It’s that time of year again where the masses of heli pilots around the globe start their migration to the small town of Muncie, IN for what is the largest helicopter only fun-fly in the world.   At IRCHA you will see hoards of pilots from the guy flying his first Blade MCP all the way to World Champion pilots like Nick Maxwell.   With every heli manufacturer on site in 1 place this is the perfect time to get that heli trimmed, engine dialed, ESC setup and so on.

Well, what can I say Grippy is here!  I was fortunate to get my Grippy last week from the guys at Chimp Systems while in Toledo.  I was anxious to get home and start twisting my Grippy since I had 3 models to add flybarless heads to.  Now I really can’t give a good review on Grippy simply because it’s really a no brainer and just works great!

So get your Grippy, grab your Grippy and twist your Grippy…my Grippy is Red.

Grippy will be distributed exclusively by www.HeliWholesaler.com and will be available for dealer order 4/7/2011

Great news for heli fliers: Amazingly compact and lightweight with governor included, Futaba’s CGY750 ultimately exceeds the already high expectations raised by the groundbreaking GY701 Heading Hold Gyro.
