Sikorsky Ilya Muromets

Take a look at this beautiful scale Sikorsky Ilya Muromets we saw at Weak Signal Expo last weekend.  The Ilya Muromets (Sikorsky S-22) was designed and constructed by Igor Sikorsky in 1913 and and was named after Ilya Muromets, a hero from Russian mythology. This pre-WWI airplane was intended for commercial use with its large fuselage, but during WWI the space was used to house a strategic bombing unit. The S-22 would become the first four-engine bomber to be equip with this type of weaponry.  The model we looked at was powered by Jeti and AXi. 🙂

Let’s Get Started…

Introducing the Jeti DS-6 Transmitter. This six channel transmitter is a great way to launch into Jeti. The equally amazing DS-6 brings a basic transmitter to the already awesome line of Jeti Transmitters. If the cost of switching over has got you in turmoil, this is the way to go. When this guy hits, it is expected that you will be able to get started in the Jeti world for just a little over $200.00. For those of you who want to teach your kids, or even those adults who want to learn, the DS-6 offers an inexpensive way to do that! You can utilize the wireless trainer function from another Jeti user and save yourself from unwanted landing practice. Keep an eye on the site for more information!
