Kinkade RC Ornithopters

Now at "factory" prices -- but with the security of ordering from a reputable dealer! Each bird comes with a powerful electric motor, so you don't need to experiment with "upgrades". Almost ready to fly. Just install your radio and put on the wings & tail. All models have full, three-channel radio control, durable composite construction, and fabric wings and tail.

These ornithopters are intended for the serious hobbyist, and they require installation of radio components that you buy separately: a lightweight receiver/ESC, two Hitec HS-56HB servos, a Li-poly battery (11.1V, ~1200mAh), charger, and radio transmitter. Some items can be purchased below. Please support your local hobby shop when purchasing the other items.
 

Required Accessories

MikroDesigns Receiver/ESC - $56.95
A combined receiver and electronic speed control simplifies wiring and saves weight. The SPF-5/ESC from MikroDesigns is only 4.5 grams! It works with any 72 MHz FM transmitter. A soft-cutoff feature keeps the wings flapping when the battery gets low. Made in USA!
     

 

Receiver Crystal - $5.95
 Select frequency to match your transmitter. If your frequency is not listed, you can buy a crystal from your local hobby shop.

     
 
Hitec HS-56HB Servo - $29.95
The tail of the ornithopter exerts a great load on the servos. This durable servo with Karbonite gears will stand up to the abuse, and it fits the pre-cut mounting spaces in the ornithopter. Order two for each bird.
