Product Number: 2008 Models Price: $New Shipment

I have not actively updated my website in 2007 and several changes have occurred over that time span. I do not carry all of the products shown on my website in stock. I frequently run out of product, and don't always have the cash to restock. So when I have something in stock, Now is the time to order. Like I have only one of the Yuri F1B winders left with electronic counter and torque meter. When this is gone, I will be out of stock. Things have really been slow to get from the Ukraine suppliers. For one thing the dollar has been low in relationship to the Euro, so they would prefer to sell to Euro countries where they can get more value for their sale. Also, the prices have gone up, and the guys building all of the good stuff may be getting a little tired of building more of the same product, or have found things more lucrative.

Having said that, I am presently not so keen to continue spending alot of my time bringing in expensive models with the risks associated with breakage, repackaging, and building plywood boxes. I would like to spend more of my time designing, building, and flying my own models. But I always like to handle new things, so when something comes up that I have a strong interest in, I will probably offer it to you my modeling friends also.

February 2008, 8 more wonderful Bukin F1Gs have arrived, picture above. I have sold 20 of these so far, and everyone has been very pleased with how well they do in competition. These won't last long, so let me know quickly to put your name on one! I have ordered 5 with DPR/VP front ends, full premium featured models, and 3 with simple front ends, but otherwise identical. I plan to keep one of the premium models for myself, and keep it especailly for flyoffs. I have found after 3 Nationals at Muncie, that I have made it to the flyoffs every time with a simple model. This past year I think that I was at a disadvantage because my pole position was at the bottom of a substantial hill, something that I will protest immediately in the future!

Also check out my header called BUKIN. I have only F1G models in stock made by Alexei Bukin. Beautiful models that also fly the same.

Need to get more orders going to the Ukraine. Let me know your modeling requirements. It is time to get your orders in for 2009...before you are too late! Deliveries have been slow in 2007, so make your plans early for 2009!

I will probably order more Cyclon engines setup special for F1J including glow plug and flood off fitting in venturi. I had spinners for the Cyclon and the GRS custom made. Initial reaction by some of the top flyers has been excellent. I have a few of these left in stock.

I have a good stock of 1/2A and F1J folding props from 140mm to 149mm diameter. Pitch is about 2.5-3. Start with 149mm and clip the tips until you get to the desired RPM, or specify a size.

The David planer found under Tools4Balsa was written up in Flying Models by Larry Kruse. I have these in stock for $15 and they make planing HLG and CLG wings a breeze. Makes for a good Christmas present.

glideTEK is an authorized source for:

1. Vasily Beschasny F1A, F1H, F1J, and exclusive F1B and F1G designs from the Ukraine

2. Ikara Products, Viscous Timers, P-30 Kits and supplies, and ready to fly indoor models from the Czech Republic

3. F1B and F1G full featured by Alexei Bukin of the Ukraine

So why order from glideTEK? I can order models in quantity and take the risk of breakage, dealing with overseas suppliers, and I send all models out in plywood boxes that has proven to be successful.

I assume all of the risk of payment and shipment from distant countries. I carry a limited supply in stock.
