IRCHA and Miniature Aircraft...
The miniature Aircraft booth is inviting everyone to stop by and say hi to the new owners!
Also, for those traveling (by plane, and such) and don't have the means to bring tools, MA is providing a space and tools to do needed repairs. Hope to see you there!

Last year was Josef and Judith first year at IRCHA and had just a booth with a few helis. It was an over whelming experience for them, and they loved it. I am not totally sure what they are planning for this year, but they want to meet the pilots and get to know the IRCHA family!
So stop by and say Hi and swap some stories!

Awesome that MA is back. A while back I thought I saw designs for a new nitro airframe from them. Is that still happening or did it get put to the side / tossed?

Ma is in the process of updating the latest release of helis...like "all" the Whiplash helis. The Whiplash gas heli was the first to be released this year. I believe the nitro and the electric are next in-line, and possibly in that order. I truly don't know, but I will find out this weekend!
I too want to get my hands on the newer Whiplash nitro heli! I have a brand new YS120srx motor waiting for it!!!

My Furion 6 is still my favorite heli. When MA said they were closing, I bought a NIB kit for 1/2 price from a forum. I just recently had to pull that kit out and build it.
Good to know that if I crash this one, I'm not out of luck. |

Immediately after IRCHA, I will start my Whiplash GII build. Should have several flights before OHB 2017. That means next week, I will get a few pre-build pointers from you pros. Steve

I came into the hobby when MA was already in limbo. Never gave them much thought. Then someone abandoned a Furion 6 airframe which I put effort into and rebuilt. Really-really impressive bird. I fly it as a night rig and it still feels light. I fly it on 12s and found a 10 tooth pinion. It has 105mm tails and 606 night blades. Amazing how smooth it is.

The Furion 6 & Fury 55 will be supported / updated. I don't know how much updating will be done. I should have an update next week!
I'm looking to get the Fury 55 and sticking something big for a motor in it!!!

I don't think it needs updating... just an endless supply of parts and I'll never retire it.

I had the original Ion-x with saddle pack design. The fit, finish and quality of materials was second to none. They need to make a new Ion-x!

There's an x cell 30 hanging in my Garage. Belongs to a friend but maybe it would be fun to fly?
Glad Min Aircraft is sticking around. Long time company. |

Here is an update about the up coming MA kits...
The Whiplash nitro and the Furion 6 are the next helis to be released by the end of the year...or sooner! Yes, these kits are getting updated! Both kits are waiting on a couple of parts to be manufactured...properly! The Furion 6 is the light weight power house electric. It is becoming the hottest ticket on the market! More on that later (as I find more out).
The Whiplash electric and EX heli will not be updated, due to the lack of interest. However! Both helis will be supported, so not to worry about parts! Now for the fun news! I was told, by Josef himself, there is a new 700 nitro heli in the making! This is a new design by Josef himself! I do not have a time frame as when it will be ready, but it will come out when the rest of the current line of helis are done. As for the older X-Cell helis, there will be parts support. This is what happens when you get to talk to the boss alone...while working on one of your helis!
