Model Expo Sunday

Sunday, April 25, 2010

Some random pics from Sunday at the 2010 Helsinki Model Expo. The two 1:10RC scale yachts look nice, but must take an enormous amount of time to build, and are 140cm long and weigh 10kg (like a 1970-80s Marblehead?). All of which contrasts quite strongly with the MicroMagic, where presumably some of the better sailing this season [...]

Helsinki Model Expo 2007 - Day 3

Sunday, April 1, 2007

Last day at model-expo, my first try at using google video! First the new Futaba 2.4GHz radios. There are two wheel-model radios already on the market, and I was told two stick-radios (a 3-channel and a 6-channel model) will be in stores very shortly. Priced close to the Spektrum offerings at around 200 eur. Then [...]

Helsinki Model Expo 2007 - Day 2

Saturday, March 31, 2007

A long day at Model Expo today... Our main new attraction for this year was Micro Magic sailing in the pool - and it worked great! This picture shows a general view of the pool, the marks, and the blowers(the yellow and blue fans at the top of the picture) that created wind for us. [...]

The plan is to have 2 IOMs, one 5.5mrc, and about three MicroMagics on display. A 32" LCD screen displays sailing videos while people interested in the sport can pick [...]

This years Model Expo was held during 5-7 of May 2006 at the Helsinki fair centre. The Finnish RC-Sailors exhibited a Noux IOM and a local class boat, the 5.5mrc. Our stand was moderately interesting to the 10000 or so visitors with a handful of people interested in either buying second-hand boats or building a [...]
