HANGAR 9

Aspire EP RTR and Storage Racks

The new, ready-to-run version of Hangar 9s popular Aspire EP opens up the exciting world of slope soaring to a whole new generation of Wers. Uke the original, the Aspire EP Fan is constructed of balsa and ply, is covered in Ultracote and is powered by the same 550-type motor and folding-prop combination. The only differences between the two are in the slide-together wings and the factory-installed radio gear of the RTR version. In fact, the Aspire RTR is so complete that it even comes with a 6-cell battery pack and charger; you can be in the air in only a few hours. The Aspire EP RTR is capable of staying airborne for up to 14 minutes! It sells for $279.99.

While you're on the phone with the folks at Hangar 9, ask them about their new storage racks that help prevent any damage to your brand-new Aspire. These racks are not only a great way to avoid damaging your planes; they're also terrific space savers. Each rack is made of solid wood and painted white. Hangar 9 even includes foam rack guards to protect your airplane's covering and soft balsa from dings and scratches. The fuselage rack costs $5.95, and the wing rack sells for $9.95.
