Update: it broke! Unfortunately the crankshaft on my powerful MAC/MDS .61 shattered in-flight. This may have been because I was using a heavy composite glass-filled plastic prop rather than the wooden props these engines were probably designed for. Still, I got more than $49 worth of fun out...

I reviewed the iMAX 9X 2.4GHZ RC system for RCModelReviews.com. What better way to see how it works than to throw it into my oldest and crustiest 3D profile, a 4-year-old Katana P. This bird is *very* loose and my flying isn't that good, but the RC gear performed perfectly. A full review...

Oh the shame of it all as Ace Flier is demoted to "ditch-digger" after crashing his Skyradier Mach 2 into the drain. Yep, we love a bit of wind at the SWMAC so 20knot cross-winds make us *very* happy.
