ParkZone has introduced two new indoor electric planes, operated by Spektrum-compatible 2.4 GHz radios. At left is the Ember RTF, which has a wingspan of 16 inches and a flying weight of 0.6 ounces. We saw this plane fly at the WRAM Show and were impressed with its agility. It’s a three channel model with throttle, elevator, and rudder control.

At right is the Vapor RTF, which will be available in June and has a 14.75 inch wingspan and weighs even less at 0.4 ounces. It will also come in a Bind-N-Fly configuration, meaning you supply a DSM2 radio such as a Spektrum DX7 or DX6i. Owners of the E-flite Blade CX2 can also reuse that spread spectrum radio with this model, which is appealing. Both planes operate on a single cell LiPo battery and charger, both of which are included.

The fourth round of the German 1/10th 200mm Championship took place in Nürnberg last weekend and in qualifying it was Xray NT1 racer Thomas Günsel that took the TQ, also setting a new lap record. At the start of the final, pole man Günsel and his team mate Dirk Wischnewski both had engine problems forcing Dirk to retire and dropping Thomas back to 5th, 2 laps down on early leader Michalel Heinrich. Thomas managed to catch the leader and with 7 minutes to go, took the lead and with it the win, finishing with Heinrich in 2nd and Christoph Pietsch in 3rd.
