Not much is known at this time, however, revealing amateur video has captured evidence about a Horizon Hobby project that's clearly hush-hush.

But what the heck is it?

More as this develops.

The New Huey is Announced

Blade is excited to announce the new Blade SR UH-1 Huey Gunship. The original Huey came in low and hot, the unmistakable "WHUP!" of its advancing rotor blades proclaiming to friend and foe that the "Air Cav" was on the way. It was the Bell UH-1 Huey and the exploits of the U.S. Army aircrews that flew it during the Vietnam War cemented forever its place in aviation history.

The new Blade® SR UH-1 Huey Gunship is the best ready-to-fly replica of this landmark
warbird you will find anywhere. Based on the proven Blade SR platform, it comes out of the
box completely assembled and flight tested with everything you need, including a 6-channel
2.4GHz DSM2™ transmitter and a 3S 11.1V 1000mAh Li-Po battery with charger. The Huey
body comes already mounted and includes scale gun and rocket pod details that you apply. An
optional LED light kit is available separately (look for EFLA625).

Force is fun

Blade is happy to help out our friends at Force once in a while, and we wanted you to know about a new lower price they are running on the Force Helicopter two-pack. $149.99 for two Force helis, these are great little coaxials, based on the stellar mCX2. Pick up a pair, battle your friends, tell 'em Blade sent ya!
