Top Flite Stinson Reliant SR-9 Airplane Model Kit

Stinson Reliant logo

Giant Scale, Gold Edition Stinson

 

This classic is our largest kit ever!

Between the dark days of the Depression and WWII an aviation legend was born. The brainchild of E.A. “Eddie” Stinson, the SR-9 was a class act, a “looker” with style, yet designed to go the distance in powerful, practical performance. But more than a stylish aircraft with staying power, the SR-9 was a shining example of pride and excellence in craftsmanship, a combination celebrated in Top Flite’s kit for the Scale Craftsman.

  • Rewards craftsman builders’ investments of time, talent and TLC with a sport scale masterpiece that flies as good as it looks
  • Ideal for detailing! Created with plans scaled from exacting 3-views
  • Includes preformed ABS parts: a radial cowl; gear, strut and tailwheel fairings; wheel pants; and inspection plates
    Large Wingspan image
    Just as the full-size SR-9 was in its heyday, Top Flite’s 100.5″ span version offers larger-than-life looks blended with solid, powerful performance.
  • Features all-wood parts, Gold Edition-engineered for better fits, greater strength and simpler structures
  • Eases transportation problems with a 2-piece wing design—and access to hidden wing bolts in the cabin with cabin doors that open!
  • Provides servo mounts in each wing panel to shorten and tighten linkages, and speed and strengthen control response
  • Compatible with a wide range of finishing methods for authentic Golden Age good looks
  • Wing blends from a “Clark Y” airfoil at the root to a Selig 8036 airfoil to provide comforting stability and graceful aerobatics
  • Adapts to a wide range of 2-stroke, 4-stroke and gasoline engines for customized performance. Perfect with an O.S. FT 160 Twin

2-piece wing image

A 2-piece, plug-in wing provides a practical solution to transportation realities, and reinforcement to an already strong wing attachment system.

Cabin Interior image

The optional Cabin Interior Kit (TOPQ8409) adds a wealth of detail for a modest investment. Ideal for building in or adding on.

Improvements make this gull-wing warrior even more realistic and easier to build

Top Flite has updated the kit that introduced Gold Edition engineering in 1991—and enabled the average modeler to succeed with complex scale structures, like the famous Corsair gull wing. Any intermediate to experienced builder is sure to enjoy this project.

  • Ribbed tail surfaces appear realistically fabric-covered when finished; concealed linkages, precision-formed details, injection-molded cowl and decals add more realism
  • Right thrust has been engineered into the firewall to help align the engine quickly and correctly
  • The fuselage has been modified to easily accept the optional, highly detailed scale Corsair Cockpit Kit (TOPQ8404)
  • Comes with Great Planes’ 60/120 engine mount to accommodate more engine sizes
  • The updated photo-illustrated instruction manual which covers all construction details, including addition of optional flaps and retracts is even more “builder-friendly” than before
  • Loops and rolls with all the dogfight agility of the original warbird
Flaps

Only modest assembly skills are needed to build this Corsair and its distinctive gull wing. The included instruction manual also explains how you can easily add such impressive features as these 3-piece flaps.

Flying Tail

Ribs on the Corsair’s elevators and rudder provide a realistically fabric-covered appearance when finished with Top Flite MonoKote® film. Tail control linkages are concealed internally to preserve the scale lines.

Spitfire MKlX Airplane Kit

Spitfire MkIX logo Gold Edition

Gold Edition version of the famous British warbird

Spitfire MkIX photo
Developed in 1942 to equalize the threat of the German Focke Wulf, the Spitfire MkIX proved to be a key factor in England’s air defense. Top Flite has now brought the Spitfire MkIX to life in a stunning R/C kit. By combining the Spitfire’s rich combat heritage with Gold Edition assembly ease and authenticity, Top Flite has created a superb reproduction of a vintage aircraft.

  • Perfectly fitting, CAD-engineered wood parts ease building, with very little carving necessary
  • A precision-formed ABS cowl, wing fairings and exhaust stacks, along with a clear canopy and many other details, supply impressive scale realism
  • An elliptical wing with Selig airfoil provides stable, forgiving warbird flight
  • An extensive hardware package, complete with wire rod-in-tube pushrods, comes with the kit, along with a high-quality, photo-illustrated manual and full-size plans
  • Many detailed accessory options are available

Retracts

Heavy-duty, formed 3/16″ wire landing gear is provided, or you can add standard retract gear. The realism extends to authentic retract movement-the gear pulls back at a slight backward angle, true to the full-scale fighter.

Builtup

The wing leading edge comes preshaped-and overall, there’s extremely little carving required. The Spitfire’s all-balsa exterior provides the ideal surface for easy finishing. Top Flite includes a generous supply of high-quality hardware.

Engine

With Top Flite’s optional In-Cowl Muffler (TOPQ7915), you can enhance scale accuracy by concealing your 2-stroke, .61-.75 engine in-cowl. Requires also using Top Flite’s Muffler Header for O.S.® (TOPQ7920), SuperTigre® S-Series (TOPQ7925) or G-Series (TOPQ7926) engines.

Tail

The scale tailwheel location is only one example of Top Flite’s attention to realism. The rudder and elevator surfaces are ribbed-and after covering film is applied, they appear to be authentically fabric-covered.

Retracts control

The Spitfire’s fuselage is large enough for straightforward radio gear installation-and it still allows plenty of room for the optional scale cockpit kit and retract air tank. The kit’s instruction manual explains how to install retracts step-by-step.

Flaps

This model lets you carry the scale realism as far as you like, with numerous accessories and building options available. For example, the detailed, photo-illustrated instructions explain how to create these operational split flaps.

Cowl

All surface detail typical of the WWII Spitfire MkIX is provided with Top Flite’s Gold Edition model-notice, for example, the exhaust stacks along the kit’s nicely fitting, precision-formed ABS cowl.

Optional Cockpit Kit

An optional, precision-formed scale Cockpit Interior Kit (TOPQ8403) for the Spitfire MkIX is also available. Easy to install, the kit includes seat, instrument panel and many other impressive details-a great addition to your model!

T-34B Mentor Airplane Kit

Top Flite Sea Fury
Top Flite T-34B Mentor 1/5 Scale
Take flight with an American military classic trainer!

For almost 50 years the T-34 Mentor was a primary trainer for new U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots. Though many full-size Mentors still exist today, there are few R/C models of this plane around. But Top Flite is proud to announce the unveiling of a 1/5 scale replica of this legendary trainer that performs as realistically as it looks. With its Gold Edition engineering and lots of scale touches, this T-34 Mentor makes for a proud addition to your military model hangar.

  • The fuselage and wings are fully sheeted in 3/32″ balsa for added strength, while the tail section is sheeted in 1/16″ balsa for lighter weight.
  • The cowl and tail cone are made of heavy-duty ABS plastic for durability.
  • Selig 3086 and 3087 airfoils deliver comforting stability for smooth flight and basic aerobatics.
  • The large canopy can be installed to slide open and closed, and can be enhanced with a full cockpit kit (TOPQ8413) and 1/4 scale pilot figures
  • Performance options include operational flaps and retractable landing gear.

Sea Fury Airplane Kit

Top Flite Sea Fury
.61-.91 Size, 1/7 Scale Sport Model Kit

Top Flite Sea Fury

From warrior to winning racer.

In 1942, Britain’s Royal Air Force saw the need for a good long-range fighter…but it was the Royal Navy which picked up the Fury and introduced it to their Air Fleet in 1948. Christened “Sea Fury,” it proved a capable warrior, and in 1949 set a speed record flying from London to Rome. No surprise, then, that the former warbird is often seen today at such events as the Reno Air Races—which in 1999 featured eight Sea Fury contenders.

  • CAD-engineered wood parts interlock perfectly for fast, easy assembly—fiberglass cowl and ABS details add impressive realism with minimal effort.
  • Dual aileron servos simplify set-up, add precision to control response, and provide the safety of a backup in case one servo fails.
  • An effective combination of Selig 8036 and 8037 airfoils offers a slow stall speed, excellent stall resistance and superior handling throughout the rpm range.
  • Top Flite’s attention to realism in this Gold Edition kit extends to placing the tailwheel at the scale location—and including tips in the instructions for creating an arrestor hook and 5-bladed static display prop.
  • Heavy-duty wire landing gear is provided, or you can add optional, standard pneumatic retracts—available custom-designed for this kit from Century Jet Models and from Robart.
Flaps

Carry the Sea Fury’s scale realism as far as you like, with numerous accessories and building options available. For example, the kit’s detailed, photo-illustrated instruction manual shows how to build these striking split flaps—which are fully operational!

The hand-laid, gel-coated fiberglass cowl is strong, lightweight, and a good example of the quality found throughout this kit. Top Flite also includes many easy-to-install ABS details—radiator scoop, wing blisters, landing gear doors.
