Welcome to Snelflight

Having trouble learning to fly?

Snelflight models can help!


We are a well-established company designing tough miniature electric flying models with superb control characteristics. Our policy is to offer products which deliver superior performance - especially a high degree of controllability - by using novel operating principles. Our designs aim to be genuinely helpful in the challenging process of learning to fly.

We made our debut in 1999 with the Hoverfly helicopter, which was the first ever indoor model helicopter to go on sale. Since then we have begun to concentrate on other types of aircraft. Our current range offers something for the hobbyist of any ability, from a complete beginner through to an experienced pilot wishing to keep his hand in during the winter months, or simply to enjoy flying a "coffee table Harrier" around the house.

Which Model to Choose?

If you are considering purchasing one of our models we would recommend looking at all three, as they each have something different to offer:

Microfly is ideal for complete beginners, and is a delightful and inexpensive introduction to the hobby. It is tiny, and requires only one control (throttle) to operate. Everything else is automatic, so the beginner can concentrate on height control. Everyone can have a go, and most will learn to hover the aircraft in a controlled way. This important skill transfers directly to all other hovering aircraft.

Flying Saucer lets you take control of your own UFO! Its miniature size and robust foam body make it ideal for small spaces, and it is unique - there is nothing else like it! Its self-levelling design and effective yet docile controls are perfect for a beginner pilot, providing a gentle way into fully-controllable hovering flight. Learning to fly this model will take you a long way towards flying a wide variety of model helicopters and rotorcraft. Equally, if unmatched living room fun is what you are after, the Flying Saucer is for you!

Jump Jet is the largest of our models, and the most powerful. It is self-levelling and docile as supplied, offering the unique chance of elegant and controlled forward flight in the most confined spaces. Alternatively it may be stripped of its foam body and flown as a compact "quadcopter" with good performance, and in this form it can carry a small payload. It is upgradable with various accessories, including our Harrier body kit and an FM radio receiver for flying outdoors with a conventional hobby transmitter. If you are looking for a versatile "hobby" aircraft, Jump Jet is the right choice - no other flight system that we know of combines all of these virtues.

The Flying Saucer and Jump Jet come with the same infrared handset.
