Radio: 4 channel~Those flyers that like the traditional scale model will be interested in the new Bücker Jungmann from Top Gun. This scale representation of Carl Clemens Bücker's famous World War Two German biplane trainer is sure to appeal to classic aircraft enthusiasts.

In it's time, the Jungmann was a masterly piece of engineering and knowledgeable pilots of classic aircraft called the Bücker Jungmann the best handling sports plane of them all.

Countries all over the world took Jungmann's to train pilots, as the outbreak of war approached. There are now only about a 100 in existence, but with Top Gun's 66" wingspan model you can at least recapture the mood of a bygone era.~Bucker Jungmann|616|~1539~1401~~

Cap 232~Type: scale/ aerobatic
Wingspan: 1524mm/ 60"
Engine: .40-.60 2s / .52-.91 4s
Radio: 4-5 channel~The CAP 232 has been synonymous with precision aerobatics for years and now that Top Gun has released an inexpensive .40-size model, there really is no excuse for not moving to the next level in flying.

Pre-built from quality balsa and ply, the CAP is 90% pre-built with total assembly taking about 10 hours.

The Top Gun Sport CAP 232 was reviewed in the January 2003 issue of Radio Control Model Flyer magazine and attracted the comment: "I can honestly say that with the model set up as instructed for normal flight, the Top Gun CAP 232 is the smoothest and most precise semi-scale ARTF I have ever flown!"~Cap 232|603|~1539~1325~~

Cessna 182~Type: sport/scale

Engine: .40-.60 2s/ .50-.65 4s

A solid, dependable performer no matter what the requirement, Top Gun have brought these same characteristics to this 66” wingspan model.

Scale detailing such as prepainted and matching fibreglass cowl and wheel pants. rudder nacelle, drooping wing tips and authentic trim scheme almost allow the TG Cessna to be mistaken for the real thing.

Designed around an economic .40 size engine, it is a model that is within reach of any intermediate flyer looking for something fast. We flew ours with a hot .40 unleashing true racing performance. The FFW streamlined, aerodynamic design provides some breathtaking passes.

Wingspan: 1570mm/61"
Engine: .60-.90 2s/ .90-1.20 4s
Radio: 4 channel~If you were lucky to fly the .40 then you will love the .90. This grownup, more mature big brother features a number of sutble changes for better crisper flying. And how does it fly? Take a closer look to find out.

Flat take off with minimal rudder is needed to keep it straight. Using a Supertigre G23 there is more than enough power available to fly verticially to the cloulds.

The Javelin 90 tracts smoothly, loops superbly round needing very little adjustment, knife edge capabilities are astonishingly good and are probably its speciality. Spins are crisp and stop within a 1/4 of turn when neutralizing controls.

The model will fly relatively slowly for it's size and when stalls, fly's straight ahead not dropping a wing. The Javelin 90 looks on ground but presents beautifully in the air.~Javelin|611|~1539~1391~~

Spitfire IX~Type: scale/sport
Wingspan: 1804mm/ 71"
Engine: .60-.90 2s/ 1.20 4s
Radio: 5 channel~Top Gun R/C Aircraft decided that it would only be right to begin their Warbird range with a Spitfire and none better than the legendary WWII fighter ace Johnnie Johnson’s MkIX.

Air Vice Marshal James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson was a RAF pilot who shot down 38 Luftwaffe aircraft during World War II, thus becoming the British flying ace with the most "kills" during the war.

Top Gun, in collaboration with partners Cermark feel that details on such an aircraft are everything so have chosen to use a glassfibre fuselage incorporating moulded fin, detailed panel lines and rivets and detachable flush fitting fibreglass cowl, pre-finished with fitted Merlin exhaust stacks. Balsa built up tail plane, rudder and wings.

Wings are fitted out for air retracts included in the kit. Flying surfaces covered in camouflage oracover matching the fully painted and trimmed fuselage. Fully moulded canopy is complete with prepainted framework.

Other scale details include moulded air intakes and radiators, 20mm cannon and ariel, wheel well inserts for wings and wheel doors.Designed around a 60-90 2-stroke or 1.20 4-stroke engine, the MkIX weighs in with a flying weight of around 9-10lbs depending on engine choice.Due to a lightweight design for its size, the Top Gun MkIX is very easy and forgiving to fly. It has no vices such as tip stalling, and results in an aircraft that feels very comfortable and safe to fly - not always a trait associated with scale Spitfires.

For our test model we chose a .91 4-stroke which enabled us to retain most of the scale cowl outline by hiding most of the silencer within the cowl which is always difficult with a Spitfire, resulting in a more scale like profile.~Spitfire IX|852|~1539~1987~~

Taylorcraft~Type: sport/scale
Wingspan: 2172mm/ 86"
Engine: 1.08-1.5 2s/ 1.2-1.8 4s

Coupled with an outstanding scale colour scheme, of red, white and dark blue, scale moulded fibreglass cowl and gorgeous checkered under-surfaces the Taylorcraft looks every inch the classic high wing, stand off scale aircraft. The cowl accepts a wide range of engines from a 1.08 glow to a 26cc petrol.~Taylorcraft|618|~1539~1405~~

The Ultimate’s powerful rudder is legendary, with knife edge flight is simply awesome. What about snaps? Well, they’re wonderful. Four wide ailerons give you excellent response at any speed-something that has to be seen to be believed. The Ultimate’s wing loading is lower than that of some trainers, this means easy landings and better overall handling.The New Ultimate has a combination of ease of flying and manoeuvrability that make an average flyer look like a pro.~Ultimate|614|~1539~1397~~
