Learning to fly a radio control gas powered remote
control airplane is one of the most exciting and rewarding
challenges you can undertake. It's a hobby you can enjoy for a
lifetime and will open doors to new experiences and friends you
might have never known otherwise. This is why success during your
first few flights is so important. It lays the groundwork for a
lifetime of enjoyment. With the ready-to-fly Alpha Trainer, your
success is all but assured, thanks to its gentle,
beginner-friendly flight characteristics and an ingenious
Evolution Trainer Power System™ that makes the Alpha the
easiest-starting, smoothest-running trainer available.
Start with Success
A successful first flight doesn't start until the engine does.
Yet many ready-to-fly trainers that claim to be for beginners come
equipped with engines that demand a level of experience most
beginners don't have. This is the magic of the Hangar 9 Alpha's
extraordinary Evolution Trainer Power System. Every Evolution
system's engine is test run and tuned at the factory so a novice
can easily get the Alpha flying right out of the box. No break-in
period. No tedious trial-and-error with the carburetor settings.
Just fuel it up and, with a few flips of the prop, you're flying.
The Power of the Prop
No matter how gentle a ready-to-fly trainer's flight
characteristics, learning to manage speed and power is one of the
biggest challenges for a beginner. The Evolution system uses a
specially designed, three-bladed prop that provides superb climb
performance and slower level-flight speeds at high power settings.
It's a lot quieter too-nearly 4db quieter than a typical 10 x 6
two-bladed prop. What it all adds up to is a trainer that reduces
the beginner's workload by letting him focus more on flying and
less on managing the throttle.
Staying in Tune
Nothing can rattle the nerves when you're learning to fly like
losing the engine in-flight because you can't seem to find the
right carburetor setting. That's why the Evolution system uses a
unique crankshaft flywheel that helps keep the engine running at
low throttle settings by preserving crankshaft momentum. The
carburetor settings are also limited to prevent relatively new
pilots from making tuning mistakes.
The Evolution Revolution: At the heart of the Alpha success story
is the revolutionary new Evolution Trainer Power System. More than
just another engine, the Evolution system is an innovative
combination of propeller and engine technology specifically
designed with the beginner in mind. 1. Canted glow plug tilts glow
driver away from propeller during starts for safer operation.
2. Needle valve limiters guarantee easy starting and reliable
performance.
3. Remotely mounted needle valve for safe, easy adjustment.
4. Flywheel system for easy starting and smooth idle.
5. Whisper-quiet three-bladed training prop for spirited
performance and easily managed airspeed.
Easy Does It
The Alpha comes out of the box completely built and covered
with Hangar 9 UltraCote®. Everything from the power system to
radio control equipment is installed. What little assembly is left
can be accomplished in minutes using the easy-to-follow manual.
Once airborne, you'll be treated to the Alpha's gentle
self-righting flight characteristics that make it easy to master
the basics as well as recover from "sticky" situations.
Quality Control
To get the Alpha flying, you'll need to provide a glow driver,
fuel and fuel pump. Hangar 9's Start-Up Field Pack provides
everything except the fuel in one convenient package.
The Alpha is equipped with a sophisticated J-Line™ Quattro radio
control system that was designed by JR-the leader in quality R/C
technology. The receiver, rechargeable receiver battery pack and
all the servos for moving the controls are installed for you. The
Quattro transmitter included with the system is easy to operate
and provides smooth precise control. In fact, you can use it with
other sport airplanes after you learn to fly the Alpha.
The world of radio-controlled flight offers all kinds of
adventures. If you're someone who's looking to begin the quest for
adventure with a plane of your own, you've got a lot to look
forward to. Start with success. Start with the Alpha Trainer from
Hangar 9.
