Force Heli's head to ETSA Park

Well a great turnout at indoor flying lastnight, and some impressive battling with the new Force Helicopters. Its remarkable how much fun it can be to shoot down your friends!

It was great to see some new faces around the crowd, some even travelling from the Riverland for the evening.

Modelflight would like to congratulate Alan Marks on another impressive display with his “big rig” – his Tamiya Truck. It has taken Alan over 6-years and some capital investment to get this impressive bit of machinery to a state that he is happy. Check out the video below to see all the bells and whistles he has working on it.

Let the Battle Begin with FORCE RC

Horizon Hobby have just announced a new revolutionary brand and line of products to the market....FORCE RC!

FORCE RC unleashes these ultra-lightweight, combat-ready helis, perfect for out-maneuvering opponents in tight quarters. The FHX and MH-35 have self-stabilizing characteristics and a mil-spec gyro stabilization system that make combat flying a breeze. Using our built-in battle module to send and receive range adjustable, infrared signals, your customers can shoot down their opponents while in flight. Game play, using a newly designed 5-channel custom transmitter, will focus on the themes in either one-on-one, or team play mode, like dog fights, target practice, and heli vs. ground with the FORCE RC Ground Target. So let the battles begin...

• Tuned controls to provide plenty of responsiveness for aggressive ABM (Air Battle Maneuvering) without making them too sensitive.
• VDAS (Visual Damage Assessment System) gives a sequence of visible damage signals before the last hit finally results in a slow spiraling descent to the ground. In no time, the heli resets itself and is off for more action.
• Optional SimpliFly™ control mode reduces pilot workload to left/right, forward/back, up/down and guns
