My el cheapo computer PSU converted power supply for my charger died on me more than a while ago. While searching around for a decent replacement, I found a few options, some recommended but really expensive ones and some that are affordable but relatively unknown. Eventually, I settled for a cheap chargery 12v 12A PSU, which is essentially a 12v version of the 14v PSU sold by hobbycity.

I just know that some of you are also flying the 4#3B around your living room, too (so do I). One of the biggest gripes with this bird was the brushed motor – sometimes, it did not last for even 10 flights. Now, Walkera has two upgrade accessories mentioned on the 4#3B page: a BL controller and a BL motor. Let’s see when this hits the stores…

Not much room in this local Vegas schoolyard but Ben S. made the best of it.

I usually travel with my 90s in a hard golf case but I guess there are times when traveling by road, train or bus you could get away with a soft sided case.

These are “The Heli Guard” soft storage/carry cases.

Made out of 1/4″ padded Cordura, these bags are perfect for protecting your helis from dings, scratches and weather elements. “The Heli Guard” soft carry cases are the only solution offered in which you can carry multiple helis with one hand, making transport an ease. These soft storage/carry cases are water resistant as well washable with light detergent.

I nominate this as THE best video of the year. Freakin sick. Best 3d flying and the best scene.

The Compass Knight 3d has been out for some time now, and it’s a fair assessment to say that besides the factory painted canopy, there is not much in the way of “blinged” lids for it. Good new though, Canomod has released a design of a canopy for the Knight. I’m sure there will be more to come in the near future.

Sweet inverted auto by Henry Caldwell landing on a TABLE!!

Cruzing through gallery’s I stumbled upon Benny Chis gallery, and noted that he has a bunch of pictures of the Aeolus 50. Thought I would post them up for those of you who are interested. And if you may remember a few months back the video that was posted here. As you may notice it has alot of similarities to the Trex 600N.

This young man all the way from Ohio has come a long way to fly in conditions he wish exsisted this time of year in his hometown of Columbus.  Needless to say the only time he wasn’t flying this weekend was when it was too dark to fly.

Eugino “3Dx” Sada is at the 2008 Orlando Heli Blowout smacking down his Vibe 50.  He won “Best Dressed Pilot” at this years event.

Ray Nemovi with a great flight on this Align T-Rex 700 that ended in a mishap but the flying was definately top notch.  Keep up the progress Ray.
