There has been a huge increase in the availability of electric aircraft recently. The Chinese have started to make cheap entry level aircraft that fly very well. The range kept by us has been tested at Gauteng altitudes and all fly very well.

Beware of the cheap Supermarket type aircraft available almost everywhere. Many do not fly well at Gauteng altitudes and they do not keep spare parts! Our aircraft have all been tested by us and they do fly well and we stock all available spares.

 

NEW from ESky Hobby!!

 

The NEMO trainer

 

Sold Out, all spares still available.

Nemo is made of EPP foam making it very rugged. The flexibility of the foam makes crashes relatively uneventful. It is a full four channel aircraft equipped with ailerons, elevator, rudder and motor control.

The transmitter has rate selection as well as a elevon mixer for delta aircraft. On the low sensitivity settings it makes an excellent trainer, but is capable of good aerobatics on the high sensitivity settings.

There is sufficient power to take off is a very short space and provide a very enjoyable flying experience.
