The wait will soon be over, the Whiplash nitro kits are just about ready for the public release! I had the pleasure of building one of the first production kits and must say that the build was extremely simply with the entire build and electronics install taking just about 6 hours.
I wanted to post some pics of my current charging setup, this is currently being reworked by A Designers Edge to make some great new features and a not seen before look. The iChargers are courtesy of www.ProgressiveRC.com as is the new Power Block which allows you the ability to use up to 6 chargers and will eventually make for a super clean install. But for now, here is the rough version which is pushing roughly 1500 watts and getting power from a Honda EU2000i.
Happy Holidays to everyone from my Family to yours! Thank you for an amazing year, 2012 will be better than ever! Hope to see everyone soon!
The guys over at RC Heli Nation were nice enough to ask me on to their show to do an interview. There were lots of good questions by the guys and you know I answered them as only I could! It was a great time and lots of fun, Pinion joined in the fun as well! The show is available now at www.rchelination.com and is also be available on iTunes. Be sure to check it out and follow them on Facebook for weekly shows.
I’ve had many, many requests for pictures of the Whiplash under the hood. Here are a bunch of pics I just snapped….Hope you all like them! This is a 12s 90/700 size electric model. Electronics include: Futaba CGY750 FBL, Futaba 255HV Servos as well as the Castle 120HV V2 and the insanely powerful Scorpion 4525-520KV Limited Edition motor.

The long awaited flagship 90 of Miniature Aircraft USA is finally here. After years of waiting the future is now, Whiplash is a helicopter designed by both Bobby Watts and Chris Lund (Big Sky CNC) the helicopter is a total departure from the Miniature Aircraft USA that we all remember. As with all MA helicopters, the Whiplash was designed and manufactured here in the USA.
The time is almost here for what is one of the most exciting helicopters to be release. This is the start of a new era for Miniature Aircraft USA and is sure to be one of the most exciting. I am highly anticipating the arrival of my new Whiplash in the next few weeks!
