Blackout - A Gas-Powered Fairy Tale!How it all began
We were advised to read the story of Blackout, how the company was born, how all began. Because the history of the Greek company is not a simple, "okay, let's do something" monologue, it is very interesting and motivating at the same time.

The hobby of rich people: indeed?Emotions by loving helicopters
I keep listening time by time: this hobby is for rich people. Well, we know how many of us aren't rich at all. There are many-many pilots with cheaper, older stuff, older models. Many of us can have one or two helicopters only - not even the best ones. And there are few others with 8-10-12 helicopters, most of them latest versions, but this is is not so typical. Which hobby is cheap? If you do it well, none of them.

Story about an XLPower 4020 motorExpert level of RC heli modelling: motor rewinding
I bought an XLPower 4020 motor to test it in my Logo 480 xxtreme instead of the existing Scorpion 4015-1070KV. Because there isn't too much room under the canopy of the 480, I decided to cut the wires back a little bit, then I noticed that the 2 × 12 0.42mm wires are soldered and cleaned up as much as it's required originally. After shortening the wires I could not put new connectors on so decided to rewind the motor.

Cyclone 695 and 715 Rotorblade test
When it comes to blades I'm always up for trying out new and old brands, as blades play such a big part in your models performance. I feel it's something that's often over looked by many pilots.
