Product Announcements from Hobby Zone

The E-flite T-34 Mentor PTS was just released and it is the most advanced RTF electric we have yet seen. With a flying weight of about 5 lbs, it has a real balsa covered airframe, built and complete with everything you need to get into the new generation of RC airplanes. If you are flying park flyers and wish to move to a larger plane, or a nitro pilot and want to try electric, this is a new option you should check out.

We have been flying the recently released ParkZone Vapor around our warehouse and it is a riot. It is tiny, but has enough power to climb straight up after bouncing off a wall or hitting a breeze, and the control surfaces are huge for the size of the plane. Definitely a recommended buy and can be flown in spaces much smaller than our warehouse. Comes in RTF and Bind N Fly versions.

For our heli pilots, E-flite has released the Plug and Play version of the Blade 400. Also, check out the aluminum hop ups for the Blade 400 which we expect to have in stock within the next month.

The camera I've been using is almost dead now, but it was great while it lasted...it's a Cobra DMC300. It's exactly like a FlyCamOne (The original, not the v2) except it's color and branding. Cobra cameras discontinued it though and the FlyCamOne costs twice as much as what I paid :( It's nice and light though and takes pretty fair video. Google either brand and you'll find a picture of it. You can email me with "joe @ JoeFlyer Dot Com" if you have other questions.
