Kazmirski Models for REFLEX XTR²

Ed Kazmirski was the first (1960) model aerobatics world champion with his Orion, which became nearly as world-famous as later his Taurus (1962). Known world-wide is also the trainer Tauri (1963), but not his last competition models Taurus 2 (1964) and Simla (1965). It is interesting to reconstruct and understand the development of those models. Please read the documents belonging to the models, either just here as a pdf file (see below next to the models) or after installation! Links to these comprehensive descriptions will then be found in the menu 'Programs-REFLEX-models'. Demo flights (hit F9 in REFLEX) will show typical flight behavior.

Simla was Kazmirski's last model, really big (102 in wingspan, later 95 in) but lightweight, kind of an aerobatic motorglider looking impressive in the air. Many versions, also with modern drives; description either here (Simla.pdf, ) or after installation! Including demo flight (hit F9 in REFLEX).

Das Ugly Stik for REFLEX XTR²

Das Ugly Stik by Phil Kraft, enhanced by George Walker, kit by Jim Jensen. Aerobatic sports model, a great classic, 40th-anniversary (and meanwhile also 50th-anniversary) edition (2006/2016) as REFLEX XTR² model. The model is not only the intermediate stage between trainer and aerobat but can fill all three roles, depending on engine power and control setup. Please read the paper belonging to the model, either here (UglyStik.pdf, ) or after installation! A link to this comprehensive description will be found in the menu 'Programs-REFLEX-models'. Demo flights (hit F9 in REFLEX) will show typical flight behavior.

Das Ugly Stik - mild or wild. Made up like a German WWI fighter, a .60 glow engine and big control throws make it a moderately 'wild' aerobat.

Kwik-Fli for REFLEX XTR²

Kwik-Fli Mk III by Phil Kraft, 1967 aerobatic world-champion model. A great classic, 40th-anniversary (2007) edition as REFLEX XTR² model. The model is still up-to-date as a most basic, typical design of a classic pattern model, today more called a sport model. Please read the document belonging to the model, either here (KwikFli.pdf, ) or after installation! A link to this comprehensive description will be found in the menu 'Programs-REFLEX-models'. Demo flights (hit F9 in REFLEX, 'Kwik-Fli...') will show typical flight behavior.

Kwik-Fli Mk III, in the original paint scheme, with a .60 glow engine without muffler. With center-of-gravity and decalage as per the plans as a stable flying 'original', alternatively with more back c/g and almost no decalage as a more neutral and 'crisp' setup.
>download package installer (, , )

Kwik-Fli Mark IV, meaning Mk III with tapered wing. With not much decalage as nearly neutral version 'original'. Purpose of the modifikation was better flick ability, which is really better only in the 'crisp' setup. The slightly different paint scheme was traditional as well.
>download the complete Kwik-Fli package, see above

Kwik-Fli Mk III as still flown by Phil Kraft around 1970. With more powerful engine with muffler as well as retractable landing gear, hence noticeably more weight. As 'retracts' version balanced neutrally since it's considerably faster and more agile than the 1967 World Champonship version.
>download the complete Kwik-Fli package, see above

Kwik-Fli Mk III, only for comparison also with more powerful engine and retractable landing gear as 'retracts' version, but only slightly more weight than the original version. Almost as neutral and fast flight characteristics as later pattern models.

Kwik-Fli Mk II, predecessor of Mark III with the same wing. Shorter tail moment arm and smaller vertical tail and elevator show in the flight behavior. With a small decalage stable balanced like the original, with a '.45' engine and a '.60'. The paint scheme was normal for the model.
>download the complete Kwik-Fli package, see above

Kwik-Fli Mk I, first version of all with bigger wing and more weight. Same wing loading, but rather short tail moment arm and small vertical tail and elevator still don't give optimum flight behavior. With a small decalage stable balanced like the original. The paint scheme was really used for the model.
>download the complete Kwik-Fli package, see above

Bar-Fli, alternate model for the World Championships. A bit smaller and lighter than Mark III, but with the same .60 engine. Therefore more dynamic and better in wind, in addition to other advantages. With not much decalage as nearly neutral version 'original' and as completely neutral version 'crisp'.

Learn Model Flying with REFLEX XTR²

On this subject, "Learn model flying with a simulator and especially with REFLEX XTR²", I have compiled frequently asked questions and my answers on them in a quite long text file. It was meant for powered airplane models in the first place, but I've added my experiences with helicopter flying. If you are interested look below to read or download it.

The model which I used in the 1960s when trying to learn model flying is available for the simulator, together with a comprehensive description and demonstration flights - just for nostalgic understanding. The demo flights show typical flight behavior of the three model versions. A version with all controls, flaps, and electric drive is even a modern beginners model.

The comprehensive description (VEBF.pdf, , in English) discusses the model's behavior by means of the demo flights, goes into design considerations, presents the vintage radio and the vintage engine, and discusses the model's practicability for flying schools. The model as it was actually meant by the expert, and Graupner Taxi are compared to my model.

Fear of Flying? Don't fret, there's the simulator! But how does it work? What to learn with which models? How about landing gear, flaps, side thrust? (Basically about powered airplane models but model helicopters as well.)
Read/download the illustrated (English) text right here:

WingMaster is basically a full-fledged, modern version of VEBF with all controls, flaps, and an electric drive. It's the virtual rendering of a possible (fictitious) real model which should be a perfect basic trainer owned by a flying school or instructor. Explanation in the VEBF description (VEBF.pdf).

FoolProof is virtually the VEBF as it actually should have been, at least according to the recommendation in the 1967 Engel modeling catalog. As for VEBF, there are versions with rudder only, additional elevator, and additional ailerons and flaps. For comparison with VEBF, explanation in the VEBF description (VEBF.pdf).

M.F.I./Boelkow Junior for REFLEX XTR²

M.F.I. MFI-9 or Boelkow Bo 208 respectively, in both cases 'Junior', as a scale model. Quite small, simple, vivid yet honest sports aircraft from the 1960s, even suited for basic aerobatics. Would be an easy scratch-build as a model, which would make a good tug. Please read the document belonging to the model, either here (Junior.pdf, ) or after installation! A link to this comprehensive description will be found in the menu 'Programs-REFLEX-models'. Demo flights (hit F9 in REFLEX, 'Bo 208 Junior' or 'MFI-9 Junior ...') will show typical flight behavior.

Boelkow Bo 208 A Junior scaled 1:3 (97.5" wing span), loosely rendered after the nice original HB-UPC. With different gas engines: Zenoah ZG 26 (flying around), ZG 45 (towing), ZG 62 (brute force).

Scale Models Scaled 1:3.5 for REFLEX XTR²

Several models offered above are "Scale" models scaled 1:3.5 and got flight characteristics as realistic (true to original) as possible. It's just interesting to compare them, may it be the well-known aerobats or even sport aircraft, gliders, and jets. The installer programm installs the best version each of the selected REFLEX models in an own folder just for convenience.

Heli Models for REFLEX XTR²

Eric Fague ("Ericoptère") from Switzerland built some nice helicopter models for REFLEX and published them on www.RC-Sim.de several years ago. Actually, they are nice even today and still worth to be flown in the simulator. For the REFLEX version 5.05, and later 5.09, they have been brushed up (and equipped with a heading-lock gyro) and are now – by permission of Eric – re-published here.

HIROBO Shuttle Plus 30. The HIROBO advertizing claims that more than half of all model heli pilots worldwide have learned to fly with a Shuttle. That may be even true, particularly since the model is still being sold since 1985. Eric's realistic REFLEX model is of 2003. It is really set up for beginners with its 1400 main rotor rpm. The blade pitch is limited to -8° and +8°, but at least you may flip the heli on its back.

HIROBO Shuttle Plus 30 on floats. Wide undercarriages with inflatable floats made from plastic film have been used quite often by rank beginners. With them, the heli can slide around on the ground without toppling over. Today, rather two crossed sticks with table tennis balls at their tips are simply strapped to the skids. Rotor rpm and blade pitch are the same as on the skids version.
>download the complete Shuttle package, see above

KYOSHO Concept 30 SE on floats. This was the equivalent beginners heli by KYOSHO. Eric's cute and realistic model is of 2003 as well. It has a semi-scale body (fuselage) as an addition (Bell 206 Jet Ranger). This is intended to be not only pretty but above all more visible. After all, for beginners the perceptability of the heli's attitude is especially important. That's also why the rotor blades have stripes that look like circles when the rotor is rotating.
>download package installer (, , )
KYOSHO Concept 30 SE on floats. This version for rank beginners is appropriately set up with only 1400 rotor rpm. The blade pitch is asymmetrically limited to -2° and +10°, so not suited for inverted flight. The heli moves quite sluggishly and docile with this setup. By the way, I prefer this green version on floats. And by the way, it's good also on snow and ice and of course it even "floats" (for instance in the "Baggersee" water scenery).
>download the complete Concept package, see above
KYOSHO Concept 30 SE on skids. For this version I like the blue painting better, for whatever reason. Anyway, this version with 1500 U/min rotor rpm and blade pitch between -2° and +12° is noticeably more agile and more fun, and so it is more instructive as well.
>download the complete Concept package, see above
KYOSHO Concept 30 SE on skids. A beginner should switch to the "proper" version on skids right after the first successful sliding attempts on the ground. The floats version is merely intended to avoid frustration (and in reality damage, above all) in the very beginning.

Graupner Star Ranger in the livery of Santini Air. Eric Fague built this detailed model in 2004. It's quite big (1.41 m rotor diameter) and heavy (4.5 kg weight). It has Graupner/heim UNI-Mechanics and is here set up as a quite agile trainer. Due to the big body with its striking paint scheme also this model can be a good beginners heli.

Graupner Lockheed 286h. The same as the Star Ranger: built in 2004, 1.41 m rotor diameter, 4.5 kg weight, Graupner/heim UNI-Mechanics and set up as a quite agile trainer. This model has a not as tall body with a low landing gear and an unobtrusive paint scheme.

Aérospatiale SA 315B Lama of Heliswiss. Eric Fague's REFLEX models are from 2003. The Lama is an alpine helicopter and therefore used especially in Switzerland. This model version is quite big and electrically powered.
>download package installer (, , )
Aérospatiale SA 315B Lama of Air-Glaciers. This version is just as big and heavy and actually the same, except the color scheme of course and a combustion engine. By the way, Eric used xmodder to convert FMS models by "Logic Wizard" into these Reflex models.
>download the complete Lama package, see above
Aérospatiale SA 315B Lama by G2loq. This version seems to be made not by Eric, but by G2loq. Anyway, it's smaller, the model has no company markings, it has equipment containers under the fuselage, and it's electrically powered. Otherwise it's the same as the other two Lamas.

Hughes 500D like in the TV series Magnum P.I. Eric Fague's REFLEX model is from 2003. The pilot in the TV series, T.C., is sitting in the fully equipped cockpit. The right door can be opened with the landing gear switch. The model is quite big and well-mannered. The big body with eye-catching paint scheme and the cross-striped main rotor blades make for good visibility. I always conceived it as a good beginners heli and it is set up as one. By the way, it looks great in REFLEX's night flying as well as in Ronald Bankert's Fischen night flying scenery.
>download package installer (, , )
Hughes 500D in a typical colorful livery and on high skids. This model (2004) is a bit smaller, more powerful, and doesn't have striped main rotor blades, but it's yet a good beginners model as well. It has interior equipment and pilot but the doors can't be opened. Eric had placed the pilot in the right seat, as usual, but in the Hughes 500 it's different. Now he's sitting in the left seat, like the real T.C. in the TV series.

Hughes 500E as replica of the PEKA Hughes by Günter Knipprath. This was one of the first model helicopters with JetCat turbine drive, big with 2 meters main rotor diameter. The REFLEX model from 2005 shows the innards of the original model with the turbine. Typical PEKA paint scheme, German registration. All these models have the high skids.
>download the complete Hughes 500 package, see above
Hughes 500E analog to the PEKA Hughes. An original's Breitling paint scheme and Swiss registration. The flight characteristics were not adapted to the recent REFLEX versions and thus partially unusual, but not too bad. I virtually set a flybarless system in the parameters, now the models fly very good.
>download the complete Hughes 500 package, see above
Hughes 500E analog to the PEKA Hughes. Yet another original's paint scheme and Swiss registration. Besides I rendered the real rotor blade count for even more realistic flight characteristics. Hence the Breitling version's 2-blade tail rotor is marginal and needs more rpm. This version's 4-blader is all right with less rpm.
>download the complete Hughes 500 package, see above
MD 520N analog to the PEKA Hughes. Simply in blue with Swiss registration. The NOTAR system as a tail rotor replacement can not be rendered in REFLEX and is in turn replaced by equivalent tail rotor parameters as realistic as possible. I set some expo on all four PEKA versions.
>download the complete Hughes 500 package, see above
Hughes 500MD Defender military version. This REFLEX model from 2006 is normally sized and flies quite well. By the way, Eric writes that he built these models with RMK especially for REFLEX.

Bell 205 of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. In 2004, Eric Fague converted this detailed model from a FMS model by "Logic Wizard" into a REFLEX model using xmodder. It's quite big (1.85 m rotor diameter) and heavy (8.5 kg weight). The big body with its paint scheme and the cross-striped rotor blades make for good visibility. That's why also this model could be a good beginners heli.

Bell 206 of Ayers Rock Helicopters. In 2005, Eric Fague converted the three 206 models from FMS models by "Logic Wizard" into REFLEX models using xmodder. This one has 2.50 m rotor diameter, weighs 17 kg, and is powered by a gas engine. Back then Eric wrote it corresponds to the Jet Ranger III XL by Vario (with gas engine, today with electric motor or turbine).
>download the complete Bell 205/206 package, see above
Bell 206 with Swiss registration. These 206 models are relatively coarse and have a somewhat fuzzy paint scheme, but they are nice and quite good fliers. This one has even 3.00 m rotor diameter but weighs only 15 kg, as well powered by a gas engine.
>download the complete Bell 205/206 package, see above
Bell 206 of Santini Air. This model has 3.00 m rotor diameter, weighs 15 kg and is powered by a gas engine as well. Back then Eric asked that someone make better parameters for the flight behavior. This request is still not granted, but actually Eric has always made good parameters. And he added a short demo flight (hit F9 in REFLEX, Bell 206 Santini Air).

Airwolf from the same-titled TV series. Eric Fague built this model in 2006 and published it in 2007. It has normal size (1.55 m rotor) and weight (5.2 kg) and I turned it into an electric helicopter. Eric set up also a quite big version (3 m rotor, 20 kg weight) with turbine and interesting flight characteristics. Except heading-lock gyro and expo for the tail rotor, I didn't change anything.

Jürgen Dreyer (DL3FY) built quite a number of airplane models for REFLEX. That was several years ago and he built a few helicopter models as well (all his models published on www.RC-Sim.de). At least one of them is nice even today and still worth to be flown in the simulator. For the REFLEX version 5.09 it has been brushed up and is now – by permission of Jürgen – re-published here.

Mil Mi-24C Hind. Jürgen Dreyer probably converted this detailed model from a FMS model by "Logic Wizard" into a REFLEX model. Here it's set up like the modern model by HeliClassics: rotor diameter 2.5m, weight 25kg, turbine 12 kW. No idea if that is realistic but in the simulator it flies nicely and like the real model in a video.
Something special: The rotor mast is now tilted forward and to the left side – like on the original. Hence the fuselage is level and upright in flight (not tilted) and the helicopter takes off straight forward.

REFLEX XTR² Model Components

Objects for building models in RMK, and drive sounds. Most of them I created myself but some are made by other authors.

Objects for the REFLEX model construction program RMK: airfoils, propellers, propeller blades, spinners, engines, motors, whole drives.
>download (, , )



The 'engine sounds' of my REFLEX models are more characteristic for the model's drive than for the model-drive combination. The sounds should therefore fit any other model with the same drive. If you only want the sounds, here are all sound files combined in a ZIP file. It includes short descriptions of the sounds and recording instructions (ReflexSoundsBE.txt).
