Alpha 40

Over the years many pilots have learnt to fly using the Hangar9 Alpha trainer.
Now, in line with advances in technology Hangar9 have a completely revised and updated version of this traditional balsa wood constructed high-wing trainer, but with the added advantage of being equipped with the very latest Spektrum 2.4Ghz DSM2 radio system. The Alpha 40 DSM2 ready to fly trainer is the first glow engined trainer to come fully equipped with Spektrum’s DX5e advanced 2.4GHz DSM2 5-channel full-range aircraft system that offers superior performance and freedom from frequency clashes and interference, it also provides a positive secure link for glitch-free performance, the system also includes the Spektrum AR500 receiver.

To compliment this “high tech” package the Alpha 40 has a completely new look and a vibrant new colour scheme that makes it really stand out on the flight line and also helps the new pilot with orientation when the model is in the air.
The model requires no building or gluing and all the modeller has to do is install the landing gear, bolt on the tail-plane and connect the elevator and rudder pushrods, a few minutes work and the fully illustrated assembly guides you through this simple process, the servos - fuel tank and engine are all pre-installed, how easy is that?
The new easy-to-fly Alpha 40 from Hangar9 has got to be the most comprehensive trainer package available and thanks to its gentle, stable, self-righting flight characteristics and the ingenious hassle-free Evolution Trainer Power System it is also the easiest-starting and smoothest-running trainer available making it the perfect model for the novice pilot.

Spektrum’s DX5e

Spektrum’s DX5e advanced 2.4GHz DSM2 5- channel full-range aircraft system offers superior performance and freedom from frequency clashes thereby avoiding the risk of being “shot down” if some-one inadvertently switched on a radio on the same frequency as yours, due to the way this system operates by auto scanning for two clear channels before acquiring these and transmitting to the model that risk is gone forever, along with the risk of various other types of extraneous interference that could often interfere with older radio systems. This latest technology also provides a positive secure link for glitch-free performance and offers a distinct “locked in” feel to your flying coupled with a super fast response time to transmitter inputs resulting in smoother flying, the system also includes the lightweight full range Spektrum AR500 receiver.
Once flight training has been completed, the whole system can be removed and installed in many other types of model including gliders, delta wing models, electric models and thanks to the extra 5th channel the system is perfect for operating retracting landing gear in scale models.
