SPEEDBIRDS

The Speedbirds division of Auto Imagination is devoted to the production of exciting high performance model aircraft. Our first two scale models are an F18 Hornet and the SR71 Blackbird. Both models are produced using a lightweight hollow composite construction of glass/carbon, epoxy, foam sandwich. Surface finish is built in and with the Blackbird includes all panel lines and wing corrugations faithfully reproduced. Clear canopies and water slide transfers are included.

Both models are ARTF with DVD instructions to guide you through fitting components, setting up and flying. These models will be available in the winter of 2007. If you would like to register your without obligation interest in purchasing one of these models please e-mail me. Watch this site for further updates.
