In this year's edition of the annual FMT Adler readers' poll, in which we are among the nominated manufacturers, there is still one month left until the end of voting. You can drop your digital ballot in the mail HERE, and by participating, you automatically enter into a draw for valuable prizes.

We have stocked the OMPHOBBY M5 („550“ class) and M6 („600“ class) high-performance helicopter kits. As with the previous helis, these new models allow the installation of a wide range of electronics for pilots of all categories. They are characterized by perfect steering response and quality workmanship, and the use of up to 90% of the parts common to the M5 and M6 is an undeniable advantage. This makes them very versatile and customisable helicopters. The M5 is designed for 15mm servos, so the KAVAN GO-1035 and GO-11T46 servos are perfect for it. For the M6 it is 20mm servos, so we recommend using GO-12S57 or GO-1180+GO-11T80. The manufacturer also renewed the production of the popular M1 V1 model, which we have in two colour variants.

The cutting-edge flybarless (FBL) unit FrSky VANTAC RF007, which utilises the latest Rotorflight 2.X technology, is now in stock. It has an internal gyroscope, barometer and accelerometer for maximum stability in flight. Whether you choose the version with the built-in Access or Twin 2.4GHz receiver, the RF007 allows for intuitive configuration, seamless real-time tuning via the transmitter V20's interface and provides an extensive range of features.

We have just launched new colour variants of the KAVAN Savage MAX foam park-flyer. The fresh design is based on the same base colours and can be found labelled as "V2". The other elements of the design and the kits remain as proven by the original pieces.

The semi-scale model of a successor to the legendary Albatros has a 1088mm wingspan and is powered by an 80mm brushless EDF. It has excellent flight characteristics that even the most demanding "scale-er" pilots will appreciate. The model is surprisingly stable, docile and has excellent control authority. The carefully tuned position of the suspended undercarriage considerably reduces the take-off speed and is perfect for smooth scale landings on both tarmac and groomed grass surfaces. This also makes the Skyfox viable as a first fan-powered model. It is available in the original Aero grey camouflage or a blank white variant for a custom finish.

We have added a faster and more powerful version of the low-profile KAVAN servo GO-1035MG Plus. The new programmable servo maintains the same dimensions (35.5×15×29.2 mm L×W×H) and weight (45 g) as its predecessor. It has titanium gears, an all-aluminum box, and is especially suited for F3A models, jets, hotliners, or 400–500 class helicopters. With 8.4V power, it achieves a speed of 0.07 s/60° and thrust up to 22 kg·cm. The GO-1035MG Plus, like all GO servos purchased since 1. 1. 2024, is covered by a 3-year extended warranty.

Stop by the KAVAN booth to see the new MKS 12-volt heli servos, FrSky flybarless unit VANTAC RF007, OMPHOBBY M2 EVO mk2, or carbon-composite blades by AzurePower and MS Composit. The new in-preparation transmitters KAVAN V15 and V10 won't be missing too, of course. We are looking forwards to your visit.

In December last year, the Japanese Tsukuba RC Arena (formerly Yatabe Arena) hosted the 9th edition of currently the most prestigious RC drift competition in the world, the All Japan E-Drift Championship 2024. Our colleague and team pilot Václav Jireš had the honour to participate in the three-day event and represent both the Czech Republic and the KAVAN team among 148 top drivers.

We have added a new programmable piece to our range of speed controllers, the KAVAN Smart PRO-45LV with built-in telemetry for brushless motors and 6S LiPo power supply. It has high efficiency, 40 A continuous current and a high quality BEC power stabilizer with adjustable steps of 0.1 V. It offers precise motor control at only 50g and has a range of protection circuits. It also allows configuration directly from the V20 transmitter using the Lua scripts.

We now have the new generation of OMP M2 Evo 3D helicopters in stock. They have a brand new advanced 2in1 control unit OFS3, fully pre-set and easy to use, which you can conveniently tune on the fly via a smartphone app. Beyond that is an even larger and more powerful direct-drive carrier rotor motor. And if you own a first-generation M2 Evo, we'll have conversion packages to the MK2 generation for you soon.

The KAVAN radio control ecosystem is expanding with the new R10 10-channel receiver operating on the Twin 2.4GHz transmission system. It has configurable ports (PWM/SBUS out/FPort/S.Port/SBUS IN), integrated telemetry and is equipped with an advanced interference suppression system for reliable signal transmission up to tens of kilometres. It supports redundant wiring in which both receivers fully operate simultaneously. A smart pairing system, a black box function for writing flight data, and wireless firmware updates make your life easier. The R10 receiver is also available in a variant with an integrated stabiliser, which features high-precision sensors and various user-configurable stabilisation modes.

We have expanded our line of KAVAN Plus speed controllers with a new 120A piece R-120SB Plus SBEC. It is used to control the RPM of recreational and sport model motors. It has a powerful BEC circuit to power the on-board servos and receiver, and has significantly improved throttle response and power stage control efficiency thanks to DEO control technology. Like the other controllers in the Pro series, it offers a wide range of features that are easily set up with the KAVAN Pro programming card.

We have released a brand-new balsa A3-category glider. The simple but powerful Orion builds on the experience gained from smaller hand-launch gliders. It has an adjustable side hook for towing or can be launched by throwing. The kit consists, as you're used to, of precision CNC-cut parts including the white covering fabric, so you'll make do with basic tools and chemicals for the build.

We have released a new tray for the V20 transmitter. The custom-cut counter is available in matte black or translucent satin blue. Together you will also find the new KAVAN cross-over strap with embroidered logo, metal clips, adjustable length and soft shoulder pads.

With Christmas approaching, we have discounted all KAVAN Grip GRE 1:18 and 1:24 mini expedition cars by 20 %.

We have added the new KAVAN Vectopor to our building materials offer. It is a finely porous material based on polypropylene, which you can use for building ultra-light and durable indoors, park flyers, shock flyers and so on. The boards are highly resistant to breaking and tearing, easy to shape and bond with contact or CA glue.

Old ”glider-ers“ used to say that a proper model starts at a wingspan of two and a half metres, or 100 inches. With our new Cumul 100, you will see they were absolutely right. Newly stocked in our hangar, you will find the Cumul 100 high-performance thermal glider. The classic all-balsa construction has a wingspan of 2540 mm, a fibreglass front fuselage and a carbon tail spar. The kit includes servo mounts specially designed for the proven GO-1023MG and GO-1024MG servos. When building, you also have the choice of creating a regular glider or using the electrification kit to make a motor-powered glider.

We are expanding the Smart PRO range with telemetry and performance management products. Smart PRO controllers reliably serve powerful brushless motors and provide telemetry data to your RC kit. They also work with a GPS data logger, mini altimeter/variometer, motor switch, battery switches, or a temperature sensor. All devices can be conveniently set up via the USB-C interface, and allow communication via KAVAN/FrSky FPort, Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2, Graupner SUMD, HoTT, JETI Duplex EX, Multiplex SRXL 12/16CH, PowerBox P²Bus with four- or six-channel decoder.

KAVAN GO servos now have a three-year extended KAVAN warranty, and this extended period also applies to V20 transmitters. The warranty applies to all units sold after 1st January 2024.

We are expanding our GO series with 4 new digital servos. They are low-profile, so they are perfect for large sailplanes and jets. For ground models, they will perfectly complement 1/12 to 1/8 car models - drift, on-roads and off-roads. They're programmable, have steel gears, an aluminium box and can be used in demanding applications. The "66" servos are also IP67 waterproof/dustproof. All GO servos sold since 1/1/2024 are now covered by an extended 3-year KAVAN warranty.
