Thunder Tiger - Raptor X50 Well all I can say is that its about time... Thunder Tiger the breed that brought the Raptor 30, years ago and is still seen on many a field of britian today in either a V1 or V2 version. Have at long last re-invented the 50 with the new X50. Due out hopefully before summer we hope so that we get to see some appearing at fly-ins and competitions around the UK. Available in either a belt drive or tube drive and with many nice features including a frame brace between the front and rear sections of the frames to add to strength in the frame we could be looking a heli that has another big player in its sights.         We hope that we will also soon see a flybarless conversion kit for it and if so I would suggest that it include alternative bell cranks also to assist in the geometry setup which is critical for a good mechanical setup.
The Synergy N5 The long awaited Synergy N5 is slowly making its way to reaching your favourite store. Designed by Matt Botos this mini N9 has the look's of its bigger brother and will no-doubt fly like it - but with simplicity at its core will it be enough to keep the other 50's due out this year also at bay. Time will tell.....              
Below is a video of Matt flying the long awaited N5...  
Kasama Srimok 90 Direct from Kasama Helicopters what has to be one of the most blinged up helicopters on the market todate.... The Srimok 90 The Helicopter just ouses quality from its head to the undercarriage. Don't take our word for it check out all the pictures. Not only can you buy this helicopter for just under £1000 (okay its 1 pence under) but it also can come in either flybarred or flybarless version.                

RCHA in 2011 - £10m Cover and more...

The RCHA has been working to ensure that in 2011 we are able to deliver what the clubs especially wanted just as much as the members. To finally give the radio controlled modellers of the UK an opportunity to support more directly a body more in tune with the modellers needs and with a clear vision for growth, development and community spirit.

In 2011 members will be covered up to £10m for Public Liability, an extra £5m more than in 2010. Clubs will have the opportunity to become fully affiliated members of RCHA and as such secure their own public liability and employers liability cover.

Clubs will also get some key features:-

  • Free Webhosting under the RCHA domain*
  • Free design service to assist with leaflets, adverts and regional marketing
  • Placed into the RCHA / Google mapping system giving potential new members very quick and visually effective access, to find their nearest clubs without having to go through lists and lists
  • To help where possible in site planning and liaising with landlords or councils.
  • Sign posting to possible area’s for support on funding for site developments
  • Access to our online facility to enable clubs to have their members signup online and secure instant cover via e-mail and downloadable.

The RCHA is recognised by both the CAA and Ofcom and we have enlisted the assistance of a flying school to re-look at the achievement scheme for the RCHA.

RCHA World Record Attempt

The RCHA is pleased to annouce the first in a long line of record attempts to highlight the fantastic enjoyment, fun and challenges that our hobby delivers to its members every day. Due to the length of time its taken to gain approval from the Guinness World Records for the attempt the RCHA flyin will be put back till the 18th & 19th September 2010.

The World record attempt will be on Sunday 19th September, all pilots are encouraged to take part as we are sure once secured many other countries will aim to break the various records we set year on year. Other records being looked at are : "The Most RC Helicopters Inverted Simultaneously", "Longest Distance flown in either electric, Nitro and Gassers" and the "Heaviest weight carried by an rc helicopter". We feel these challenges will help to push our hobby outside into the greater public audience and give us the opportunity to show just how enjoyable our hobby can be.
