Miscellaneous

We’ve featured quite a few Brando products over the years – you know, the type of cheap gadgets from Asia that you buy online. Some of them are a bit of novelty items and others are quite useful.

Here’s another player in that crowded field: Efo from efo.buy-lowest.com .

They’ve send us a bunch of low cost items that are worth a mention.

This is the fourth of seven remote controlled electric planes that we intend to review in separate detailed reviews on this site.  The others being the Apprentice 15e (completed), Hobby zone Champ (completed), Mini Super Cub (completed), Super Cub LP, Trojan T28, and the new Cessna Classic 500 (“big papa”) which we expect to be delivered during July.  Meanwhile, the Cessna 182 is certainly a lovely looking plane, with great attention to detail and possessing a high build quality.

Find me a replacement aeroplane for this model as we have just been advised by manufacturers that this RC plane has now been discontinued.  Oddly enough, we don’t see that Hobbyzone have anything to replace it with.  Perhaps they are of the opinion that the larger Super Cub LP can do what the little brother did??  Nevertheless, we will still review the Mini Super Cub as we see it currently filling a gap in the market place which will need to be substituted by something equally as capable.

What is the substitute planes name?

This is the second of seven remote controlled electric planes that we intend to review in separate detailed writings on this site.  The others being: the Apprentice 15e (completed), Mini Super Cub, Super Cub LP, Trojan T28, Cessna 182 and the new Cessna Classic 500 culminating in a final article with a final comparison grid on all planes.  Our intention is to also review other peripheral equipment associated with RC planes such as Simulators and Performance batteries but interrelating the peripherals where they are best suited, ie a review on the Phoenix simulator will be with the Trojan T28 as it is one of the aeroplanes you can actually fly in the Simulator programme. 

The little Hobbyzone Champ arrived today so let’s look at the second plane in the review series supplied by www.rchobbies.com.au.

This is the first of the seven RC Electric planes, peripheral equipment and add-ons supplied by www.rchobbies.com.au.  We intend to do seven separate in-depth reviews over the next few months - on the E-flite Apprentice 15e, Hobbyzone Champ, Mini Super Cub, Super Cub LP, Trojan T28, Cessna 182 and the new Cessna Classic 500 with a final comparison grid on all planes.  Hence, we were very pleased when the Apprentice 15E arrived at our door a day or so earlier than expected. 

As described in the “Upcoming Reviews”, we will be evaluating the planes from both a true beginner as well as from an expert perspective and will report on all sorts of info in areas that you are unlikely to have seen in other reviews, ie space required to fly each plane as a beginner pilot or an experienced one, take off and landing distances, type and condition of landing medium required for that plane, peculiarities of flight, advantages of Li-Po performance batteries, up market DX6i transmitter, simulators, and Swallow EQ chargers to mention but a few.  We are hopeful of covering everything that anyone wanting to fly RC electric would need to know.

So let’s get started!
