Multi Blade Rotor Head MB351

2012-04-24T08:23:06Z

We named an official JR brand name for Triple Rotor Head as "Multi Blade Rotor Head MB351"

We will start off releasing in market with 50class(600size) Helicopter.

We have not fixed the exact release date however, hopefully be released before summer 2012.
Kindly be patient for a little while.

We also plan to release rotor blades dedicated for this Multi Blade Rotor Head. We shall announce at similar timing as well.

This is developed not only for Electric application, it is also suitable use for Gas powered Helicopter. It does not require special setting comparison to conventional type rotor head. By decreasing the rotor pitch a little, it is possible to obtain optimum setting. . As an advantage of having one additional rotor blade, with extra lift, it actually able to set the rotor speed lower with optimum stabilization or enough pitch control therefore it is capable to achieve "Silent" flying. (As shown in the picture is Airskipper 50T2 PRO Domestic model)

It would be best to perform with combination of TAGS01, and we shall provide necessary setting data along with G-Tune parameter data on Web site shortly depending on our models.

3 Blade Rotor Head - Further news !!

2012-03-14T05:35:34Z

Here is some update information on the Multi Blade Rotor Head we will be releasing soon.

After we post some photos, we got many feedback from domestically and internationally.
The features of our multi rotor head are-,

Because there is no Flybar, every control is done by the main rotor. So, with 3 main blades, control speed gets quicker and you can have a more definite handling than when you have with two blades. With electric helicopters, you wouldn't need to worry about losing power.

Even when you lower the rotor RPM, it still has stability compare to two blade rotor head,and because response to small control is good,you feel pitch control easy.

You'll enjoy this multi rotor head not only for F3C flight but also for your 3D flight ! Combination of TAGS01,you'll have the best performance !!

We are also working on special main rotors for this multi rotor head.

When you fold the rotors... We also need a special blade holder...

The biggest difference between Japanese Hobby show and Nuremberg Toy Fair is that Nuremberg Toy Fair would not allow the entry of the person under 16years old however, there is a day care center available for kids. The buyer from all over the world they are able to feel the new products by their own hand to feel the new products which capable to check the products in detail. Most of the manufacturers welcome the comments or request from buyer which may be a good key for their future products. Show starts 9:00A.M. to 18:00P.M. Most of the show booth have meeting room provided with snacks, candies and drinks seldom they offer cocktails or light meals, Buyers could have business meeting comfortably with warm hospitality.

Mr. Nicolas Detry got the victory in F3M Aerobatic Cup in France.

2011-09-05T02:46:58Z

French Championship in the F3M International class was held on July 2011 in France, and Mr. Nicolas Detry, Team JR Pilot, got victory.

F3M is one of the category in large Aerobatics Power Model Aircraft, faithful scale down model airplane from the actual aerobatic plane, compete in KNOWN, UNKNOWN and FREE events under FAI rule. The pilots have to submit the 3-dimension drawing of their model to fly at the registration, and need to get the approval in Model Processing to be a competitor at the championship. And of course the airplane has to be Radio Control Model.

The regulation of the model is as follows:

Monoplane ... over 2.1m square (Wingspan)
Biplane ... Over 1.8 square (Wingspan)
Weight ... 120kgs or less. (excluding fuel)
Noise ... 94dB or less.

Mr. Nicolas Detry got his 6 titles in F3M category.
If the actual airplane is scaled down faithfully to the model, it is always difficult to fly because of its bad tendency naturally caused when scaled down. But it may also be a real pleasure to feel and overcome the difficulty.
