ELECTRIC FLIGHT U.K. - British Electric Flight Association

Left is the LN Model
Javelin, built by Libor
Nezbeda of LN Model
almost entirely of light
balsa & covered in
contrasting Oracover.
The kit also includes
high quality fittings,
light foam wheels and
CNC cut vinyl decals.
Puffin usually include
clear hinge tape with
LN Models kits.
The large centre hatch in the wing provides excellent access for the radio equipment,
and mounts are built-in for 9g servos. The fuselage is a carbon rod. The Puffin
Models demonstrator is fitted with a Model Motors AXi 2808/24 motor which
provides true vertical performance with long leisurely flights using a 3S 1700mAh
LiPo pack. At a flying weight of 600g the Javelin is extremely manoeuvrable and
will perform “the book” within a very small space. The Puffin price is £59.95 for
the basic kit or £65.95 with a 400 motor, MP Jet gearbox & quality prop driver.
The LN Models Samba is shown below, which is a development of the popular
Vermont Belle 1300 and designed for 8 to 10 cell brushless power systems. The
Samba retains the excellent low speed handling, but the straight taper 130cm
wing and hollow foam upper deck simplifies the construction. Most of the
construction is light balsa and covered in Oracover giving a flying weight of 1.5kg.
The generous fuselage size has a good amount of room for batteries and other
equipment, with battery access through a large hatch in the nose. Puffin fly their
Samba with a Model Motors AXi 2820/10 and 8 or 10 x 3300mAh NiMH cells.
With increased elevator throw the Samba can perform 3D manoeuvres such as
Harriers and Parachutes. The Puffin Models price is £109.95, which is £5 less
than the Vermont which remains available from stock.
