AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
FROM RC HELICOPTERS
FOR FUN AND PROFIT
Maurice Tait has been flying RC helicopters
for years, and he used his modeling ingenuity
to develop straightforward systems for off-the-
shelf model helicopters and cameras. His
commissions have ranged from pin-sharp still
photographs for the business world to video
for the BBC wildlife unit. This book will start
you on your way in a new aspect of the hobby,
and who knows, maybe a whole new career!

2ICRC IN-FLIGHT SWITCHING
DEVICE
Second In Command Remote Control
(2icrc) is a new company that is offering
a tool that allows two pilots to share
control of the same plane, similar to a
buddy-box. But the similarities stop
there! This 6-channel device eliminates
the trainer cord and pairs two
transmitter and receiver pairs (from any
manufacturer) to work in one plane, so
the primary pilot can grant or deny control to the secondary pilot—perfect for mastering turbine
jets, giant-scale aerobats and other high-performance RC aircraft. Three-, 9- and 12-channel
units will be available soon.

HELI-MAX
NOVUS FP
& CP HELIS
These nano-size helis join the equally
small, beginner-friendly CX machine.
With its fixed-pitch design, the FP offers
realistic flight in small spaces and has
a gear-driven tail rotor; it costs $160.
The flagship CP model is the first palm-
size heli with collective pitch and
features Bell-Hiller mixing and eCCPM
control; this fully aerobatic heli comes
with a programmable 6-channel radio
and costs $220. All of the Novus
helicopters come ready to fly and
feature 2.4GHz radio systems for the
ultimate in control.
