Bite-size 3D powerhouse
With such beautiful weather in Adelaide, we had to get out of the office and test fly the new Blade 150 S RC helicopter. Featuring SAFE technology, this brilliant helicopter is perfect for those pilots who are wanting to move from a fixed pitch to a collective pitch heli. With progressive flight modes, you can use this RC helicopter as a collective pitch trainer as well as performing advanced sporty 3D aerobatics. Check out the video above for some footage of the 150 S.
The most realistic RC flight simulator yet
Flight simulators are a fantastic tool to help you hone your flying skills and the RealFlight 9 Flight Simulator is a brand-new release. This simulator is packed full of all of Horizon Hobby’s latest aircraft from brands like E-flite, Hangar 9 and Blade. You can practise flying all these exact models in the simulator

Version 5 of the Phoenix Flight Simulator was one of the most anticipated releases from the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2014. Today, we are pleased to announce that this new RC software has arrived at Modelflight. This simulator comes with many exciting new features, which we wanted to discuss in more detail here. The key drawcard of this new flight sim is that it comes with the Phoenix Builder companion software.
Phoenix Builder allows you to import your own RC plane and helicopter designs from almost any 3D CAD program. After loading this source geometry, you can then use Phoenix to customise your design. Irrespective of whether you want to add control surfaces or modify the finer flight characteristics, you will find that the Builder gives you great control over the creation of your very own RC model. You can even modify the characteristics of the models that come as standard with the Phoenix simulator.
When you have crafted the model of your dreams, you can then take it for a test run in the Phoenix Flight Simulator or share it online with other Phoenix users. Of course, you can also browse online for other unique models that have been created. If any of them take your fancy, you can download them for free! Version 5 of the Phoenix Flight Simulator lets you develop your skills as a pilot and as a creator!
Another great feature in this new RC simulator is the inclusion of all the latest planes and helicopters. In fact, there are over 200 models to choose from in Version 5. What's more, these models come with all the latest RC technology that you would expect to see in the real-life versions, such as AS3X and SAFE Technology. This gives you the most authentic simulation experience available. Phoenix have also included new camera views, including chase camera and cockpit perspectives. This adds a whole new level of excitment to your simulator.
In keeping with the high standards of previous versions, the Phoenix Flight Simulator maintains its InfinityScape landscape
