QUALITY AND SIMPLICITY IN A The Novus name means quality...the fi xed pitch rotor design of the 125 FP means fewer parts and more durability!

The Novus 125 FP comes with all this! ❚ Brushless motor and ESC

❚ Torque tube-driven tail

❚ Heading-hold gyro

❚ 2.4GHz computer radio system with dual rates and digital trims

❚ Digital servos

❚ 3.7V 600mAh LiPo battery

❚ AC wall charger

The Novus 125 FP comes fully assembled, and complete with radio, battery, charger and extra blades.

The Novus 125 FP’s fi xed pitch rotor has fewer parts than collective-pitch helis, for easier maintenance and more durability. The CNC-machined rotor head is aluminum anodized to add good looks to tough construction.

Dual rates on the 2.4GHz radio let you make the transition from coaxial to single rotor in two smaller steps, instead of one big leap.

❚ A heading hold gyro and coaxial rotor design make this the easiest-to-fl y Novus model yet

“THE IDEAL 1ST R/C BOAT!”Mike Zaborowski is more than just an acclaimed R/C boat designer...he’s known as the Grimracer™, an accomplished boat racer with 10 national championships to his credit. So he knows what he’s talking about when he says “the Rio™ EP is the real deal for getting into R/C boating. It’s the perfect size: agile enough to run on

small ponds, but able to handle conditions you’d fi nd on larger lakes too. It’s clean, quiet and ready to run — and because it’s designed in the USA, you can count on the Rio EP to deliver impressive performance. This boat is so much fun, everyone should get one!”

Packed with performance perks! ❚ Tactic™ 2.4GHz radio system — precise, secure control

with no interference and no crystals

❚ Water-cooled motor — to keep running temperatures down and performance and longevity up

❚ Dual breakaway rudders — minimizing damage to the boat in the event of contact with underwater debris

Convenience features galore! ❚ Racer-inspired radio box — provides an unobstructed view

of components, a benefi t that racers appreciate

❚ Battery hold-down included — because you don’t want to discover that you need one when you get to the water

❚ Engineered with a “clean” layout — for quick, easy access when changing batteries and performing maintenance
