Blade Scout CX RC Helicopter

Blade Helicopter Scout CX RC Helicopter with RemoteBuy Now from Mammoth Hobbies!

Horizon Hobby has come out with a RC Helicopter that is priced just a few dollars more than those found in local mall booths, but the Blade Scout CX RC Helicopter comes with a 2.4ghz radio and is backed by Horizon Hobby's world class support.

The "CX" means that the Blade Scout  features a co-axial rotor head design which eliminates the need for a separate tail rotor.  Co-axial helicopters are both less mechanically complicated and  generally easier to fly compared with their tail rotor equipped counterparts as the torque created by each main rotor cancels each other out.

Hed Jet 60 Wheels Buy Now from TriVillage.com

The  HED Jet 6 were the first Aero clincher wheels designed in the early 90s. The new 60mm aero section made specifically for the C2 rim make the HED Jet 6 Clincher Wheelset are better than ever. They're more aero, they roll better, corner better, and they're lighter. Even in crosswinds, the Jet 6 wheels are fast, it takes a strong crosswind to stall them out. These wheels have won everything from local crits to the Ironman World Championship.

Climbing? They're plenty light for climbing. HED modeled a rider on their power/drag software to illustrate it. The model rider goes 190lbs total bike and rider weight, and HED gave him 275 watts, pointed him into a 9kph headwind. They calculated two sets of numbers, one on 1320g Wheelset with the drag characteristics of traditional low profile wheels, and a 300g heavier Wheelset with the drag of Jet 6s. The lower drag of the Jets kept the model rider going faster until the grade reached 7.5%. Unless your race is all uphill in the mountains, Jets are going to get you to the finish faster.
