pure fun to fly!
Listed below are some of the Weasel pro's
features:
- Flies in 5 to 25 mph
winds
- For beginner to expert
pilots
- Easy/fast building
kits
- Crash resistant EPP foam
construction
- Maneuvers like a weasel in
tight spaces
- Extremely
aerobatic
- Fits in your car
trunk
- Extremely low stall
speed
High
Quality, Affordable Kits
Our EPP kits are designed to minimize building time. Servo, battery,
and receiver compartments are factory cut! Spar notches are pre-cut and the
hotwire fuzz has been removed from the computer-cut EPP wings. A full hardware
package is included in each kit. For the amount of work that goes into our
kits, we feel they are practically a steal. Order a kit
