About Horizon Hobby

Horizon Hobby sells radio control aircraft and equipment for people interested in flying model airplanes and helicopters. Its aviation range includes RC airplanes, helicopters, transmitters and related electronics. The company also sells radio control cars, trucks and boats. Its aircraft products cover different stages of RC flying, from training models to equipment for pilots with more experience.

Radio Control Airplanes

RC airplanes are an important part of Horizon Hobby's product range.

The company sells aircraft intended for different levels of experience and different approaches to model flying.

Its product categories include trainer aircraft, ultra-micro models, ready-to-fly aircraft, bind-n-fly models and almost-ready-to-fly aircraft.

These categories describe different ways of getting started with an RC airplane.

A trainer is intended for someone learning to control a model aircraft. An ultra-micro model is a smaller aircraft type.

Ready-to-fly, bind-n-fly and almost-ready-to-fly products represent different levels of preparation before an aircraft can be flown.

Horizon Hobby also provides radio equipment to match these different aircraft categories.

This makes its aviation range relevant to people learning to fly RC models and those already involved in the hobby.

Aircraft Transmitters and Radios

Horizon Hobby carries Spektrum aircraft transmitters and radio systems.

One example is the Spektrum NX7e+ transmitter. It provides 14 channels, a color display and programming features for RC aircraft.

The company also lists the Spektrum iX20 Special Edition transmitter with 20 channels.

Another product is the Spektrum iX14+ Special Edition, available in combinations with PowerSafe receivers and Synapse equipment.

The listed receiver combinations include 10-channel, 14-channel and 20-channel versions.

These products are used to control radio-operated aircraft.

The transmitter is the equipment handled by the RC pilot, allowing commands to be sent to the aircraft.

Different transmitters provide different channel counts and control options.

Radio Control Helicopters

Helicopters are another part of Horizon Hobby's aviation range.

The company lists the Blade Bell 206 Jet Ranger 90, an ultra-micro radio control helicopter.

This model is presented as an option for learning to fly RC helicopters indoors.

Helicopter flying provides a different type of radio control aviation activity from flying a fixed-wing model airplane.

Horizon Hobby's aircraft and helicopter products give enthusiasts more than one way to take part in RC flying.

Other Radio Control Products

Horizon Hobby also sells RC cars, trucks and boats.

Its wider range includes batteries, chargers, smart technology products and field accessories.

These categories support different parts of the radio control hobby.

The company also publishes content about RC vehicles and new products.

For pilots and aviation fans, Horizon Hobby provides a way to experience flight through radio-controlled models. Its airplanes, helicopters and aircraft radios support people who want to learn RC flying or continue developing their model flying skills.
