Harrier 3D 46 ARF ![]() Seagull Model's Almost-Ready-To-Fly Harrier 3D ARF performs perfect harriers and other 3D maneuvers all at an affordable price The newest release from Seagull is the Harrier 46 ARF. This sensational almost-ready-to-fly airplane is priced for pilots on a reasonable budget. It is constructed from the same high-quality balsa found in more expensive ARFs and covered in genuine Hangar 9 red transparent and yellow transparent UltraCote for a professional finish. The intricate cockpit detail and included pilot figure add a realistic scale-like touch.
Harrier 3D 90 ARFby SEAGULL Budget-minded modelers looking for high-performance 3D handling will want to look into Seagull’s new Harrier 3D .90 ARF. Covered in genuine UltraCote® and built from top-quality balsa and plywood similar to that found in Hangar 9® planes, the Harrier 3D can easily perform both sequence and 3D-style aerobatics. In fact, it performs all 3D maneuvers quite easily. Solid harriers without wing rocking are a breeze (after all, it is called the Harrier 3D .90!), but the plane’s effortless performance with blenders, rolling circles and especially torque rolls allows pilots to develop their aerobatic skills.
KYOSHO FLIP 3 D .40 ![]() Kyosho Flip 3D .40 Don't push the envelope – shred it! Pilots who want to push their own limits need a plane that has none — a good description of Kyosho's Flip 3D ARF. Created by 2-time F3A World Champion Christophe Paysant-Le-Roux, it's designed to showcase piloting skills and to transport the adventurous ace to the outer limits of aerobatic excess. And to make sure it's a short, fast trip to the field, the Flip 3D is extensively prebuilt, factory-covered and equipped with a generous supply of hardware and accessories. Showtime 4 D .90 ![]() Showtime 4 D .90 Features Enter Hangar 9's new ShowTime 4D 90 ARF, a unique Mike McConville design equipped with innovative new SFG Technology—removable Side Force Generators that provide extra rudder authority and control to help perform a virtually limitless display of extreme 3D and precision aerobatics. These Side Force Generators attach to the middle of each wing and generate the necessary lift at low angles of sideslip to excel at slow knife-edge flight. They can be removed in seconds and flown without, as well as to make storage and transportation of the ShowTime convenient. Also contributing to the ShowTime's extraordinary performance is its lightweight laser-cut all-wood construction, making the plane very easy to control. The carbon fiber landing gear is much lighter than aluminum, yet quite durable and provides plenty of strength for rough landings. The plane looks incredible in its colorful UltraCote trim scheme, and the wide variety of engines such as Saito's FA-100 and Evolution's 1.00NX ensures every pilot will find one that’s right for him. It's the greatest "Show" on Earth—the ShowTime 4D 90 ARF from Hangar 9. What are SFG's? The short answer is, SFG= Side Force Generators. The longer answer is SFGs are wing-mounted surfaces that enhance the yaw force created by the rudder. While SFGs really aren't a new concept, adding them to the wing of a monoplane to generate extreme rudder power is a new twist. SFGs aren't hinged control surfaces. They don't move with a servo, and don’t need to. Their position, size and shape, when correct, generate lift in the yaw axis whenever the rudder is moved. This means the "side force" that is normally created by moving the rudder is enhanced….a lot. SFGs aren’t new. Ever wonder why some biplane designs, such as the Ultimate, have really powerful rudders? The primary reason for this is simply that they have rather wide interplane struts. In addition to providing needed structural integrity, these struts function as SFGs. Borrowing on that idea, my good friend and aero-genius George Hicks came up with the idea last year to create an electric-powered foamy for the first E-TOC that had super rudder authority. From that idea the now
legendary Tensor 4D biplane was born. Owing its super-rudder power to the
exaggerated wide interplane struts, the Tensor showed all of us just what wild
aerobatics could be achieved by using SFGs. After the Tensor, we experimented
with SFGs on various small foam monoplane designs and had similar results to the
Tensor. SFGs open up a new dimension in 3D aerobatics. With them, knife-edge flight requires almost no positive fuselage angle. Even very tight knife-edge loops are possible. Flat spins are more like stationary pinwheels. Control in hovering is also greatly improved. The next logical step seemed to be to put them onto a full-blown bigger model and see what would happen. The result is the new Hangar 9 ShowTime 4D. The easiest way to describe the new ShowTime is that pattern plane meets foamy. Very smooth, precise and easy to fly, yet capable of almost unimaginable extreme 3D maneuvers. So, SFG technology may not be a new concept, but when added to the world of 3D aerobatics, they open up a new dimension in extreme flight. FUNTANA .40 & .90
Funtana 3D .40 ARF AEROBATICS The 3D maneuvers are where the Funtana really shines. It is without a doubt the easiest plane to hover and torque roll that I have ever owned. On the recommended high-rate elevator, waterfalls were a bit of a struggle, but with the elevator set to its mechanical limit, waterfalls are simple and tight. Harriers are easy to enter and exit, and there is very little wing rocking with about 25 percent of flaperon mixed with the elevator. Inverted flat spins are done with elevator and rudder and just a little aileron to keep the wings level. With full deflection on the elevator and a little coaxing, a climbing inverted flat spin is possible. Knife-edge performance is good, and there is some coupling toward the belly. High-rate rolls are blindingly fast and perfectly axial. The ailerons are huge and provide control in any attitude and at any speed. Point rolls can be done with mechanical precision. Snap rolls are predictable and quick, and loops track well. The Saito FA-72 provides enough power to climb out of a hover, but I wouldn’t call it a rocket. All in all, the Funtana is a great-flying model.
