Model Aviation Is An Exciting And Affordable Adventure

Imagine having a couple of airplanes, one helicopter, an autogyro and maybe several ultralight trikes and all of that sitting in your room. In fact that's a humble collection of model airplanes - most model aviation fans have tens, sometimes hundreds of models. Some prefer to buy and collect, others build themselves. Some like static scale models which are exact copies of existing airplanes. Others want to control remotely their real flying models.

The model aviation makes all of this possible. And if you love aircrafts like we do the best you can do is to start discovering this wonderful hobby.

Do You Like To Build Or Collect?

There are three main types of model aviators - these who like to collect ready models, these who like to build themselves or those who prefer to do both. We are from the third type, so this site covers both building and collecting.
