Our customers proudly present what they have built with WES-Technik components

April 2008

This beautiful mini Sopwith Tabloid is a semiscale model built by
Andreas Locher in Switzerland with labor of love for deatil. The original plane
has been built in 1915. This lifelike model has an airborne mass of
only 25,68g at a wingspan of 32cm. The Tabloid is powered by 2 Pagermotors
which are connected to one gearbox. The powersupply is guaranteed by 1 LiPo cell.

Dr. Renato Mandl, member of the RC-modeller club Klagenfurt (Austria) has provided us with an excellent videosequence of his new Little Bee powered by a carbondioxid (CO2) motor. Just watch - and especially listen to the clip and enjoy the sound of this tiny little piston engine - simply drop-dead gorgeous. This effect can only be beaten by the sound when all four Little Bees of the club members fly together at the same time, Renato is crazy about it. He adds that the sound is even greater when you listen to them in real flight compared to the video sound. The power ot fthe 85mm³ Rainimot 85 engine is enough to let the Little Bee climb nearly vertical ! A fueltank filled with 5cm³ is good for about 5 min flying fun. -
Thanks Renato for this great report !

Dick Comber, a well known and skilled modeller lives in Southhampton
Dick sent us pictures from his beautiful US Coast Guard C130 with 823mm wingspan. The total weight of this 4 engine model is 220g using modified WES-Technik Light Servos, MPX Pico Rx and a Micro 10 controller. The power source are 3 LiMnO2 batteries.

Adapted LS-2.4 servo no doubt -
the C130 flies beautiful!
Congratulation Dick!

Uli Sigloch, a friend of WES-Technik lives close to Stuttgart in Germany.
When Uli presented his Pitts to us I immediately took my digital camera and took some pictures of this beautiful scale plane. Due to the fact that Uli builds every little detail perfect the weight of the model reaches nearly 300g.
Ulis Pitts is equipped with 4 LS-2.4, a Multiplex Pico receiver and a Micro 6 speed controller.

Gerard Jumelin is one of those discerning magazine writers who know what they are writing about because he is a very skilled model builder and flyer!
Gerard has built a lovely Little Bee and reported on his experience in the French magazine RCM June 98. His Bee is equipped with 2xLight servo LS-2.4, Micro DC5-2.4, 1:8,3 gear; 23x12 carbon prop , JMP 7 speed controller and 8 cells 50mAh NiCd. Total weight is 92g.

Gerards reported about his first RC-Home Flyer pretty similar to the WESPE in RCM April 97 with full size plans. The beautiful design of the Cupidon carries his trademark as a Professor for in Paris. It is equipped with 2xLight servo 3.8g, Micro DC5-2.4, 1:7,5 gear; 23x12 carbon prop and 8 cells 50mAh NiCd. Cupidon was 120g "heavy"

As far as I know the first Indoor Triplane? was built by Gerard in late 97 and a detailed building report including full size plans was published in RCM February 98. The model is called "Raid débil" and has again peculiar characteristics. It flies with 2xLight servo 2.7g, Heino Jung 1.8g controller and 8 cells 100mAh and weighs 150g in the air.

"Twisteuse" is how Jean-Marie Piednoir has named the frirst Horten Flyer for Indoor use. It is not difficult to recognize that Jean-Marie (the one with the yellow jacket) is an excellent engineer and a very experienced model builder and flyer.

If you want to know all "secrets" about this wonderful plane then have a look inside the RCM magazine February 98 - you will even find a full size plan!

With a wingspan of 1300mm the Twisteuse weighs a mere of 125g! and is driven by a WES-Technik propulsion set No. 2 = Micro DC5-2.4 with gear 1:11.8. It is equipped with 2xLight servo 3.8g, Micro DC5-2.4, 1:7,5 gear; 23x12 carbon prop, a self made 2A controller and 7 cells 50mAh NiCd.

RC-Home Flying has nothing to do with jets? wrong - Dimitris Vardiambassis & Nikolas Makrakis from Crete have kindly sent us a very nice picture which shows how they play with a full size Mirage F1G under repair.
Dimitris is our new representative for Greece!

Their Swietty Bees are equipped with 2xLight servo 2.4, Propulsion No. 1a, Carbon Prop 23x12, Multiplex Pico 3/4 Rx, 0,7g JMP speed controller. With 8 cells 50mAh they weigh less than 90g and fly about 7min.

Eric Parsonage is one of the Indoor Flyer group in Adelaide South Australia.

Eric told us that there is a very active and as far as we know with nearly 30 active fellows the biggest Indoor Flyer group worldwide. Eric and his friends meet twice a month in a local gym to test their fantastic and innovative planes. Eric has developed and built about 10 Indoor Flyers of different kinds since early 1998 !

Walter here are some photos of my latest airplane using your equipment it is a 16" (410mm) wingspan biplane it uses 2 of your LS3.0 servos and a Micro DC5-2.4, 1a propulsion unit all up weight is 70g. I use 7 x 100 mah NiMh cells duration is about 8 minutes. I hope you enjoy seeing your products used in this way.

(Rune used a WESPE kit, 2xLight servo 3.5, Micro DC5-2.4, gears, Simprop receiver,
JMP 7 speed controller, 23x12 carbon prop and batteries from WES-Technik)

Jorge Attwell sent us pictures from San Luis, Argentine

As far as we know, up to now there is only one RC-Slow Fly expert in Argentine - named Jorge Attwell - but we surely know he is a very active one and a good WES-customer since 2 years.
Jorges beautiful Fokker biplane is equipped with a Micro DC 5-24, 1:5; 7 cells 50 mAH, 1.8g controller
CETO 35MHz receiver, modified carbon prop with 7ìnch diameter and two WES 3.5 servos.

Jorges lovely daughter Cecilia is proud about her fathers little aeroplane even if she requests a scale Bleriot XI model.
My experience has shown that sooner or later daddies fulfil their daughters wishes ?!

Thanks Jorge for sending us this really nice pictures!

Ahmad Shaifuddin reports from Malysia:
As far as I know, here in Kuala Lumpur, we currently have five people now currently in r/c slow flying.

You can see my faithful WESPE (my first slow flyer), Micro DC 5-24, 1:7.5, 7 cells 50 mAH, Type 9 controller
now flying with the CETO and your 2.7 servos. Very good flyer.

The Bleriot XI is fitted with Micro DC 5-24, 1:7.5, Type 9 controller and my original stripped Nano and 3.7 servos
that used to be in the WESPE. With the 7 cells 120 mAH and polystyrene pilot it weighs about 150g.
It has scale working suspension, note that the elevators are split and all moving as per the original version.
Everything was scratch built by me including the wheels.

Thanks to Walter for the inspiration to build it!

Not only the Home-Flyer freaks but also the helicopter community keeps us informed about their new developments

Alexander van de Rostyne, one of the most experienced RC heli pilots in Belgium
is not only a WES-Technik customer since years -but he became a real friend of us!
In March 1997 he finished his first micro heli = Pixel I with only 129g total weight incl. canopy!
It is equipped with 2xLight servo 3.5, Micro DC5-2.4, Yellow 6 receiver, 1.8g Jung speed controller, and batteries from WES-Technik

Only half a year later Alexander set a new record with Pixel II with an unbelieveable weight of 99,5g incl. 8x50mAh cells. It is equipped with 2xLight servo 2.7, Micro DC5-2.4, CETO FM receiver,
0.7g JMP speed controller from WES-Technik

In January this year Alexander presented his "heavy" heli Pixel III to us, it weighs 270g! but in the meantime he is back to develop an even lighter heli than Pixel II) I do really not want to bet where Alexanders limits are!?

This beautiful Micro-helicopter has been built by Chris Stewart from London. In real life he cruises round the world with business jets.

This 115g "heavy" vehicle can only be built by a very experienced modeller.
(Chris used 2xLight servo 2.4, 2xMicro DC5-2.4, gears, CETO receiver, JMP speed controller, batteries from WES-Technik). Do you like to see the plan of this beauty? click here ->

Dear Ms. & Mr. Scholl,
I am sending an in-flight picture of my Concept EP helicopter with your Light Servo 3.5 mounted on the tail. Actually, the servo is visible on the picture. I have already flown over 200 sorties with this arrangement. Despite of small size, the power of the servo is sufficient for good tail rotor control authority on this1050 g helicopter.

Thank you and best regards,
