ParkZone has a great history of making some of the best flying and most accurate scale warbirds out there. While WWII warbirds have garnered all of the attention up to this point, things are about to change with the ParkZone SE5a WWI bi-plane. This plane has all the features that ParkZone planes have become so well-known for, but in a totally different sort of aircraft. Matt Andren visits with us to talk about this new direction for ParkZone and what the SE5a truly represents.

That is one sweet SE5A Gary but didn't E-flite already bring one of these out? so why bring another one out even though it's by PZ we all know they are both HH all be it apart from name ;-( You know it should of been a Spitfire ;-) but i can live with this until PZ bring out an updated Spitty and i hope they do just like they upgraded most of the other early PZ warbirds.

@startazz Ian, you need to listen to this week's R/Cast podcast. We had Matt Andren on to talk about the SE5a and I asked him a question just for you.

The E-flite SE5a is designed for indoor slow-flight only where this ParkZone version is designed for outdoor park flying. Similar aircraft but different end applications.

SE5A??? Sopwith Camel?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@backintack No, the Camel is quite different actually.

[helimeal]

Nice, but why only one roundel underneath?

[stevecoterell9]

@braco222 Any RC boat can be used in salt water as long as you thourougly wash it with fresh water after each use. I only use my Miss Geico in salt water and it is in perfect condition.

[bluznbeers]

Now if only they would release the bloody boat!!!

[startazz]

@fillopygeesi Yeah thanks for that mate but i found out about it last week mate on rcgroups about half an hour after HH/PZ came out with it,if you watch last weeks show of whats new and hot on this channel you see Gary has one and you will also see Matt fly it ;-) oh listen to the start of that video and you will here Gary say something to me (Ian) LOL,well it's a bit of a joke between me and him ;-)
