This weekend sees the return of the IMAC scene to N.Ireland for what is promising to be an exciting weekend already. Flying begins today (Friday) and continues throughout the weekend at the fantastic Tyrella beach flying site where the event kicked off for the first time last year.

Hope to see you all there.
On Saturday April 17th, myself and a few members of Banbridge Aeromodelling Club will be putting on a model aircraft display at Caledon Vintage Rally, Caledon Co.Tyrone. It is a fun day out with lots to see and well worth a look if you are in the area. The display cannot be missed as the main field is situated just off the main road into the village and is always well signposted. Hope to see some of you there.
Hey guys don’t forget the Denis O’Hara Memorial Fly-in at Nutt’s Corner on April 5th – Easter Monday. Every year the event attracts alot of model pilots from every discipline and is always a fun day out not to mention the chance of winning an Easter egg or two!
Hope to see you all there…..

Today the new CML distribution Flight Team website “Flight Hub” went live, thanks to the CML Flight Team Manager and IMAC champ Steve Mallinder. With full information on all the fixed wing and helicopter pilots currently on the CML Team this represents a new addition to the CML Team family, joining the already very successful surface team. Check out the the pilots biogs and info on shows and competitions where you will have the opportunity meet with the pilots for a friendly chat and see product in action.
The direct link to the Competition Heli Team can be found HERE.
I have been very fortunate to have recently joined forces with the CML Distribution “Flight Team” to help with promotion on their range of helicopter accessories beginning with their new upcoming range of Savox digital servos. Savox servos have featured in many magazine reviews over the last year and are proving to be a real contender in the flight market with impressive speed and torque specifications, many being titanium geared coupled with very competitive pricing across the FULL range of aeroplane and helicopter servos…..not to mention that they look cool too!!
CML Distribution based in the South Birmingham area, are distributors for many of the UK’s most popular modelling equipment and they cover the full range of modelling products including cars, boats, aeroplanes and helicopters not to mention their huge catalogue of associated modelling products. I look forward to running Savox servos on all my helicopters for the coming season and look forward to the exciting new servo products they have in the pipeline…..more information on this coming soon!
Well my new Fury 55 is all dialed in now and all I can say is that this machine is ON IT!! The engine is pulling like a freight train and and the heli itself tracks like on rails making it one awesome combo. With kits beginning to make their way to the shops all over the world now you can get your order in now and start enjoying the MA quality.
Available in the UK from; Motors & Rotors, Midland Helicopters and FastLad Performance
Also in the upcoming issue of Rotorworld Magazine (issue 49 due out April 2nd) you will find my full Fury 55 kit review with plenty of photos to wet the appetite.
I’m sure I will see some of you at Charmouth Funfly at the end of March, so until then happy flying! 
Well the waiting is over as today the delivery man arrived with my new Miniature Aircraft Fury 55. It has been quite a long time in development, but from first glances, at even the box itself, and a brief look inside I can see that the wait has certainly been worth it. The high quality of the kit is just typical MA with a few new tweaks thrown in for good measure like the fantastic CanoMod canopy and MA building towel as standard with the kit, but one thing is for sure, this new Fury 55 is a winner. More info to follow shortly……
Welcome to the new look 3D Heli Ireland, which has been d
esigned with convenience and ease of use in mind. The old “clunky” version will celebrate it’s 4th birthday on the first of Feb 2010 and so it seems like a good time for it to retire and make way for the new.
This new look site will be clearly accessible to all internet browsers which was not the case with the older version, leaving it now open for all to view and enjoy. If you experience any difficulties with the site please let me know by emailing me at info@3dheliireland.com
Thanks and enjoy
David
Happy new year guys!! let’s hope 2010 is a good one for us all…….
Just before Christmas I received the new look SAB blades. Essentially the blades are the same as the previous versions however there us now a clear distinction between the “aggressive” blades which are red pattern and the “less aggressive” blades, which are the white pattern and are suitable for FIA and more precise 3D styles.
I think they look just great and so far I have tried the 600mm and 690mm sized blades and they have performed fantastically. But be aware, the new “Red Devil ” style blades although stable are super fast when pushed hard and so are not for the faint hearted…..so next time you need blades give the UK distributor for SAB blades, Motors & Rotors a call (01923 270405) and tell Dave I sent you.
As one of his Christmas presents I got my son a “Graupner Fun Chinook” from Motors & Rotors. This little single cell model is amazing fun and value for money for indoors and at £25 which has everything you need to fly including heli with cool coloured lighting underneath for when you are in darker rooms, transmitter and charger. The most controlable indoor model in it’s price bracket and well worth a look.
