Parkzone RC airplanes

For electric RTF models, Parkzone rc airplanes are a great choice for anyone looking to either start flying radio control from scratch with something more than a basic model, or to progress up from simpler 1 or 2 channel planes.

Parkzone is one of the more popular product ranges developed and marketed by Horizon Hobby, one of (if not the) largest radio control distributors in North America, based in Illinois.

The company's Hobbyzone range, including the popular Firebird Freedom, provides a great way of enjoying some novice-level and low-cost rc flying, but the Parkzone rc airplanes are a step up in terms of size, model types and flying capabilities.

With a mix of non-scale, semi-scale and scale airplanes to choose from there is an airplane to suit most pilot's preference.

The Parkzone RTF planes

Shown below are the 'one box purchase' Parkzone rc airplanes (in no particular order), with a brief description of each.
For more details, or to buy, just click through each one.

F27C Stryker
A highly modified Stryker airplane. Powerful brushless motor gives ballistic vertical performance and level flight top speed of around 80mph. Looks good too!
See the Parkzone F27C Stryker on video.

P-51 Mustang
This is a great example of a scale electric rc airplane, modeled from one of the most famous WWII fighters. Good attention to detail, including a realistic pilot, makes this P-51 look great in the air. 3 channel to motor, elevator and ailerons make this a fully aerobatic airplane.
See the Parkzone P-51 Mustang on video.

Focke Wulf 190
Another great warbird is this scale FW 190, ready to take on the P-51 in the skies above! Like the Mustang, this Focke Wulf shows great attention to detail and looks as equally impressive in flight. A pilot figure adds to the realism.
See the Parkzone FW190 on video.

Spitfire
The most famous fighter of the Second World War, this Spitfire joins the Parkzone P-51 and FW190. Equally as spectacular in the air, the Spitfire comes with all the trimmings and is an excellent choice for an electric RTF scale fighter.

J3 Piper Cub
3 channel scale model of the most famous trainer in aviation history. Nice and stable in the air means that this Cub makes a perfect scale rc trainer, or it can be made to perform basic aerobatics for when needs arise.
See the Parkzone Piper Cub on video.

Slo-V
An elegant looking Slow Flyer, suitable for anyone looking for some relaxing rc flying - indoors in an area such as a sports hall or, of course, outdoors. It's a carbon fiber stick based model with easy flight characteristics, but still capable of a loop or two.
See the Parkzone Slo-V on video.

T28 Trojan
A larger and more powerful airplane, thanks to the brushless outrunner and lipo motor pack combination, the Trojan is a fully aerobatic low-wing scale trainer. Not a first model, but a great RTF choice for when you've got some experience.
See the Parkzone T28 Trojan on video.

One Box Purchase

With all Parkzone rc airplanes, their 'one box purchase' motto says it all - no other purchase is necessary to get your new model into the air as Parkzone intends it to be.
This is unlike many other RTF electric rc airplane manufacturers, where the batteries for the radio control gear almost always have to be purchased separately for a few extra dollars on top of the cost of the model.

A field charger is standard so that you can charge the airplane's motor battery pack from your car cigarette lighter outlet. The charging time is around 40 minutes; purchasing an extra battery pack is highly recommended (buying from Red Rocket Hobby Shop via this page will get you a free one in most cases!).
With the extra battery, you can enjoy twice the flying time than if you have to wait for one battery to charge between flights.

The majority of Parkzone rc airplanes are constructed from tough but lightweight foam, with a polymer outer skin. The airplanes are complete in every way, including decals, other than the very basic wing-fuselage assembly and battery installation.

All of the above shown Parkzone rc airplanes are available from Red Rocket Hobby Shop.
