4CH Messerschmitt ME-109 Radio Remote Control Electric RC Warbird Airplane RTF

4CH Messerschmitt ME-109 Radio Remote Control Electric RC Warbird Airplane RTF


4CH Messerschmitt ME-109 Radio Remote Control Electric RC Warbird Airplane RTF@hobby-estore.com


The Me-109 was the best known and most produced German fighter of World War II. It was the backbone of the German fighter command and ruled the skies over Europe from 1939 to 1941, as Hitler spread his empire over the continent. The Me-109s earned the respect of Germany's enemies in every theater of conflict and were greatly feared by Allied bomber crews during the later half of the war.


This ME-109 has been a favorite of R/C modelers for years, and now available as an easy-going, 100% Ready-to-Fly replica that is small enough and quiet enough for flying sorties at your local park or sport field!

Indoor remote control airplanes

Indoor remote control airplanes


One of the complaints you used to hear about remote control was you needed a place to run them. With indoor remote control airplanes, that is no longer the case.


Remote controlled aircraft have always been scale models of the original full size versions. The scale has varied but there has always been a limiting factor to how small the plane could actually be. The plane had to be able to carry the motor, the receiver, and in the case of electric planes, the batteries. The resulting planes needed a fairly large area to take off and land. Even more area was needed for flight. This separated planes from other remote control models. The planes needed to be flown outdoors.



Kyosho ILLUSION DF 45 BRUSHLESS DUCTED FAN EP JET (Blue)


Remote control helicopters were one answer to this problem. The helicopter needed less take off and landing space, and was able to fly in a much more confined space. It was possible to fly the remote control helicopters inside a large building such as a workshop or gymnasium. This opened up the Hobby to year round fun as hobbyist began to move indoors during bad weather to fly. Yet, helicopters, despite their fun, were not airplanes.


It was the ability to produce miniature components that ushered in the era of the remote control indoor airplane. The receiver was a major issue, but the advent of microcircuits allowed small and light receivers. It was now possible to fly remote control airplanes inside buildings along with helicopters. Indoor flight clubs began to open and quickly grew in popularity. Just about any building with some open space was now a potential flight area.



The Micro Flyer Wattage Indoor remote control Electric Airplane is an example of the genre. It is a mere 8.2 inches in length with a 9 inch wingspan. Its small battery pack allows it to fly up to six minutes on a single charge. The controller operates off 6 AA batteries. The remote control indoor planes such as the Micro Flyer can also be used outdoors. They are much more susceptible to high wind due to their light weight, but can perform outdoors in calm weather just as well as indoors.



The ultimate expression of the remote control indoor airplane may well be the Plantraco 3.6g Butterfly. This miniature plane has a 0.4 gram Micro900 Receiver and a GB05 4mm 5:1 gearbox. This tiny and light aircraft needs a mere room at least 12 feet by 16 feet in order to operate. This is roughly the size of a good sized living room. Micro sized remote control toys have been part of the Hobby for some time with cars used for table top and indoor racing leading the way. Now, it is possible to fly remote control airplanes in your living room.

Brand: Traxxas


It's the only way to describe it. Combine the extreme power of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine with the incredible Traxxas Jato and the results will leave you speechless. Stunning, jaw-dropping acceleration and face-distorting top speed propel Jato performance into the stratosphere. It's a power packed combination for excitement we couldn't resist. Bury the throttle and 60mph flies by in a mere 4.2 seconds. Top speed is over 65mph! 2nd gear wheelies. You bet! The integrated wheelie bar is included!

Jato 3.3's serious two-speed muscle power blows away typical purpose-built on-road cars, yet its suspension is versatile enough to take on the harsh realities of real-world pavement. Expansion joints, rocks, and even jumps are no problem for Jato's class-leading suspension travel. The big sticky Anaconda 2.8" treads and adjustable sway bars give Jato 3.3 tight, streetwise reflexes that don't require a mirror-smooth race course. When the pavement ends, Jato just keeps going. Its race-truck heritage gives it superior off-road capability. If you want to get serious at the dirt track, a simple tire change and Jato's TRX 3.3 Racing Engine belts out more muscle than most tracks can even hold.

  • Jato's exclusive 2-position receiver battery mounting (mid and rear) provides additional tuning options.

  • Precision metric hex hardware is used throughout.

  • Jato offers full suspension adjustability including caster, camber, toe, anti-squat, ride height, weight bias, and roll-center

  • Set-up DVD and full-color manual are included.

The firewall has been modified to accept the Kyosho universal brushless motor, which fits all popular brushless motors. The left and right halves of the main wing are attached to the fuselage with a light hollow tube so the fuselage doesn't need to be cut. This keeps the fuselage strong. In addition, film on the rear of the fuselage works as stringers to create an incredibly lightweight structure. All bulkheads have been computer designed to be as light as possible while still remaining strong and all pieces are cut to lock with each other during factory assembly creating greater strength and consistent quality from plane to plane. If your are ready for high performance electric flight, the Kyosho Edge 540 EP is for you!

Heralded as the real pilot's fighter jet, the F16 Fighting Falcon was designed to be small, fast and lethal without all the bells and whistles of much larger US fighters. The superior visibility from the cockpit, the advanced radar systems, and the close-range weapon systems make this the ideal fighter for air-to-air combat. Placed in service in January 1979, the Fighting Falcon still fights along side the F22 and F117 Air Force fighters today. This legendary aircraft is captured in scale detail and matching performance, as Kyosho's first DF55 brushless ducted fan RC jet.

RC toy artice

If you have a certain interest and attachment to everything fast, remote-controlled and notably customizable; remote-controlled cars are going to be something of value to you. Most probably, it can be something that you may hold on to until you grow old. RC toys in general, are ideally a great hobby to maintain since it doesn't only offer the challenges in building it, but the thrill and excitement when you own and are racing one is always there.


Remote controlled toys come in different forms and its individual composition makes it a favorite for many hobbyists all over the world. The thing is, with RC toys, a hobbyist isn't limited to just one type of vehicle. A RC cars, plane, boat, truck or buggy is readily available, depending really on the preference of the hobbyist.



The most common RC toy is the RC cars. It is very popular among hobbyists who are also interested in converting it to mini race cars later on. The good thing about RC racing cars is that they can be customized according to certain specifications that the owner wants. Choosing between electronic and gas powered RC carss are options that are also available for the hobbyist. In other words, continuous upgrades to a RC cars is limitless.


Perhaps the greatest challenge a hobbyist may encounter is handling a RC plane. The measurement and specific computation of this toy has to be exact to make sure that the plane is able to safely land and take off to and from the ground. If you are an avid fan of RC planes, you can even make one for yourself. Design your very own model and then purchase the right quality of wood afterwards. With this method though, you have to make sure that the radio equipment is just about right to lift the weight of your modeled RC airplane.


Though flying RC toys are the difficult ones to handle among all other RC toys, the RC helicopter is also gaining its very own popularity among RC hobbyists. The main difference is that helicopters can travel back and forth and stay in midair whereas planes have to be constant while flying. But then again, RC hobby doesn't offer limited opportunities. As long as you have a concept and the correct choice of radio motor, you can surely pursue a model plane, car, truck or boat to materialize. And you won't regret pursuing it because it is going to be an endless challenge for you. It has been for all RC hobbyists.

Between Gas and Electric RC Helicopter

Between Gas and Electric RC Helicopter

Electric RC Helicopter has become one of the more popular “boy toys” that hit and hit big. Its popularity is not surprising at all. Imagine fulfilling your dream of flying an aircraft without spending too much. And most of all: without leaving your foot off the ground. Now that’s a good plus factor if you simply don’t want to risk your life flying with a spinning rotor above your head.

2CH SYMA Schweizer 300 Radio Remote Control Helicopter RTF2CH SYMA Schweizer 300 Radio Remote Control Helicopter RTF

2CH Syma 603 Radio Remote Control Helicopter RTF2CH Syma 603 Radio Remote Control Helicopter RTF

Electric RC Helicopter usually come in either gas or electric powered. Here are the things you should know about the two:

Electric RC Helicopter – If you are a novice rc enthusiast, then the most advisable thing to buy is the Electric RC Helicopter. The reasons are simple. Electric RC Helicopter is simpler than other types of Electric RC Helicopters especially the gas rc’s. With the electric, you don’t have to deal with the engine and the gas it will consume. You would not need to have proper knowledge about mechanics just to make it fly. You don’t have to spend a lot of time reader the manual just to understand how it works. And if the helicopter fails, you don’t have to figure out how to fix it.

If you are thinking that Electric RC Helicopter would not fly for long then you should change you perspective. Most modern electric rc’s are powered by lithium batteries and coupled with brushless motors. This makes it fly much longer. In fact it can out last some of the gas rc’s.

And last thing: It is quiet on air thus you cannot disturb other’s privacy.

Gas RC Helicopter – A more experienced Electric RC Helicopter pilot prefers gas powered Electric RC Helicopters for several reasons. One is, flying Gas RC Helicopter flies like flying a full-size helicopter since the sound that the engine creates can trigger excitement. Oh! You might think that it is quite absurd. But no! The sound of the engine makes it more exciting to fly. Another reason is that Gas RC Helicopter is more complicated that keeps its pilot more addicted with it. Why? This is because the pilot is not only limited to flying the helicopter alone. Pilot is involved with how the mechanics of the RC. This gives him more reason to become excited on the RC.

Choosing between an Electric RC Helicopter and a Gas RC Helicopter is up to you. Evaluate carefully so that you get most out of your rc flying experience.
