NEW! Fly your RC airplane "from the cockpit"! |
|
 |
PilotViewFPV offers a breakthrough in the way you fly radio controlled aircraft. With this system you will be flying from the cockpit of your own model! The PilotViewFPV system was designed for use in radio controlled model aircraft, but that is only the beginning as far as possible uses. PilotViewFPV may be used in radio controlled cars or boats, and helium balloons and kites present exciting possibilities. Extreme sports participants in skydiving, snowboarding, and mountain biking can now share their experiences real time! |
NEW! Record up to 30 minutes of in-flight video |
|

NEW! Charging Lithium Polymer batteries just got safer |
|
 |
LipoSack - 9" wide and 12" long, weighs 4 oz. LipoSack will allow you to charge most Lithium Polymer packs and reduce the effects of a Lithium Polymer battery charging mishap. Place LipoSack on a non-flammable surface during charging process. Route charging leads through vent at the top seam of the LipoSack. Close top flap of LipoSack and press hook and loop closure. Charge your battery using proper charging practices. Always monitor your charging batteries and never leave them unattended. It is always recommended that you charge your batteries in a well ventilated area away from flammables and children. |
Never crash another plane due to a low receiver battery |
|
 |
Reads input voltages from 4 to 18 volts. By checking your receiver battery under load, weak batteries or undercharged batteries can be detected prior to the loss of your model. Detector will check batteries under 1/2A, 1A, or 1-1/2A loads depending on which button is depressed. Readout is on a large clear digital screen. Unit is reverse polarity protected. Use with Nicad, NiMH, Li-Ion and Li-Poly cells. |
20 Amp Power Supply |
|
 |
7-1/2" x 6-3/4" x 3-1/4". Plug into your 110-120V AC house current, then connect up to three 12V DC field chargers. Converts 110-120V AC power into clean 12V DC power. Converter will handle currents up to 20 Amps. A pre-installed grounded AC power cord is included as well as output terminals that accept banana plugs. On/Off switch with LED power indicator on front panel. |
Test and center your servos before you install them |
|
 |
Tiny 1-3/8 x 7/16 x 7/8", 8 grams. Servo adjuster allows you to connect 1 or 2 servos for centering or testing without the use of a receiver and transmitter. Connect any 4-5 cell receiver pack for power, plug in your servo(s), rotate the knob to test the travel then return the knob to the middle to center your servos. |
Detects slightest breeze from any direction! |
|
 |
|
Extremely accurate temperature readings - instantly! |
|
 |
Approximately 3-1/4" long x 3/4" dia. Extend the life of your LiPo batteries, speed controls and motors by checking the temperature after flights making sure to operate them within the manufacturers recommended temperature ranges. This is a non-contact infrared thermometer, just aim the unit at the target and press the measure button to display the surface temperature. The measurement range is from –27.4 to 428 degrees F (-33 to 220 degrees C) with an accuracy of +/- 2%. Compact, comes with pocket clip and batteries. Auto shut-off after 15 seconds. |
Checks voltage of 4-10 cell NiCad/NiMH or 1-3 LiPo packs |
|
 |
About 2-1/4 x 1-5/8 x 5/8", 1.3 oz., Large easy-to-read 3/8" LCD display indicates voltage of any battery pack 4-13 Volts DC instantly. Use with 4-10 cell NiCad and NiMH packs or 1-3 LiPo cells. Accurately check the voltage of your receiver pack before you fly. |
Reduce glitches in long servo leads! |
|
|
Long servo leads can generate electrical "noise" as your airplane travels through the air, this in turn creates glitches in your servos and in extreme instances loss of control. By simply wrapping the extension around the ferrite noise reducer at the receiver end of the extension, glitches are eliminated . Use 5mm for standard servo leads and 8mm for heavy-duty servo leads. Use one per long servo lead. |
Machined tempered steel shafts for a solid, no strip fit |
|
 |
5-3/8" long with color-coded knurled handles. Metric sizes 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm. |
Perfect Z-Bends every time |
|
 |
Most kits and ARF kits still leave the job of bending the pushrod ends up to you. Make perfect light-weight pushrod Z-bend connections for servo and control horn hookups in music wire up to 1/16" (1.5mm). |
