Ok, maybe more like 10. Team MA is in full force with their new Razor.
Henry Caldwell flew one and it was awesome as one would expect. I didn't get to see Eric Larson fly but talked to him and he really likes the model.
Can't wait to get a couple ... Now if I can just get over the ugly canopy ...

Man! Now I want to see video!!!!
Beautifully designed, it may actually look better without the canopy though !
Kind of like a woman with a smoking hot body and a hurtin' face :mrgreen: .

Looks like a great heli - the canopy is a disaster - but that wouldnt stop me from owning one :D:D

IRCHA was a BLAST! I will wait for those that saw the Razors in the air to give you the reviews. We let anyone fly one that asked so hopefully some of the many people that flew them will also report back on how they flew.
We flew the Razors a lot. I did not keep track of flights, but there was non-stop charging on probably 16 sets of battery packs. Minus my encounter with the ground when I was doing a low roll out into a funnel during the sat demo (damage was tail boom tweaked and flybar bent) there where no crashes and no parts problems of any sort. The machine is ready :) I sure hope you all enjoy it as much as we are.

A blast indeed, we're still here in Muncie, but getting ready to start the long drive back home. Had a blast flying and hanging out with friends as always. :)

I listed it above, Tail boom was bent and the flybar was bent. We changed the main shaft as a precaution as the preproduction ones are not as hard as the production ones would be. Oh ya, and also the tail rotor control bell crank. Pretty minor and was an easy fix :)
Best I can remember I drug the tail on the ground when I entered the funnel after the roll. Not a good thing to do :) Ask Curtis :glasses: Flying low has its hazards!
All of the Team guys flew the crap out of the Razor during the entire event. I am not sure how many others flew it, but I know at least 6 others that flew mine. We let pretty much anyone that asked have a tug at the sticks.

I also am still here in Muncie, getting ready to head back to Texas tomorrow. I flew the Razor today and as I expected it flew really well, stable and quick on cyclic, flies like a mini ion which is very good!! You won't be disappointed with the performance either!!!
Flew with Bert today and had a great time , plenty of flying on Sunday!!
IRCHA was a blast and I am glad I came, looking forward to next year!!! Hopefully I will have a razor soon!!!

You will all love this helicopter!! My first flight on this machine was on Wednesday, and I absolutely fell in love with it. This heli is very predictable, very fast, and flies just like the 90's.
Nice seeing you all at IRCHA... see you all soon!
