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 fellow R/Cers!

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.

New Yak Video!

Here’s a pretty awesome new video of the Yak at the RC Flyers of Central Ohio Field.

Rapicon Fuel Is Shipping Now

We just got our first shipment of Rapicon Fuel and are now shipping it out to dealers. We also have quarts of some fuels available to ship from our retail website.

If you’re not familiar with Rapicon, here’s the low-down:

“Previously only available in Asia and Europe, Rapicon fuel is now available stateside. Rapicon fuel helps prolong the life of engines by adding an anticorrosive agent and stabilizer. Moreover, full-synthetic lubrication makes for minimal carbon residue. Made with a bio-additive and an optimal amount of lubrication, Rapicon fuel creates clean, environmentally-friendly exhaust. With fuels for airplanes, helis, boats, and cars with between 15%-60% nitro and 11%-23% lubrication, Rapicon has your needs covered.

Common Sense RC is the exlclusive US distributor of Rapicon fuel. Rapicon is also the fuel sponsor for Team Compass USA.”

GP-Exhaust Video Review

Team Compass USA, Servo Gauge, and more

Hey guys,

We've been very busy for the last few months and wanted to let you guys know about all of CSRC's big happenings.

Firstly, we have started our very own Compass Team that is managed by HeliFreak’s “Finless” Bob White. Our team will be sponsored by Torsion Blades, GP-Exhaust Tuned Pipes, and Rapicon Fuel. Also, our entire team will be flying flybarless using Rondo Flybarless systems. All of these products can be viewed on our website, and are available through our expansive dealer network.

Also, we’ve recently added a new CSRC brand product to our line: the Servo Gauge. The Servo Gauge lets you know exactly how much power is being drawn by your servos, and helps you diagnose servo or BEC problems in your setup.

If your local dealer doesn’t happen to carry these products, feel free to check out our field rep program to help bring CSRC to you.

Happy flying!
Common Sense RC
