In stock.
We are very happy to announce an all new line of carbon folding props and 30mm spinners from CCM in Ukraine.
The props have been meticulously designed to provide a fantastic fit on many modern F5J models. The spinners mount via "grub" or set screws, this allows the plastic cone to be much more aerodynamic. There is no hole in the tip of the cone or screw head exposed. Each F5J spinner comes with a white and black cone.
As well there will be plastic cones for the 25mm F5K spinners. Dramatically reducing the cost.
30mm F5J spinners will be available in 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm shaft sizes.

In all my years of soaring I have not really tried F3B. A few times in the mid to late 90s. Recently I went to a F3B clinic, one contest, and the USA Team Selection event.
F3B is extremely labor intensive with setup, winches, line, batteries, etc... It's not a surprise that interest in this sector has waned. That is a sad and unfortune thing because the flying is pretty intense! I wish I could practice speed runs all day!
I was flying a Samba Model Pike Precision 1, which I feel is just about as solid as you could want for an "intro" model.
Enjoy the photos and video!

A 1.2 meter span RC flying wing designed
]]>
We have the first bit of information on the CCM Riddick.
A 1.2 meter span flying wing designed for the slope and dynamic soaring. More information coming soon along with the first sample model. Below is what we know now and some words from CCM.
The model will be available in several versions-
Hard- For strong front side slope soaring and DS
Standard- For light front site slope soaring and thermal flying
Electric- For all around fun and thermal flying.
From CCM-
This is a symbolic model for us. The production had started just before russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. The model was developed and designed during constant moving from one city to another all over Ukraine, as initially there were fights and shelling in our region.
We had to go on doing what we liked in order to support Ukrainian army and economy as well as maintain war-life balance.
Riddick Model is the result of our collaboration with a very talanted guy – Mario Perner. He has developed an amazing and aggressive in its way design of the model that encourages flying on the slope and speeding. When our team saw RIDDICK for the first time, there was no doubt – we have to make it live. And we did that. We lifted it up into the sky.
Welcome to our world of CMM models!

People laughed at me when I invented the "plane cozy". When the wind came up and their fragile F5J planes got tossed around and damaged while sitting on the ground, that laughter turned to tears.

After a few years of development, CCM in Ukraine have finalized their all new "Libery" glider. I'm not sure what's up with the name, but that is actually how it is spelled.
This thing will be typical CCM quality (outstanding) and is one of the few models on the market that is still hollow molded (wings). The tail parts are the same as the Optimus Sport and are easy to remove for transportation. Wing span is 3.86 meters and is 3 pieces. The Libery has an all new wing design and airfoils designed in house.
One of the coolest features is the crazy two piece fuse. The boom can be removed from the pod and the servos stay with the pod. The pushrods seem to have clamps to mate and hold them together. Take a close look at the pictures for the details. I am fairly certain F3J versions will have a 1 piece fuse and that the boom and pod will have to be glued together. (winch launching forces are very great!)
The model is available in several versions. More details soon. There will be-
F5J

All new for 2021.
The Eternity F5J is a stunning new model from Bohuslav Majerčík in Slovakia.
The Eternity replaces the Infinity F5J and it is a radical departure from the fairly low aspect ration of the old Infinity. The Eternity wing is high aspect ratio with thin airfoils across all panels.
The best part of this model is ease of transportation! 4 piece wing design and 2 piece fuselage. Of course a 2 piece removable V-tail. From what we hear the V-tail design is similar to the Infinity, so it should be a breeze to assemble at the field.
ETA for first shipment will be posted here. Please email us to reserve a model.
From Bohuslav-
Latest design from our years of experience in F5J, multi-dihedral wing for easy control in each flying condition.
Special low drag wing airfoil by Dirk Pflug , special 5 different airfoils which are used on Eternity Wing.
Wing area : 74,42 dm2 V tail area : 7,52 dm2.
Airfoil thickness in root rib 7,8% , middle to tip 6,9%
Wing is 4 panel , 2 piece fuselage , 2 piece V tail.
2 piece fuselage , front part possible 2,4 friendly
Easy to travel, the shipping box has inside dimensions of 1200x280x100mm.
Easy to assemble at the field , no tools needed , just tape / push parts together and tape.
Both ailerons are controlled with one servo, and a special connection system reduces any torsional stress during movement.
Ballast placed in the middle of wing, for fast and easy access
Wing is constructed with solid core technology in aluminum molds , during production all parts are post cured to high temperatures.
Nose of the fuselage was designed by George Mirov famous producer competition propeller.
Servos for the tail are located in the tail boom where it meets with the pod.
Pre-installed IDS + in the middle part of the wing inbuilt special high temperature resistant teflon cable, to reduce time during build.
Servo bays in the wing are completely molded in, full carbon caps, master piece of technology.
V-tail lovers will be happy to hear the venerable Prestige 2PK is now available with a V-tail. We have some spare booms and V-tails arriving in a few weeks. Check out the pics below!
PIKE PARADIGM, GPS SPORT MODEL
Our new project, which we are currently working on intensively, is PIKE Paradigm. This model is designed by Philip Kolb and Benjamin Rodax. The model is designed for the GPS Sport category, which is very well developed in Europe. Also it is great for slope alpine flying or flying for fun anywhere because it has an electric motor. The model will have a wingspan of 4726 mm, three-part wings. Diameter for spinner will be 38 mm. PIKE Paradigm will be the first model in this size category which will be made with full Rohacell core technology. Thanks to this technology, Pike Paradigm can be produced much stronger compared to sandwich technology at the same RTF weight. On the beginning it will be made with cross tail and later also as V tail version.
The expected date for commercial sales is the end of 2021 - the beginning of 2022

CN-Models keeps churning out new goodies for us. We have four all new slim carboweave carbon fiber folding props. Two sizes for F5K and two for F5J. To hold on to these props CN has updated their F5J spinners. They now offer "U" spinners, which means you can change the 30mm and 32mm cones between some of them without buying a complete spinner. We will stock spare cones soon.
The biggest improvement with the "U" spinners is that the blade mounts are further away from the back of the spinner. Thus giving the prop more room to fold flush against your fuselage. For modern F5J models go for the "Pro" version. If you have a sport model or an older model with a portly fuse, get the standard as the distance between the prop blades is 28mm compared to 24mm on the Pro.

All new from CCM, the Vantage! Available in 3 layup options. F3F, F3B, and F3J.
Taking orders now! Email us for details.
The VANTAGE is a pure competition model specially designed for the F3F class. The aim of the development was to give the competition pilot a “vantage” over the competition especially in medium to weak weather conditions.
It is intended to sensibly expand the fleet of a competition pilot, not replace it. Following the current trend, the VANTAGE is therefore not necessarily designed as a classic allrounder, but rather as a specialist for certain conditions. But it is precisely this specialization that makes the VANTAGE so interesting even for the ambitious hobby pilot.
Because let’s be honest: How often do you stand on a slope or on the coast and really have THE hammer conditions for world record flights?
During the development of the model, we drew on a wealth of experience and feedback from some of the best competition pilots in the F3F class. Countless competition flights were also analyzed.
In this way, specific accents (fuselage design, aspect ratio, …) could be set and completely new profiles for the wing developed.
Special attention was paid to an excellent performance in the lower and medium lift range without having to accept significant losses in real speed flight.

All new servo from Blue BIrd. Developed for F5J.
BMS-M15V Wing Servo
We believe the M15V has the potential to become the new benchmark servo for F5J and many other sailplane applications. Similar in size to the 115HV, the M15V features an all metal case and a magnetic sensor instead of a traditional potentiometer.
The M15V is precise, and offers another level of durability. In addition it is extremely quiet with no "buzz". It features a servo lead that is removable. You have the option of soldering this lead directly to your wing harness to help reduce weight in your model.
Servo trays are being developed but it will fit in 115HV frames with slight modifications.
We have extensively tested this servo in our Prestige 2PK F5J model with fantastic results.

F5J type spinner
The "PRO" version is 24mm from prop pin to prop pin. This is narrower than most spinners and is designed to accommodate the latest flush or slim fitting props.
The standard version is 28.5mm from prop pin to prop pin. About the same distance as most spinners on the market.
High quality and robust spinner from CN-Models. Precision machined hub and clamp with durable injection molded spinner cap. The clamping design does not mar or damage the motor/gearbox shaft like set screws. Available in 30 and 32mm diameters with various motor shaft sizes.

The GCM Vertigo is now in production! Please email us to reserve your model.
Details-
The GCM Vertigo is the pinnacle of F5J design. Several years in development this model has been extensively prototyped and tested in Europe and the USA. The airfoil is a modified SynergJ section and features a hybrid of the latest construction techniques. Several iterations of wings, tails, and fuselages were designed prototyped and tested before the final version was put into production.
The solid core wing tips and tail are very stiff and lightweight reducing mass where it is most important. The Center panel is hallow, thus allowing for a lighter and stiffer part compared to comparable solid core center panels.
Construction-
