Two new warbirds

Kyosho proudly introduces two new additions to its classic line of quality fighters. The almost-ready to-fly F-86F Sabre is a glow-powered jet that's remarkably easy, quick and affordable. Best of all, it comes equipped with an O.S. .15 CV ducted-fan engine that produces incredible speed. The kit includes a special manifold and muffler that help keep the engine running at the proper rpm. The Sabre is constructed of lightweight balsa and fiberglass with a silver gelcoating on the fuselage for a sleek, authentic look. With a wingspan of 39.4 inches, a weight of 3.3 to 3.7 pounds and length of 38 inches, the Sabre requires a 4-channel radio with 4 miniservos and sells for $579.99.

The Super Quality Series PT-17 Stearman ARF follows in the Kyosho tradition of attention to detail. It's constructed entirely of lightweight balsa and is covered in film that replicates the original trainer's blue and yellow trim scheme. The large wheels and landing gear are true to scale, and the Stearman comes with all the necessary hardware. It requires a .40 to .46 2-stroke or a .48 to .53 4-stroke with a 4-channel radio and five servos. It has a wingspan of 49.4 inches, a weight of 5.5 pounds, a length of 38.9 inches and is priced at $349.99.
