HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System
HEADPLAY, INC. PUTS RADIO CONTROL AIRCRAFT ENTHUSIASTS "IN THE COCKPIT"
The innovative visual technology company, Headplay, Inc., announced today the launch of their First Person Viewer (FPV) technology for the HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System (PCS). Designed to elevate the Radio Control (RC) experience by providing the RC Pilot with an "in the cockpit" point of view, the HEADPLAY First Person Viewer bundles are now available for purchase online at www.headplay.com or www.getinthecockpit.com.
The technology of the HEADPLAY PCS allows RC enthusiasts to experience their radio control aircraft from a previously unavailable point of view. A compact wireless receiver delivers the wireless video signal from a mini video camera and transmitter installed in the Radio Controlled aircraft or helicopter to the HEADPLAY PCS worn by the operator, allowing RC pilots to experience their aircraft as if they were "in the cockpit."
Headplay has introduced three separate FPV bundles to accommodate every RC enthusiast:
Barnstormer:
Includes the HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System with battery and the FHV 5009G (NTSC Transmitter). The FHV 5009G system is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a mid-power system on a frequency that won't conflict with the latest 2.4 GHz flight controllers.
12 O'clock High:
Includes the HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System with battery and the FHV1000 Pro 2.4 GH. This powerful system can transmit either NTSC or PAL/SECAM video over eight channels and automatically selects the best signal from the two on-board receivers.
Captain of the Clouds:
Includes the HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System with battery and the 5.8 250mW Aerial Video. This is the top of the line, ultimate FPV set-up. Operating at 5.8GHz, this system transmits crystal clear audio and visual while avoiding signal conflict with everything from remote controllers to wi-fi.
The HEADPLAY FPV "Get in the Cockpit" bundles, starting at $879.99, are now available at www.getinthecockpit.com or www.headplay.com. The HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System with internal, rechargeable battery is also sold separately for $549.99 and is available now at www.headplay.com.

The Small Stick
New from Aero Craft Ltd.
Designed by Tom Hunt as a small field aerobatic model, the Small Stick flies like a much larger model. The kit is fully laser cut from high grade balsa and features two full-size computer drawn rolled plans, pre-formed landing gear, and a hardware package.
While most small models eliminate the rudder, The Small Stick incorporates rudder control to allow the model to perform the full spectrum of aerobatic maneuvers. The Small Stick tracks through the air as though it were on rails with handling qualities usually found only in much larger models. Vertical flight performance is possible with the recommended power. Slow flight is a thing of beauty with the Small Stick. Fly-bys at walking speed and nose high landings are easy, and the model exhibits no tendency to drop a wing tip at very slow speeds.
The Small Stick is available direct from Aero Craft Ltd.
* Pilot figure and machine guns are not included.

Polaris Seaplane Parkflyer
Model Aero is very excited to bring you the Polaris seaplane parkflyer! This model, conceived by noted designer Steve Shumate, is a parkflyer adaptation of Laddie Mikulasko's beautiful North Star seaplane. Constructed of laser cut 6 mm Depron foam, the 29" wingspan Polaris features excellent handling qualities, both in the air and on the water.
The versatile Polaris takes off and lands effortlessly on water, grass, or even snow, and it possesses a wide speed range—with the recommended power setup the top speed approaches 70 mph. The model slows down well and can plop down into the water at high alpha under full control at less than 10 mph. The low wing loading ensures very docile flying qualities.
The kit includes all laser cut 6 mm Depron foam, carbon fiber spars, pushrods and control horns, motor mount, and detailed construction guide on CD. The plane builds easily in a few evenings and is suitable for anyone with intermediate flying skills.
Price: $64.95
