WHAT'S NEW IN THE RC WORLD
Hangar 9 1/4 Scale J-3 Piper Cub PNP (2 boxes)
(11/18/2008)
It's all in the details. Large scale air enthusiast will marvel at this giant scale, super detailed J-3 Cub Plug-N-
Ply™. The ¼ Scale J-3 Cub PNP is a great flying large scale airplane, perfect for a 1st time large scale flight
experience because of its smooth flight characteristics. Everything except for a transmitter and receiver is
installed at the factory, including the perfectly-matched Zenoah 20cc electric ignition engine and JR digital
servos. The Zenoah G20ei, the smallest, lightest gas engine available, has an impressive thrust to weight ratio
that provides plenty of power to make this giant beauty soar. Fill the tank, turn on the ignition, flip the prop and it
is running. You can experience longer flights, achieving better than 30 minutes per tank. All of these
characteristics result in a great engine for anyone purchasing their first gasoline ignition model airplane. The low
fuel consumption of the G20ei allows the consumer to fly longer with less fuel than similarly-powered 4-strokes—
making this Cub an economical performer.
Hangar 9 has thought of just about everything to make this large scale Cub an incredibly accurate replica of the
ever-popular Piper J-3 Cub. Right down to the scale dash with Piper Cub emblem in the tachometer, this is the
large scale beauty designed with the scale admirer in mind. Scale enthusiasts will appreciate the more realistic
Cub outline facilitated by tubular construction of the top fuselage contour. Likewise, the scale fin to fuselage fillet
molding echoes its full-scale counterpart. The scale Cub wheels and working landing gear facilitate easier
landings, touch and go excitement and one-wheel arrivals.
Scale fanatics will be astonished by the full-bodied pilot figure that is not only of accurate scale but is also
posable. The operating door panels offer easy access to the interior of the plane and interior seating locks into
the cockpit floor yet is removable; both also contribute to the scale realism of the full scale Cub.
Besides the unparalleled scale detail, consumers also get smart design features like collapsible wing struts that
are connected to the wing with a pivoting pin and keeper while a pin and cotter key system allows the struts to be
removed from the fuselage without hassle. The 2-piece stab can also be removed if necessary.

Kondor Model Products P-51B Mustang
(11/12/2008)
The P-51 Mustang was the principle long range fighter in the allied arsenal. Its iconic lines and design made it one of
the most recognized aircraft of the era.
The P-51 arose from a need for a fighter aircraft for the RAF in accordance with the Lend Lease Act. The British had
a need for more fighter aircraft and their manufacturing plants were operating at capacity and under constant threat of
bombing by the Luftwaffe. The British considered the P-40 Warhawk, but it too was being produced at capacity, and
no other suitable aircraft could be found. As a result, the British contracted with North American Aviation, who also
manufactured the Harvard trainer, to design and build a new aircraft, which became the Mustang.
The original Mustangs used an Allison engine which quickly was recognized as being not up to the task. The British
suggested using a Rolls Royce Merlin 61 engine, whcih would drastically improve the aircraft's high altitude
performance. When this proved a successful variant it was designated the P-51B and put into full scale production.
With the new engine and the improved high altitude performance, and especially the more efficient fuel economy, the
aircraft proved capable of providing long range escort for allied bombers. This was especially true after the
introduction of drop tanks. It entered full service in October of 1943, and its ascendence as an escort fighter was the
catalyst for an incredible reduction in the attrition rates of allied daylight bombing raids.
The P-51B was later made obsolescent by later variants, including the P-51D, but it continued to serve in ground
attack and air superiority missions. The Mustang airframe continued to serve in allied airforces late into the 50's. It
saw action in Korea in US hands, and a number of them also saw combat at the hands of Israeli pilots during the war
of Independence in 1948 and even during the Suez crisis in 1956 (although by that time the IAF was flying mostly
French jet aircraft). The last US mustang was withdrawn from service in the West Virginia ANG in 1957. In continued to
serve with a variety of nations around the world, the last one being in the Dominican Republic, where it was withdrawn
from service in 1984. The last one lost in combat was ironically against the US. A Dominican F-51 Mustang was shot
down by US forces during Operation Powerpack in 1965-66. All in all, the Mustang earned its place in history as one
of the greatest military aircraft of all time.
About this Model
The P-51B christened "Bald Eagle III" was flown by Lt. Robert T Eckfeldt of the 374th Fighter Squadron of the 361st
Fighter Group. It was in this aircraft, on June 29th 1944, that he attacked Oschersleben aerodrome, destroying 4
FW-190's on the ground, and damaging two more. By the end of his tour in August of 1944 he had also claimed three
more kills of German aircraft in the air.
Now you too can own a beautiful scale reproduction of his aircraft!
Specifications:
Wingspan: 71"
Weight: 13.5 lbs
Engine: 1.50 4 stroke or 26cc gas
Radio: 6 Channels, 8 servos
Servo types: High Torque for elevator servo, standards for the rest.
Construction: Fiberglass fuse and balsa built-up wing
Wing Covering Material: Covering, painted, decals applied and clear coated. The aircraft has a beautiful flat,
non-glossy finish. This is superior to glossy covering materials. It is scratch, tear and wrinkle resistant. The covering
material is a brand name covering which has a special paint adherant layer. The covering goes on clear, and is then
primed and painted, then clearcoated.
Optional: Retractable landing gear set with oleo struts, alloy wheels. The retracts are generation 5 Air up/air down
retracts, and incorporate all of the latest design improvements. Increases the price by $200 with the purchase of the
kit (regular price for the retract set is: $269.95).
