HYPERION SUPER
CHIPMUNK 70E
The Super Chipmunk is an awesome model, flight characteristics are
superb, she handles like a big trainer yet is capable of a wide range of
aerobatics.
Powered by a Z4025 outrunner through a LIGHTNINIG 80A ESC on 6 cell 4-5000mah packs, the
Chipmunk runs at 1650 watts and produces 4.2kg static thrust and just over 80mph
on an APC1410E.
We use a LIGHTNING 5A HV-UBEC to power the radio gear and servos
are standard JR539 digital as found in most radio sets, yup finally somewhere
to put those huge servos you have sitting in the box! I will be swapping out
the wing servos for some Waypoint 1706MG soon as I get some time, they are
lighter, heaps faster and have metal gears.
With a 1.6 metre wingspan the chipmunk has a real presence in
the air and the Pennzoil colour scheme is easily seen. Fantastic model!
FLYFLY MIRAGE 90mm
Latest and greatest, the Mirage has been built in Australian colours
and is a two seater RDU version, number A3-113. Runs Wemotec Midifan upgrade
with the new ARC3675 inrunner and two ELITE 4000mah 4s1p 25c packs in series.
With 2700 watts on tap the Mirage has been clocked at 150mph!
The airframe has been sanded back lightly and glassed with 3/4oz (25
gram) glass cloth and Polyurethane with Q-cell micro-spheres mixed in to fill
and strengthen the weave. Best finish I have done so far with the glass!
RC LANDER F9F PANTHER
The F9F is a brand new model from LANDER, a new Chinese company
which is putting in a huge effort into their models. This Panther would have
to be one of the best jets out of the box we have had! A new fan unit CNC machined from aluminum featuring a
balanced GRP rotor and alloy spinner, powered by
a 2847 inrunner that puts out 900 watts on our ELITE 4000 4s1p 25c packs and
pushes the Panther along at 105mph level flight! No need for upgrades here,
build it in an evening! Hand launch is a breeze and factory retracts with
Oleo struts are available!
FlyFly 90mm F86 SABRE
This is our Black Diamonds version of the FlyFly SABRE, a 1.4 metre wingspan
90mm ducted fan jet, brings a new level to affordable EDF models!
Superb flyer, smooth and graceful in the air, scale speed of around
90mph on our 6 cell setups.
Our Sabre runs factory retracts with custom made main legs, 2.5” scale
rubber wheels with alloy hubs, airframe is completely glassed with 3/4oz
fiberglass cloth and polyurethane. AUW is 2.8kg with our EXP4100 6s1p battery
pack.
EXTREME RC F16 FALCON
Awesome aircraft! One of the nicest
small jets to fly, you can go from mild to wild with our F16!
My personal F16 runs a Wemotec Minifan
PRO with a series II HET 2W18
Typhoon motor. Minimal modification is needed to fit the fan, it almost drops
in place. Running through a LIGHTNING 60A ESC with
switchmode BEC and ELITE
2500mah 4s1p packs, has been clocked at 135mph level flight, that’s almost
220kmh.
Power system runs around 800 watts,
there is another 100 watts there if a bigger battery is run but the model is
the ideal weight with 2500mah packs.
F20 Tigershark
A very agile and quick little plane, little being the operative
word! Easy hand launch and very responsive, this aircraft flies on rails.
We have two packages for this, a 3 cell setup that draws only
15-16 amps, uses an EXP1300 3s1p 20c pack and provides almost 1:1 thrust to
weight ratio.
The popular 4 cell setup draws only 19 amps, uses our EXP1300
4s1p 25c or PQ1200XQ 4s1p 30c packs and pushes the Tigershark to 100mph level
flight! AUW around 530 grams and thrust around 650!
ULTIMATE 40s BIPLANE
The Ultimate 40s is a mid sized biplane made for a 52 four stroke.
Mine is built as electric and runs an EMAX 4020-08 out runner,
LIGHTNING 60A ESC with
built in switchmode BEC,
Polyquest 3200XQ 5s1p 30c/50c lipo, PARK HPX/BB servos on rudder &
elevator and a waypoint 1706MG for the ailerons.
AUW is 2300 grams and the power system runs at 830 watts on an APC1470E prop!
Climb rate is excellent, plenty of power, system runs at 44 amps static
and a 5 min mixed flight uses 2000mah. Impressive electric aircraft!
GWS have really
gone all out this time! This jet is huge, lots of detail, classy looks and
superb flight characteristics.
Runs EDf64 fans
with 2040 3900 inrunners on 2200mah 4s1p 25c batteries. Pretty much the same
power system as the ME262.
Slow fly-bys wow
the crowd and the rolls and turns are very scale looking. A great looking and
flying jet!
GWS ME262
My GWS ME262
features 2040 size in-runner motors with half a Hyperion heatsink on each
can. Running twin DN LV25A esc’s and PQ2000XQ 4s1p 30c batteries, the planes
AUW is 935 grams and thrust is sustained at 1200 grams with a peak of 1.3kg
on a fresh battery! Clocked at 95mph level flight!!
Finish is
that of the famous commander Major Walter Nowotny, one of the first
commanders to receive a squadron of Schwalbes (swallows). Videos are linked
to the EDF pages on the website, suffice to say the aircraft is very fast
with excellent vertical performance.
Red Arrows HAWK EDF
BAE RED ARROWS HAWK! Sporting a 64mm 6 blade ducted fan
and 2040 size brushless motor as standard, this plane sets the benchmark for
affordable beginner’s jets!
Extremely easy to fly, very stable, and slows down extremely well,
a true parkflyer jet with the looks and the sound to match!
Running on our 4 cell power system the Hawk performs very well,
the undercarriage works perfectly for hard surfaces. If you are flying on
grass just remove the undercarriage and hand launch. One of the easiest
planes to throw, it also picks up a good turn of speed with no wheels!
GWS A10 Warthog
“ULTIMATE” A10
build features Hyperion Y22S motors spinning EDF55 fans, dual EXTREME POWER
30A esc’s and either 3s2150 or 3s2200mah 20c battery packs.
Fibre Glass
covered airframe with Carbon Fibre reinforcement, the AUW has been kept to
675 grams with a 175 gram battery pack, no mean feat!!
ROG’s with no
wheels, see the video link on the EDF page, plenty of power!
ALFA TA183 HUCKEBEIN
ALFA Models
Huckebein is a rendition of the second generation German jet fighter, a very unique
looking plane that was often referred to as the flea. The 3 cell setup runs
Hyperion Y22S brushless motor with stock Alfa fan, 30A ESC and various
battery packs. It will produce 1:1 thrust with a 3s1300 20c pack and 5-8 min
flight times. Best option is 3s1300 – 3s1700 20c pack.
ROG’s with
little effort, just be careful on climb out, it wants to pull up and stall
until the airspeed is up a little. First flight required no aileron trim at
all and only 2 clicks of elevator!
Insane
version runs a custom wound outrunner on 4 cells with 4s1700 20c pack, 30A
esc in the exhaust and an external UBEC. Running at 400 watts and soon to be
fitted to an Alfa MIG15!
E-GO Models SU27 FLANKER
The EGO SU27 Flanker is a great looking aircraft; the
swooping nose section rises back over the cockpit area before melding into
the huge air intakes for the dual EDF64mm fans!
Our brushless 3 cell high performance version of this model
gives the jet a scale like performance, effortless large loops and vertical
climb outs that take some time to drop off in speed!
For Extreme Power go with the 4 cell setup that has the
SU27 doing the cobra and then climbing out vertically!
SUPER CHIPMUNK
The Hyperion
Chipmunk is a lovely kit, the finish is exemplary like all Hyperion models
and it looks like the real thing! Soon to be refitted with our new EMAX 2215
outunner, on a 9045 prop and 1700-1800 20c battery thrust has been tested at
1.15kg!! The performance should be very good don’t you think? J high thrust and around 75kmh airspeed should make for a nice
aerobatic scale looking aircraft! Flight reports coming soon!
BF109E
My BF109E! I built
this plane a long time ago from a Japanese kit, it was originally designed
for 0.35ci glow power, but I have decided to convert it to electric when time
permits. It is a 48” span all built up and sheet covered balsa model.
Power system will
be an ERC3520 outrunner running on 5s with an 11-12 inch prop, should be able
to get 1000-1200w setup into her!
I plan to
retrofit some Hyperion retracts into it to finish it off, should look rather
good in the air!
Hyperion CAP232
The CAP232 is a beautiful kit, the fit & finish is superb, and
the end result is a plane which flies brilliantly. Power system almost
identical to the WACO above, the CAP232 has unlimited vertical
performance and can do pretty much anything in the sky (subject to your
skills J)
