Are you ready for the future?

Hey there fellow R/Cers!

Next week, we’ll be announcing our Team Compass USA members to the public on our Team Compass USA Official Blog. Subscribe to email updates to be the first to hear the news.

In the meantime, let’s talk about flybarless. We think flybarless is the future, and it seems that the community agrees. And why wouldn’t they? Flybarless systems equal shorter build times, more overall power, longer flight times, and greater stability. Most guys who go flybarless say they will never go back. In order to demonstrate our belief in flybarless technology, our entire Compass USA Team will be flying flybarless using the Rondo system from Pro-RC. You’ll be able to meet our team and see them fly at the 2009 IRCHA Jamboree with their Team Manager “Finless” Bob White.

Rondo is currently being carried by many major online retailers such as A Main Hobbies, Esprit Model, and RRE Models, as well as brick-and-mortar stores such as Hobby Hut and R/C Country. We are the exclusive distributor of Rondo in the US.

Rapicon Fuel Is Shipping Now

We just got our first shipment of Rapicon Fuel and are now shipping it out to dealers. We also have quarts of some fuels available to ship from our retail website.

If you’re not familiar with Rapicon, here’s the low-down:

“Previously only available in Asia and Europe, Rapicon fuel is now available stateside. Rapicon fuel helps prolong the life of engines by adding an anticorrosive agent and stabilizer. Moreover, full-synthetic lubrication makes for minimal carbon residue. Made with a bio-additive and an optimal amount of lubrication, Rapicon fuel creates clean, environmentally-friendly exhaust. With fuels for airplanes, helis, boats, and cars with between 15%-60% nitro and 11%-23% lubrication, Rapicon has your needs covered.

Common Sense RC is the exlclusive US distributor of Rapicon fuel. Rapicon is also the fuel sponsor for Team Compass USA.”
