Wayne Mann's Kalt Mercury Thunder Tiger Raptor

There wer many different and new helis to lust over, here is a first look at Wayne Mann's new Kalt Mercury and a new Thunder Tiger Raptor 30 size sport model

Robbe Moskito Sport Vario Sky Dragon

Gary Wright was demoing the Robbe Moskito Sport and was really tearing up the sky with a basically stock model. We also got a glimpse of the catalog photos of Robbe's new Moskito Conquest, which has the Futura/Millenium style System 88 control system. Bob Belluomini was also flying a Vario Sky Dragon. This is an entry level model from Vario with lots of bearings and graphite parts all at a very reasonable sport price. Flys great too.

Xcell Gasser Mikado Logo Electric

As always Xcell was well represented. Here's a big Gasser on display. A rare look at a Mikado Logo 40 size electric heli. This electric flew nicely as well.

Its the food tent! Rave's booth

It wasn't all flying though, there was PLENTY of action at the food tent as well as the barbeque booth. When not eating one could shop the vendors, here's Rave's booth stocked with goodies.

John Pennell at the Vario booth Colin & Larry

Lots of heavy discussion erupted up and down the flight line. Here John Pennell drools over a pretty Ecureuil at the Vario booth while Colin and Larry discuss the finer points of how one jaunts one's cap in merry ole England

Ewald Heim

There was no shortage of help either, as Ewald Heim goes over the control systems on a big Xcell Sea King with 5 bladed head

Keep going there's much more Page 3
