Pro-Line Aerobatic Aircraft & Accessories is here with a good stock of model kits, parts and plans to sell
Fliton is here again this year with a couple of neat new models. The first is their Extra 260 Mini. It's park flyer size with big model performance and it looks great with it's colorful trim scheme over a fully laser cut balsa and plywood structure. It also benefits from carbon fiber reinforcement in high stress areas. The next new model they are displaying is the Element 30 F3A pattern type plane. This model also benefits from Fliton's engineering and construction with a fully laser cut structure with carbon fiber reinforcements. This model also has a unique feature that I hope to see more of. The model has plug in wings and requires no tools or rubber bands to retain the wings. Instead, it uses a spring loaded carbon fiber rod which latches into a laser cut notch in the wing's plywood blade. When the wing is pushed up to fuse, the rod automatically latches in to place. To remove the wing, simply push the rod with your finger to release the wing and slide it off the carbon fiber wing tube. What a great idea!
Directly across the isle is Williams Brothers with their line of scale pilots, dummy engines, wheels and accessories for vintage models.
Lil'Trickler is here with their super easy to use trickle charger. Simply plug it into a 110V AC outlet and you now have 3 outlets you can plug a standard radio wall charger in to and turn them into trickle chargers.
Byron Originals is here as well selling their well known fuel. New rules in place at this year's show prohibited fuel from being sold on the show floor. This forced Byron and several other exhibitors to take fuel orders on the floor with deliveries taking place outside on the loading dock.
Next we see Wildcat Fuels booth who was also affected by the new fuel on the show floor rules.
DTS International is here with their computers and vinyl cutting machines up and running. Need a custom graphic cut right now? They can do it, and were!
