This is an original
X-cell 60 (1989) which has recently undergone a slight upgrade. Longer tail
boom, and longer blades plus the obligatory "3D" fin set.
Still flying after
11 years says something for this design.
Here`s the X-cell about to roar off up the field. Caught in the act by Gaz (my web-dude who`s responsible for all the work needed to keep this site up to date). This heli is still one of the best flying machines I`ve ever owned, although I no longer own it. It lives, but it`s scared ! :-)
Yet ANOTHER X-cell. Bought second hand by the same guy who bought the previous X-cell (he`s a bit obssesive :-) but this one`s running with a Super Tigre motor using only 10% oil in the straight (no nitro) fuel. Seems to be working, but time will tell.
Concept 60 SR bought second hand by a pal of mine and which goes by the name of "Priscilla the Pig". This name "arrived" at about the same time the "Concept Wobble" arrived. The wobble disappeared after some advice from Bob Johnston, but the name stuck. An excellent training machine.
This is Priscilla scaring the trees. Not by flying to close to them but because trees don`t like the flying pollution machine.
Concept SR-X being flown under instruction by it's owner. Modified by the fitting of DX aluminium paddles to increase stability and reduce "twitchiness" Our intrepid FNG thinks it's "The Dogs Bollocks" and for once, he's right :-)
