The Reflex is a ready to fly helicopter that is equipped with twin rotors and a twin drive props for directional control. With winter finally here in New Jersey the Reflex looked to be neat toy to have for some indoor flying.
The great looks and ease of flight make it a joy around my house. It is especially relaxing on those rainy days to get a flight in around the house to curve the withdrawals of not being able to go outside.
This is another great ARF from Hangar 9. It truly is, from the included hardware, to the straight forward assembly manual, to the neat features like functional flaps, visible scale componants on the belly and retractable landing gear this plane is a real winner. I cannot imagine finding a more nicely setup ARF that flies any better.
The Titan continues the successful pedigree of the Raptor line and its enhancements though subtle are worthwhile especially the ability to swing 620 mm blades as it lets the pilot put more of the torque of the 50 Hyper engine to the blades.

The Mini-T offered a very well-rounded package, but Losi touts the Micro-T as a fully ready to run vehicle. You'll find the radio, charger, and even the AA batteries in the box. So it's ideal for someone looking to get into the hobby, or someone that doesn't want to purchase a lot of support equipment.
This traditional .40-size trainer design flies quietly and without needing a clean-up. The maintenance-free brushless motor and controller system provides plenty of power for either sport aerobatics or basic trainer fun.
The Lightning GT is an excellent choice for a basher. The platform is very rugged, and likes to jump well. The stock tires add to the vehicles capability to handle really rough terrain, and are a very good all around tire for the basher crowd.
For years Schumacher Racing has been a leader in R/C. This video shows RCUniverse.com taking the Schumacher Rascal and putting it through a difficult race course. Enjoy!
This is a well built, heartily equipped and formidable giant scale IMAC airplane. I would say that it would be an excellent introduction into IMAC or 3D. It is definitely great for a sport flyer that wants a stable and easy to takeoff and land plane that will perform predictably.

The Fledgling is a perfect electric trainer. This balsa built up model is large enough to use inexpensive standard servos and it is simple to assemble for the beginning hobbyist. The light wing loading and ample power provide steady flight characteristics for pilots to master flight on this first plane trainer. The Fledgling makes clean electric flight affordable and fun.
Somewhere between a .25 and .40 size aircraft, it's got the size to make it more stable and makes for a great plane for enjoyment and serious practice.
The Losi Muggy strikes from the other end of the spectrum. While it does have the buggy-like characteristics of a truggy, there's no doubt that it started life as a monster truck when it was on the drawing board.
If I had to use one word to sum up the Havoc it would be ?tough?. This truck takes abuse like no other truck before it, thanks to its rugged carbon-fiber and aluminum construction. Its lack of unnecessary components makes it a very lightweight and responsive platform for jumping. This is sure to keep it an established favorite in bashing clichés throughout the hobby.
The Showtime 50 is a very fun plane and tracks great for Pattern and is agile enough for any 3D maneuver. The good looks and great performance really make it shine. The only negative that I found was the wing rock in harrier. But I feel that is not inherit of this plane and can be worked out. This plane is not for the beginner, but intended for intermediate to advanced pilots.
RC boating can be an intimidating facet of the hobby for those people whom are interested in giving it a try. The thought of having to ensure a nitro-powered boat is tuned properly when it's often far away out on the lake is tough to overcome to the beginner. That's where electric boats like the CBM Capricorn fit in.
