Megatech Nitro Airstrike
The Megatech Airstrike electric rc airplane has proven to be a popular model, and now Megatech has followed up with the Nitro Airstrike trainer, shown below (shop for it on eBay).
It comes in complete RTF (Ready to Fly) form and features Megatech's tried and tested simple 7-nut system that results in the airplane having an assembly time of around just 15 minutes.
The instruction manual is easy to follow, so even if you've never done any kind of airplane modeling before you'll still find it very easy to carry out the small amount of work that the Nitro Airstrike requires before it takes to the skies.
Being completely RTF, the Nitro Airstrike comes with motor and radio gear fully installed and set up. The radio system is the reliable Airtronics VG400 4-channel system, while the motor is the hard wearing 'M-46', with its reliable twin needle carburetor and ballrace.
As for the airplane construction, the Nitro Airstrike is made up of top quality balsa and plywood which makes the model very robust and solid.
As for flying, the Megatech Nitro Airstrike is exactly what you'd expect from a basic 4 channel high wing trainer. It is very stable in the air and the super-lightweight wing loading means that flying speeds are kept lower, even at higher engine revs. This is a very reassuring characteristic for anyone learning to fly rc for the first time!
