| 26/03/2008 | In a bored 20 minutes myself and Trevor Burley decided to make some Phoenix simulator canopies. So here for download is the Red Lightning T-Rex 600 canopy (digitally mastered by myself) and the Yellow Lightning T-Rex 600 canopy (digitally mastered by Trev). Just download and place in your Phoenix schemes directory to use them. They will show up on the T-Rex 600 Red model as alternative colour schemes. You will need to unzip them first of course.

| 12/02/2008 | For those not regularly checking the site blog there is a bustle of activity currently. We have multiple T-Rex 500 packs on test ranging from 6S 2100 through to 5S 4200, multiple brands. Also I am part way through testing the Scorpion T-Rex 450 motors as a new motor mini-test. Various new bits are undergoing test, including the new upgrade dampeners for the T-Rex 500 and upgrade washout and mixer arms for the 500. Also just in is the Revlock 30 electric. CSM 630 gyro testing is ongoing, as is Revlock 20 testing. On the way are some 68mm carbon blades for the 500. The Western Robotics Hercules BEC is under test as is the Fromeco DC-UP. Lots and lots going on, writing it all up will be a nightmare. |
