Get Paid to Post Content $$$

I guess you guys are really paying attention to what is going on on the website. I changed some of the links today and everyone seemed to start calling and emailing me about the new program we are starting called “GET PAID TO POST.” No its not a scam or a gimmick. Other people do it now on major sites. Its something we do where I work and I am just employing some of the professional experience in my own venture.

RJX X-treme 50 Version 2009

Posted by Calvin Lin on Monday, January 5th 2009

The original X-50 has been out for more than a year. Along the way, upgrades/updates like the tail rudder control rod, 3mm flybar conversion, 8mm spindle main rotor and helical gears were released. This latest kit revision, the 2009 Version, includes some of the more essential updates and upgrades, in addition to the 2008 kit revision. The 2008 kit revision brought about the 10/85t helical gear set, cnc rudder push rod holder, a RJX muffler and the 3mm canopy mount thumbscrews. It seems, the selling point of the new kit will be the VERY STIFF 8mm rotor head(that I fixed on my raptor a while back), tail grips with thrust bearings and also the option to choose either torque tube or belt drive for the tail rotor. As of now, there are no ”real photos” available, but the whole manual of the 2009 version does give us some pictures of the new kit…

INSANE Power T-Rex 500 3d Video

Posted by Sean Williams on Sunday, January 4th 2009

So we went out to the field to test out some new blades and packs on my buddies T-Rex 500 (Lightning Power 425mm and 6s 2600 3g packs). Running the Scorpion 1400 KV motor, I was amazed by the power. This is definitely a killer setup.

Check this out folks, if you want to be mind boggled, finger tied, and left saying…what was that? OHH and that? How in the? Wow…I cant even follow him…well this video is for you. Henry Caldwell is one of the most “interesting” flyers in the hobby, no two flights are the same, and some of he stuff he does is just radio bending.

Review: Thunder Tiger Redline 53 Helicopter Engine

Posted by Bryan Regular on Thursday, January 1st 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpdm4hK5BDk

Review By: Stephen Bell

Thunder Tiger has just released a completely new helicopter engine to replace the TT50. This is not as we often see a punched out modified power plant aimed at extending product life. The popular 50-sized helicopter exists due to low operating costs both for fuel and parts plus has the attraction of being very easy to transport. The power to weight ratio is slightly less than the 90 format in most cases, this however is about to change. Recently the strongest engines available were the OS hyper and pumped YS51-ST. Volumetric efficiency of these two very good engines is about as good as it gets, meaning any further attempt to increase this parameter would likely have an affect on throttling smoothness.
