Northern Cardinal EPP Foam Slow Flyer 1170mm (46" large wingspan) (Nice Gift for any STL Cardinal Fan!)

The NEW Fortitude V2 gas tanks are here!!!

*Fourtitude has amended their fuel tanks due to federal regulations on shipping fuel containers. Check out the video below to see just how easy it is to assemble the tank!

Make sure to upgrade asap as this new and improved design is the cutting edge of next generation RC gas tanks. You are probably familiar with the old design- with the the line-in and the vent nozzle on the top of the tank and the line running to the engine on the cap. Because there are so many different fitting and sealants, there are alot of places where something can go wrong or start leaking.

The V2 design eliminates ALL of these problems with ONE SIMPLE DESIGN..... ALL nozzles are in the removable cap which has TWO rubber gaskets and is ONE SOLID PIECE, which includes the vent tube and filling tube. Fewer parts = Fewer problems.

Fortitude has hit the target with the V2 Tank and as always, is the best quality you can get!

Fortitude (or 4titude) gas tanks are high quality, crystal clear plastic tanks, that take the guesswork and worry out of your tanks. You can clearly see into the 4titude tank to know if your line is still flexible and your clunk is in place! Fortitude tanks include the foam, the Velcro and the tubing to hook to your engine!

4titude tanks are SUPER light, in fact, the lightest commercially available tanks on the market. They use aerospace grade adhesives to ensure long life. 4titude tanks are also made of seamless plastic, making them fully resistant to splitting!

The included clunk is filtered as well.

V2 Features:

• Injection Molded Single piece glass filled nylon fitting manifold. Light weight extremely strong material that creates a very easy to plumb and compact fuel tank.


• Dual static O-ring seals, designed utilizing the latest aerospace engineering technology, to seal fluid even under high pressure.  V2 has one potential leak point and with the redundant static seals we have double assurance it will never leak.


• Plumbed with a filtered clunk and an extended fill/ drain tube to make it easy to drain the tank completely.


• Zero protrusions/ fittings on the outside of the tank to interfere with tight airframe installations.


• We took care of making sure there is zero guess work involving installation. 3D diagram included with each tank showing how to properly plumb your fuel system for the best results.

Note the length dimension is from the back of the tank to the front of the fitting/tubing barbs.

• Size: 8 ounce (236 ML)
  • Length 5 3/8” x Width 1 7/8" x Height 1 7/8” (136.5 x 49.5 x 49.5 mm)
• Weight: 1 ounce
• Fittings are part of the cap/ internal tubing
• Filtered clunk
• Super light!
• Crystal clear
• Seamless
• Includes: Tank/foam/velcro
• Fourtitude Tanks are compatible with gas engines only. (Not compatible with Glow fuel)

Fortitude tanks are compatible with ALL oils, synthetic and non-synthetic. Fortitude uses PPG Class B sealant. The expert below explains how high tech and quality of a sealant it is:

“PPG Class B is an aircraft integral fuel tank sealant. It has a service temperature range from - 65°F (-54°C) to 250°F (121°C), with intermittent excursions up to 275°F (135°C). This material is designed for fillet sealing of fuel tanks and other air- craft fuselage sealing applications. The cured sealant maintains excellent elastomeric properties after pro- longed exposure to both jet fuel and aviation gas. "

GT-P3T Composite Catapult Launch Glider 1350mm ARF/PNP

The GT2000v2 Powered Glider is a high-performance competition grade glider with light weight carbon fiber and wood construction ideal for precision competition or a gentle relaxing flight. With its elegant wings and carbon fiber fuselage it responds superbly to thermals.

The GT2000v2 version has integrated carbon fiber throughout the model to maximize strength and performance while improving the quality, reducing weight and increasing the performance of glider. Below is a list of improvements from version 1:

• Thinner/lighter fiberglass battery compartment
• Carbon fiber canopy and tail pipe
• Wings constructed with carbon fiber main beam and carbon tube latch with three-stage plug-in structure design for easy transport
• Thinner wings and optimized airfoil to improve gliding performance
• Most accessories are made of carbon fiber with improved strength and lighter weight
• Tail wing incorporates a torsion spring to improve return to center and lighter weight structure

Maximized strength is provided with the carbon fiber tail pipe and carbon fiber reinforced wings so the glider can withstand high speed precise flights setting new standards in the 2M wingspan class. The ailerons and flaps are a wide and long feature, making pin-point landings easy while also improving the launch characteristics and giving the pilot a broad performance spectrum for high speed, aerobatics and thermalling.

The planes docile flying characteristics and excellent performance in the air ensure that the GT2000v2 provides maximum flying pleasure, whether you are a weekend pilot or flying in a competition. You will enjoy floating through the air for long periods, as well as lively aerobatics- all with style and precision.

The model comes as a kit version only due to multiple different power system and competition requirements for pilots. Below are some suggestions:

•  Recommend a motor with reverse shaft and outer diameter of 28mm, such as XM2838 P5B special motor, or higher performance motor
• ·May use standard size 9g servos for the tail and wing; however due to the thin wing must use smaller wing servos such as KST08, GDW1906, or Blue Arrow D0474HT MG for the aileron and flap. The thickness of the servo should be less than 9mm and the torque greater than 2kg.
