Moses Magnets
These tiny to miniscule size magnets are nickel plated rare earth magnets
used by model builders for securing removable wings, nose blocks, or other
plane parts that will survive a hard landing because they simply detach
from the fuselage upon impact. Although very small and light, these magnets
are extremely powerful. Click on each image to see larger view. Read Dave's
how-to on picking and installing Moses Magnets. (File may take a few seconds

Rubber Motors
Rubber motors are sold in lengths of 32 feet. We carry 3 types

is used in most of our rubber powered kits; FAI SuperSport
rubber which is popular with competitive fliers and used in
all our ProDesign
kits; and FAI TAN2 rubber for the ultimate in competitive
flying. Note: TAN2 rubber is no longer manufactured so once
our very limited supply is gone there is no more.

Winders for Rubber Powered Planes
Choose from 3 gear ratios.
|
The yellow winders are
made by KP in the United Kingdom. You can choose from 15:1
or 10:1 gearing. They look the same on the outside but the
gearing on the inside determines the number of winds on the
rubber motor for each turn of the crank.

|
 |
This blue and
white winder is a 5:1 winder. One turn of the crank results in
5 winds on the rubber motor.
