Hat Trick RC offers a wide selection of Open and Warbird SSC Designs.  The Patriotic MiniChoker on the left was built by Ron Caravona in late 2002, Mike Fredricks is shown on the right with his ME109 Warbird.  He also offers the P51 Mustang, Hawker Hurricane, and F4U Corsair. These quicks are quick building and fly extremely well.  All foam is CNC cut. Click on either photo to go to Hat Trick RC's web site.

The Lanier Ripper is the SSC edition to the combat series.  Featuring a tough HDPE milled fuselage, foam wing with leading edge cuffs plus numerous high quality parts it is has done well on the combat circuit in 2004.  Click on the photo to go to the Lanier RC web site for the model.

The Panther shown on the left is the latest offering from a well established combat manufacturer, Tufflight.  They also offer Open B Predators and Predator X's.  All are extremely well engineering kits and offer excellent flight performance.  Like the Piranha the Panther can cross over into Open B if the pilot wants to fly two classes with the same plane.  Click on the photo for more information.

I built one of the earliest prototypes of the P51 shown on the left.  It is a very good value in a kit and flies extraordinarily well. It uses the by now legendary JKA construction technique of foam wings, coroplast interlocking tail feathers and a foam fuselage with 2 mil coroplast doublers anchoring the front.  At the top of this page you can go to a link to the construction article on the prototype I built.
