The FLY WING Eurocopter AS350 B3 Ecureuil, featuring the distinctive Air-Zermatt livery, is a smart-scale helicopter that impressively combines alpine operational aesthetics with modern flight technology. GPS-assisted stabilization, an ACE controller, the C-Turn function, and the CNC-machined rotor head ensure precise, true-to-prototype flight characteristics combined with high system stability. As a fully equipped RTF set, this new product is aimed at both scale enthusiasts and pilots who want to combine state-of-the-art assistance systems with the option of fully manual flight.

Pilot-RC is making a double statement in the high-end segment: With the SU30 Elsterjet 2.8 m and the Raven 103" Carbon Competition, two uncompromising high-performance aircraft for jet and 3D pilots are ready to take off. While the SU30—developed in collaboration with the Elster Jet Team—features twin thrust vector control, an electric retractable landing gear, and a modern honeycomb sandwich structure to enable extreme 3D maneuvers in the turbine range, the Raven 103", designed by Ryu Sintuphrom, impresses with its precise roll rate, aggressive tail response, and balanced competition performance—a performance that has already secured victory in the Pro Class at the 2025 3D Aerobatic Championship. Two concepts, one goal: maximum performance at the competition level.

Following the success of the 2000-mm version, FMS is now launching the legendary DHC-2 Beaver in a compact 800-mm format. This highly detailed scale replica impresses with its outstanding STOL capabilities, a robust EPO airframe, and a pre-installed brushless powertrain that includes four digital servos—ideal for hassle-free flying fun at smaller airfields. As a PNP kit with quick-release wings, the compact Beaver combines an authentic look with high practicality for everyday use.

The 1:28-scale RC Drift Car Rally 4WD brings the authentic drifting experience to a compact format. The 7.4-V power system enables speeds of up to 30 km/h, while the integrated gyro system ensures stable straight-line driving and controlled slides. As a complete RTR set with all-wheel drive, independent suspension, and LED lighting, this model offers instant driving fun on smooth surfaces—ideal for ambitious beginners and drift fans alike.

With the Full Composite Brigand Bandit Sport, AF-Models presents a high-performance 2-meter turbine jet featuring an uncompromising GRP/CFRP construction. This largely pre-assembled PNP model is designed for turbines in the 10- to 16-kg class and impresses with its well-balanced flight characteristics. High aerobatic performance, combined with docile low-speed flight characteristics, makes the Brigand Bandit attractive to both ambitious pilots making the switch to jet models and experienced jet pilots.
