Friday, December 25, 2009Boss is out of town Super Sale
Hello Everyone, My name is Greg Ledford and I am the Operations manager here at Atlantahobby.com. Cliff left with his family and went to Tahoe for Christmas so it is just me and a few other associates running the show here.
He has always told me that I am in charge and to run the shop like I owned it (or was the debt holder as he says) so I have taken the global Electron member discount way up for a after Christmas sale.
Now I don't know how long it will be before he checks this site and changes it back but if you are an Electron member now is a great time to make use of some of that Christmas money and if you are not an Electron member now is a great time to join.
As you members know the discounts are automatic and don't tell Cliff but if the sales are good.... well it is always easier to get forgiveness than permission ;-)
Merry Christmas!

Monday, December 21, 2009High Sierra Li-Polymer batteries
High Sierra has has a strong technology partner who has the manufacturing ability to supply our needs but at the same time to deliver the quality that we demand. Quality is our first priority and we have worked hard to build the highest quality packs. Each Cell is checked during production and matched with partner cells to assure the highest performance of each pack. Full life-cycle-test are repeatedly accomplished and as a result the high voltage under load will give you a noticeable increase of power. Try our packs, the pricing is very competitive with those other low priced packs you see out on the market but our packs are not seconds. You will not see us changing names every time we get a new load of packs in stock and you do not have to ship your pack back to China if you have any trouble. A typical 3 S 2100 25C pack will run $29.99 for Electron members and our bigger 5 and 6 s packs also have great pricing!
Over a year in development, researching suppliers and waiting on battery technology to develop we are happy to release High Sierra Li-Polymer batteries.

Thursday, December 17, 2009NEW F-86 Sabre Jet Receiver Ready
Tough EPO jet - Simple, Fun and Inexpensive Before the Thunderbirds, there were the Skyblazers, formed in 1949 from members of the 22nd Fighter Squadron of the 36th Fighter Wing in Europe. They began flying the F-80 Shooting Star, but moved on to the F-84 Thunderjet and finally, and most famously, to the F-86 Sabre. The team performed over 250 demonstrations in Europe and became the seed of what was to become the Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. Our F-86 has a 27-1/2" wingspan and is 27-1/2" long with a 17 oz. flying weight. This receiver-ready EPO jet is pre-painted and ready to assemble in about an hour. Designed for simple everyday flying, the model is hand launched and lands on the reinforced drop tanks. Included is a 64mm ducted fan with a 4300Kv Outrunner brushless motor and 30 amp speed controller with BEC. A 1600 mAh 3-cell Lipo battery supplies the power and is pre-connected with genuine Deans Ultra connectors. Three 9-gram servos are pre-installed and ready to plug into your radio equipment; a minimum of 3 channels is required.
