Align has come out with a 90 size muffler for their 90 size engines, which means these will work with the OS SZ and HZ series as well. YS flyers are out of luck for the time being.  To this date, there is no mention of a version for the YS muffler mount type. At [...]

It seems the Australians have already receive their X-Treme 90 kit. Delamar over at Archeli is doing a build thread for this handsome heli.  My local dealer started accepting pre-orders a few weeks back too, but to date, there is still no news of stock.  This is yet another very attractively priced 90.

Saw these on Archeli forum.  This is the Kasama 90 size heli flown by Mahamontree from Thailand in the 3D Masters.  Gotta say its bling to the max.  Very interesting servo layout.  Pretty weird skid design.  Some areas appear to have been design with lots of thoughts and detail, but it seems a bit overly [...]

I received my 700N last Monday, Aug 4th, and started with the build.  The build was pretty much smooth sailing without too many issues.  Since there are already 101 build guides available, I shall not go into the build process. Instead, I will be discussing the issues with the kit that I had.  I had a few [...]

The RCE G600 Governor comes standard with the 700N kit. It is also available as an option for a budget governor. Lets take a look at the governor… It comes with a very small sensor mount that is a perfect fit for a 700N. It should work well for other helicopters that are using clutch [...]

Its has been released to the mass market, which means you can now buy a OS 91HZ in a OS box with the OS label, instead of the Align version.

More upgrades. The Elevator A-Arm converts the elevator control arm on the 600N to something like the 700N, removing the need of a anti-rotation bracket. The new swash is suppose to be lighter and more precise.

The Japaneses have always been crazy about their engines, trying to squeeze out the maximum power from minimum capacity. It seems they have applied that to the OS-50 hyper. R/C engine tuning house and aftermarket parts manufacturer, M-Speed, has been selling two types of very modified OS-50 hyper. Lets start with the more affordable variant [...]

Turbulence 3D, Freya EVO OP II, EVO 50 SWM OP Hirobo has announced 3 new helicopters in their line-up. One is a totally new model with the other two being new variants. It appears that Hirobo might be jumping into the ECCPM system (or what Hirobo calls SWM) because all of them are only offered in CCPM flavor. [...]

YES! You didn’t read the headline incorrectly. It seems that the only thing R/C that Align hasn’t release is nitro fuel (ok..TX & RX too..). I Hope they get the first release of these servos right. It was posted on the Taiwan Align Forum. No ETA, no estimated price yet. Hitec 7975HB- Probably just a rebadged [...]

The Align T-Rex 700 has been in production for a month or so. According to the RJX rep at 5irc.com (a china r/c forum), the X-treme 90 has also been released with the most basic version (I suppose that means G10 frame and belt drive) going at less than 4000rmb ($600 USD) in their domestic market.   Either way, both are not quite [...]
