The Titan rubber-powered airplane
solves the technical problems of wind-up balsa models. It is
nearly weatherproof and crash-proof, and has adjustable trim surfaces to
control flight pattern. ** Lighweight spring steel frame can be bent slightly to control climb and direction of flight. ** Plastic & spring steel construction survives crashes, puddles, mud. ** Wing releases on impact to prevent damage. ** Brass bearings allow free prop rotation, more power. ** Rubber motor can be wound up to 250 turns for speed and power, is easy to replace. ** Includes special Flight Central instructions for replacing motor with our #378 competition rubber for longer flights |

Flying the Titan
We first flew our Titan on the High School soccer field, amidst mud puddles and a foot of slushy snow. With some experimenting and careful adjustment of the stabilizer and rudder, we got some 100-foot-plus flights, and some graceful spiral flights. We had one full speed head-on crash into the brick school wall. The wing disengaged, we put it back on, and it flew as good as new. Finally, we overwound the motor and it broke. We went home and replaced it with a triple loop of our high energy #378 competition rubber. (Your Titan will include special instructions for flying and replacing the motor.) |
Spring-loaded propeller disengages when motor unwinds to reduce drag during glide. Cone & disc thrust bearings provide friction-free rotation for more power. |

After the field had dried a bit, we went back with our high-power
motor and one of the winders specially designed for the Titan (shown at
right). We got some high-speed, high power flights of up to 300 feet, maybe
even more! As the photo above shows, the Titan is none the worse for wear. We expect to have fun with it for a long time. |
 2:1 hand-crank winder specially designed for the Titan. 120 winds and you are ready to fly! Included free with your order. |
