One Fish, Two Fish, Big Fish, Winner!
Last weekend we ventured into Louisiana for the Cajun Heli Festival. Sometimes its really hard to remember we are working! The event was a blast. Not only did we get to have some amazing authentic Cajun food, we got to spend our time fishing… with our Helis! Manny ended the show with the award for biggest fish caught. Congrats Manny! Here are some pictures of Manny, his Shape S8, and the prize fish…. now on to the search for some fish fry recipes.
Meet Chuck
Chuck first got started in the hobby in 1984. His first love was RC Fixed Wing. Once the late 90’s hit, chuck became addicted to the world of helicopters. He was involved in a local flying club called the Tulsa Glue Dobbers, where he and many other friends would fly Helicopters. With-in the last few years, some of his flying companions at the club decided to break off and create a Heli Club called Broken Arrow Rotors. In only a year’s time, the Broken Arrow Rotors club managed to turn an abandoned county nursery into a quality RC field, building a shelter and installing power. You can find Chuck and his club-mates attending several Funflys, including IRCHA, throughout the year. ” I competed in the IRCHA Speed Cup the first two years it was held, and I plan on competing in sportsman class this year.” States Chuck.
Welcome to the team Chuck!
A Much Awaited Edition
Last week we finally received the new Secraft DS-16 Transmitter Tray. As soon as it made its way to my desk, I rushed to the shop to assemble it. It came neatly packaged in a plastic bag with individual compartments for each piece, which was great because some of the screws are quite small and, knowing myself, would have gotten lost. The tray itself was very easy to assemble. There were only four pieces to connect together. Once I built the tray, I grabbed my transmitter. There are two adhesive squares that are placed on the bottom of the DS. These help to keep a tight fit on my transmitter. Once I slid my Jeti DS-16 in the tray and tightened the lock, I was good to go!
Now, I know you’re probably wondering why I didn’t just keep with the universal tray. As the universal tray does work with this transmitter, the DS-16 tray is specifically designed with the shape and weight of my transmitter in mind. The bottom bracket is not only angled to fit the shape, it has rubber pads to protect it. In addition, this tray comes with special extended brackets, designed to distribute the weight, keeping a CG that is comfortable to fly with. Over all, I am in love with this tray. It is offered in two colors; Red and Black, and we expect it to be available on our website by the end of the week. Keep an eye on our out New Products page for it to pop up. Until then, here are some pictures.
Happy Birthday To You…

When Nate hit his teenage years, he decided to start flying competition. In the time period of his competition flying, he walked away with from IMAC Aerobatics with several medals. Over the years, Nate has dabbled in a little bit of everything, landing most recently on Fixed Wing and Helicopters. Nate’s exposure to aviation does not stop with flying RC.

From The Flight Line- Danny’s F14
Walking around Florida Jets, I came across this amazing Skymaster Twin Turbine F14. This gorgeous jet belongs to JR’s very own sponsored pilot, Danny. Danny is running the JR X-Bus System and flies it on his XG11MV (soon to be the JR 28X). Powered by two Jet Cat Turbines, and complete with sweeping wings, phoenix missiles, scale lighting, and bombs, this F14 will surly rattle your bones.
