The folks at Hobby Lobby and Graupner have joined forces again to bring you two great new products. The ready-to-fly Graupner Star Jet RTF Electric Flying Wing is an all-foam aerobat that can fly for more than 10 minutes while running on twin Speed 400 motors and a 7-cell Ni-Cd battery. The Star Jet has a 47-inch wingspan and weighs 53 ounces, is 31 inches long and has a 630-square-inch wing area. Priced at $99, the Star Jet comes with a ready-made ABS fuselage bottom reinforcement and all the necessary hardware and decals.

You'll be amazed by the flying capabilities of the ready-to-cover Graupner Cosmic Wind Formula 1 RTC. It comes with a fiberglass fuselage, a ready-made and sanded one-piece wing with slotted aileron and servo wells, solid balsa tail feathers, formed landing gear, a clear plastic canopy and all the necessary hardware. The Cosmic Wind has a 47-inch wingspan, is 38 inches long and weighs 5.1 pounds; it sells for $189.
