About RabidModels
There is just something about a scale model that sets it apart from the others!
And twin motors are really special - they instantly demand attention from the crowd.
With a few exceptions, our kits produce profile scale models of twin-engined WW-II warbirds.
But our airplanes don't have flat wings like most foamies - ours have formed airfoils, so they look really good and fly very well.
The true to scale outlines make our models instantly recognizable in the air by anyone who is familiar with the full-size aircraft.
You will probably notice that our product line leans towards the famous and unusual - we like to be unique!
Our profile model kits are lightweight laser-cut foam and are relatively easy to assemble.
These are simple kits - but with some skill and craftsmanship our customers have produced some really fine-looking models.
Any R/C pilot who is a warbird fan will really enjoy building and flying our models!
Why be ordinary?
Click on the links on the left side of the page to explore our website. "Kits" provides a list of our products
along with pricing, pictures, videos, and other information.
The "Latest Updates" column is provided so that you can see what changes have been made since the last time you visited. If you have questions, please see the "FAQ" section
(Frequently Asked Questions) section first - but if you don't see the answer, please email us at: info@rabidmodels.com.
We also have a page with more detailed information and tips about all our models - we call it our "BLAUGH".
Our 28" models were specifically designed for the inexpensive GWS "IPS" brushed motor with a direct-drive 3x2 prop.
They are well suited to indoor venues, but will fly fine in calm outdoor conditions.
Typically used with a 400 - 700 mAh 2-cell Lipoly battery and a single 5A brushed speed controller, they weigh in at around 6 oz.
They can also be used with 10gm brushless motors and 5" props.
We also have larger versions of many of our planes, which are terrific "park fliers" outside and can also be flown in larger indoor venues (such
as that used by the JR Indoor Electric Festival in Columbus OH,
or the KIEF Keystone Indoor Electric Fly in Muncy PA. These models have great performance with small (24g) brushless motors,
but can also use brushed gear-drive motors such as the GWS EPS300C system. All the large models are scaled to the GWS 9x7 3-bladed propeller for outstanding appearance.
Of course, we have a few planes that don't fit into either category. And we also sell motors and accessories, and HYPERBOND CA glue.
