We just home from iHobby 2009!

The Snap&Fly was a big hit and drew a lot of attention.

We were also happy to have Mr. Lee of Rapicon Fuel present with us at the event.

We'll post some pictures of the event very soon!

Torsion Blades, 3.7 volt 130mAh 15C lipo reviews

There is a review of Torsion 205mm Blades in the September 2009 edition of RC Heli magazine! Check out the scan below to see what they had to say!

Also, a second independent review of our 3.7 volt 130mAh 15C lipo has been published on Helifreak. This lipo can be used in the Blade mCX and mSR, as well as the new ParkZone Sukhoi, Vapor, Micro Citabria, Cessna 210, and Ember.

Snap&Fly 3-in-1 Modular Airplane System

Effective immediately, Common Sense RC is now the exclusive US distributor of the ItCanFly Snap&Fly modular airplane system.

The Snap&Fly system is three micro, ready-to-fly airplanes in one. The system utilizes a single, removable base module which can effectively power three different models of planes. This base module contains the actuators, receiver, motor, propeller, and lipo battery, and can be effortlessly removed from one plane and “snapped” into another using its innovative magnetic setup.

Micro Heli and Plane Lipos!

We’ve added two new lipos to our catalog made especially for the Heli-Max Novus. The 3.7 volt 400mAh 15C retails for $8.99 while the 3.7 volt 400mAh 20C retails for $11.99. Use these to get a little extra punch for your Novus.

Also, if you’re a big fan of the new ParkZone Su-26m Sukhoi BNF, our 3.7 volt 130mah 15C battery is a perfect fit for the plane and the charger, and will provide you with longer flight times than the stock battery.

Are you ready for the future?

Hey there CSRC dealers!

Next week, we’ll be announcing our Team Compass USA members to the public on our Team Compass USA Official Blog. Subscribe to email updates to be the first to hear the news.

In the meantime, let’s talk about flybarless. We think flybarless is the future, and it seems that the community agrees. And why wouldn’t they? Flybarless systems equal shorter build times, more overall power, longer flight times, and greater stability. Most guys who go flybarless say they will never go back. In order to demonstrate our belief in flybarless technology, our entire Compass USA Team will be flying flybarless using the Rondo system from Pro-RC. You’ll be able to meet our team and see them fly at the 2009 IRCHA Jamboree with their Team Manager “Finless” Bob White.

Rondo is currently being carried by many major online retailers such as A Main Hobbies, Esprit Model, and RRE Models, as well as brick-and-mortar stores such as Hobby Hut and R/C Country. We are the exclusive distributor of Rondo in the US.

Please contact your sales rep for more information about the Rondo flybarless system or call us toll free at 866-405-8811..
