We receive regular container shipments of tried-and-true items and all kinds of new products. We’d like to showcase a few highlights here; the rest can be found in our online store. If you can’t find a specific product, we’d love to hear your suggestions, as always!
The new Freewing Ares 3D, developed and tested in collaboration with Sebastiano Silvestri of Sebart, sets new standards in the EDF segment. Thanks to the new second-generation 3D vector nozzle, which reduces thrust loss from around 35% to less than 6%, the jet offers extreme efficiency and precise controllability. With its 90-mm impeller and powerful 3668–1960 KV (6S version) or 4075–1350 KV (8S version) brushless inrunner motor, this Vector Sport Jet delivers impressive 3D performance. With a wingspan of 1156 mm and precision craftsmanship, the model impresses even beyond its flying capabilities.

FTL Innovation is an up-and-coming manufacturer of RC turbine jets that produces its products with the highest precision and quality. The brand combines decades of experience in model making with professional expertise from the aerospace industry.
Thanks to a unique manufacturing process, the jets remain exceptionally lightweight yet robust. Each model is fully developed and handcrafted by FTL engineers and extensively tested for performance and durability by international pilots.
With a focus on RC turbine jets, FTL Innovation is setting new standards in RC model building and is already successfully represented in the U.S., Asia, and Europe. Available from us: the Lancer in two sizes—2.1 m (11 kg) and 2.8 m (18–22 kg)—as well as the F-16 at 2.07 m and the J-10 at 2.1 m in length.

FlyWing presents the FW450L as well as numerous scale models. The H1 autopilot system, featuring GPS hover and one-key return, revolutionizes the flying experience. Another unique feature is the newly developed 4-blade rotor head, which, thanks to the innovative quick-release mechanism for the rotor blades, allows for assembly and disassembly in seconds. FlyWing combines state-of-the-art technology with proven reliability.

The RC-Factory Giles 202 is the first model in the innovative FlexFoam series and offers significantly better performance than conventional EPP—it’s sturdier, more durable, and has a smoother surface for high-quality printing. The model features a 3-mm-thick FlexFoam structure with carbon fiber reinforcements and impresses with swept wings that provide excellent flight stability even in windy conditions. With a wingspan of 875 mm, a length of 915 mm, and a flight weight of just 180 g, it is ideal for experienced pilots and aerobatic maneuvers. Assembly is more challenging than with EPP models and requires specialized gluing techniques (UHU Por for main components, superglue for carbon parts). The model is supplied as a complete kit with landing gear and accessories and is designed for 2S LiPo batteries with 450–600 mAh.

We are now carrying the high-quality Vapcell Li-ion batteries in our product lineup! The N40 18650—with 4000 mAh and 10 A continuous current—and the powerful 21700 F40 series (4000 mAh, up to 40 A) set new standards. For the largest models, the 26800 cells offer an impressive 6,200 mAh at a continuous current of 25 A. Vapcell—when performance and reliability matter. Available now from us!
