Dear Modeller,
Our name stands for first class scale models, designed to give endless pleasure. The average
modeller will be able to build and fly them without difficulty.
1976 Obtained the exclusive import rights for the Quadra motor in Germany, this was the
beginning of the large models era.
1980 Gerhard Reinsch became my partner. Gerhard had just obtained his degree as an
Aircraft Designer, he has been consumed with the desire to build model aircraft for as
long as he can remember
1984 We imported the first Titan ZG 38, and this motor was a winner from the start.
We are a direct marketing company, this is the reason we can offer the finest quality
products at very competitive prices.

lightweight aircraft with weights between that of the

the Piper in coming.

Weight: 7,5-8,5 kg

Our CAP 21 is designed for large model aerobat-
ics and is especially light, but in spite of this is very
strong. It can be best described as being of simple
construction. Nevertheless our CAP 21 is scale in
every detail. Due to this simplicity the model goes
together in a surprisingly short time.
The wing is of conventional construction. That
is to say, spars, ribs and fully planked with 2 mm
Balsa sheeting. The wing is built in one piece, a two
piece wing of the same strength would increase the
weight to an unacceptable level. The full-size CAP
is an all wood airplane, our CAP also, with the fu-
selage being a simple Balsa box construction with
a half round Turtle deck. The CAP is totally unsuited
for Fiberglass with it’s flat fuselage sides. But the
motor cowl, wing root fairings, the wheel spats and
tailplane center section fairing are made with very
lightweight epoxy and glass cloth. As with the full
size CAP all the control surfaces on this model are
shrouded. The ailerons have spindle moulded lead-
ing edges with matching wing trailing edges. The
leading edges of the rudder and the elevators are
vacuum formed. The kit contains all the necessary
dowel hinges, rudder horns and ball joints for the
shrouded control surfaces. Also supplied are all
materials for installing the radio gear. The elevator
servo is built into the tailplane, the tailplane being
fixed with Allen machine screws and is removable. lers without losing power, a prerequisite for scale

The Quality Control with our
Titan ZG - Engines
Zenoah engines are primarily industrial
units put together in flowband work. This
means a very solid construction with very
high quality of individual components.
This is the basis which we use for our ZG
engines. It is obvious by industrial mass
production that everything possible is
done to keep down the often biggest cost
component being wages.
36
5 Years Guarantee
for our
Titan ZG - Engines!
Over 20 years experience with the Titan engines and our careful quality control allows
us to extend the previous one year guarantee period to five years. This guarantee covers
the engine and ignition components in addition to any legally required guarantee.

This silencer is constructed for the ZG 62 in combination
with the Hydro-Mount-System Pitts. The layout, where Kit #6659 Ready made #6650
the silencer is a counter balance to the cylinder, results
in a very effective functioning Hydro-Mount-System. The #6651
silencer fits perfectly under the Pitts engine cowl. Refer to #6656

spark plug is just about on the level of the crankshaft on the #6657
widest part of the cowl. Due to the built-in side thrust a little
extra space is obtained. This layout is ideal for the majority

FEMA On Board Starter
With a FEMA electric on board starter you can start the engine from the trans-
mitter either on the ground or in the air. There are two types:

board starter #9613 standard motor aluminium mount has.
mounted on Titan
ZG 23SLM marine The Compact Starter for the ZG 45/62 can be mounted on the Pitts HMS. We
engine can supply a special drilled spider leg motor mount.
The much feared kick back from the ZG engines, caused when not enough
fuel has been sucked in before starting, can be absorbed by the EKA-module.
(EKA = Electronic Kickback Absorber). This module contains a simple electronic
which feeds the primary current into the coil only after a certain higher speed has
been reached. This unit requires no extra energy supply and reduces the strain
on the gearing when starting the engine. The EKA-module
is inserted between the power coil and the ignition coil in the
existing double end connector.
With the ZG 80 twin the best answer is to convert the engine
to the PCI battery ignition, no need for the EKA-module then.
The starter is switched on with a servo operated Micro Switch.
A simple but more reliable method than with a complete elec-
tronic switching module.

The Starters (the complete sets as well) are supplied
without a battery. The Starters require high performance
NiCd-, NiMH- or LiPo batteries such as used for electric-
flight. For engines up to the ZG 38 9,6V is needed, for the
ZG 45 and 62 it is 12V. For the ZG 80 12V is minimum,
14,4 is better. Minimum capacity is 1,000mAh in every

AW 30DSQ
battery backer with electronic safety switch
With the use of two DDS-10 receivers in Diversity mode, the
AW30DSQ is plugged into both receivers DSQ high power
sockets. The use of two batteries combined with the 30
Ampere continuous rating of the AW30DSQ and plugs and
sockets provides the highest possible safety.

Heat shrink tubing
We use this heat shrink tube in the production of our Easy-Start unit. It
is high quality Polyolefin heat shrink tubing made to the military speci-
fication MIL-I-23053/5 class 3*. Shrinkage ratio is 3:1 and is therefore
suitable for many purposes. It remains flexible and shrinks at 100 oC.
It is ideal for insulating the relatively delicate servo cables.
