In our final blog post on the new releases announced at the 2015 Nuremberg Toy Fair, we will be picking up right where we left off in our previous post and talking about two updated Spektrum radios.
New Spektrum DX7
Here is an RC radio that certainly punches above its weight! The new Spektrum DX7 may only come with seven channels, but it is now packed with features that you would normally see in a nine or eighteen channel transmitter. For example, this radio has a built-in telemetry feature that, when used in conjunction

INDOOR STARTED AGAIN IN JANUARY 2015.
Dear Readers,
Over the last couple of months, I have been moaning and groaning regarding the lack of fliers, lack of income which meant Michael and Model Flight had to make up the short fall for the monthly rent. As the gorgeous lady who presents information for Ford Finance says, "This is true." Now, I hope, we have entered a new world with larger numbers of happy fliers.
Personally it gave me a huge lift to have the Jacobsen family join us , and please permit me to itemise even further, and make special mention of Shaun. It seems that for quite a number of years I have had the pleasure of following Shaun's model flying career in a somewhat mild, "behind the wings" manner, and as I had been moving in different circles , lost track over the last couple or more years. So it was with great pleasure that I welcomed him to our magnificent Indoor Flying venue on Thursday, the 15th of January.

Yuneec Q500 Reviews
Two of our staff members, Mike and Matt, were fortunate enough to fly the new Yuneec Q500 drone the other day. We spoke to them shortly after their flights to get their thoughts. Here is what they had to say:
"This mid-size quadcopter is really solid in the air. Having tested it in gusty winds up to 25km/h, we were really happy with the ability of the Q500 to maintain its position and height. Challenging conditions and it performed brilliantly. And the video recorded on the CGO2-GB in these choppy conditions was outstanding. That gimbal works very well."
- Mike
"The Yuneec Q500 Typhoon is an incredibly stable platform with flight control features comparable to commercial multirotors worth thousands. The 3-axis gimbal and advanced flight controller produce stable and high quality imagery even in strong winds. Its large battery capacity gives more than
