Nathan Mallory with his birds

The second Ace to grace Team FlexPro is quite the young man who just turned nine years old; Nathan Mallory.  Though flying seriously for only seven months, he has not only impressed and won over Team FlexPro leader Sean Whitney; but the grizzled sceptics that run FlexPro.
   

At ease with either planes or heli, Nathan is making an aggressive study of the Align 500.  Perhaps the only thing stranger than watching such a young talent literally tear a hole in the sky; is to see us older men (we are being so generous with that term) acting like so many vulture’s staring in row, as we ogle his skill and speed.   It’s eerie… but it’s almost like he doesn’t ever, ever crash….

In a bow to Admiral Rickover, who said, “Get ’em Young, and Train ‘em Right”, Nathan started simulator work before flying; beginning with Real Flight 4.0, before switching to Phoenix just a few months ago.   Just before Christmas of last year Nathan started out flying an Air Havoc, but then quickly progressed to an E-Flite CX2.
 

By the time of the Brooks, Oregon Flyin in May, Nathan was flying an E-Flite Blade 400 3D.  A month later he had buddy boxed a 600 nitro with Kenny McDonald and Shawn Whitney.   Oh… for those of us who have had a tendency to get complicant about watching his stunning aerial stunts when he flys the Align 500… keep in mind he’s only been flying this bird for about a month!

This will be a young man to watch .

BICYCLE SAFETY

For cyclists today, the paramount issue is safety.  At night, national safety studies on cycling translates to a simple axiom…….

Motorists need to have cyclists visible and recognizable at as great a distance as possible.

National analysis of bicycle-car accidents reveals that more than 50% are “crossing-path” accidents; where the car collides into the side of the bicycle.

Today’s bicycles are required to be sold with reflectors mounted on the spokes, but their ability to be rapidly recognized by motorists has been questioned by many experts.

FLEXPRO N-VISON BRAND BRINGS NIGHT SAFETY TO BICYCLES

FlexPro, Inc. is addressing the issue of cyclist safety, visibility and recognition by introducing it’s new and revolutionary N-Vison brand of Safety Night Lights for Bikes.

Based on our tried and proven expertise in RC aircraft night lighting, Safety Night Lights for Bikes attach to the bicycle spokes and a provides a high degree of illumination, without the excessive glare that characterizes many of the current lighting systems.

The highly illuminative lighting greatly adds to the visibility of any cyclist; yet the low glare characteristics do not blind motorists.

The result is strong visiblity at greater distances, especially in regards to “crossing path” collisions; where the sooner a motorist can recognize and identify a cyclist; the lower the potential for a dangerous intersection.

Team FlexPro Ace Leader - Sean Whitney

Burning a hole in the sky with his hair on fire is routine for Team FlexPro Pilot Sean Whitney.   At 23 Sean already has a history of fast cars, fast boats and fast helis.  It would be ungentlemenly to attribute similar words to his lady fair and better half, Jessica…. but lets just say she sizzles.

No one flys faster, lower and harder than Sean.  His orders as Team FlexPro Pilot can be summed up in the one phrase you hear shouted out whenever Sean is flying; “Lower!”… “Lower!”… “Lower”

Making rapid advances over the last two years into Pro caliber, (see the former editor of RC Heli Magazine’s review of Sean) Sean’s flying has been admired by visiting pro’s at events throughout the Pacific Northwest.  Sean’s fast crack rolls, vertical near slams into the ground, and his high speed super low, low passes that bring up grass clipping, strawberry leaves and the occasional Oregon banana slug are just too cool!

FlexPro will provide continous photographs and video on our website to highlight this young man’s extraordinary flying skills.
 

Revolutionary Night Flight Kit for RC Planes

FlexPro N-Vison night gear brings new materials and dynamic lighting concepts to Slow Sticks, Strykers, Park Flyers, Zagi and other Flying Wings.

N-Vison Lightn’n Rods mounted on the wings, wing tips, tails and fuselage provide increased visibility during the day and brillant displays by night.   The result is better pilot orientation during day and night flying.

As bright or brighter than the current Rope Lighting, N-Vison Lightn’n Rods have very low power consumption (.10 mAh per two LED’s); and do not require Rope’s heavy battery pack, switches and controller.  Power for the N-Vison system is supplied from the existing extra channel on your receiver.

N-Vison Lightn’n Rods come pre-assembled, with all LED’s, resistors, wiring and connectors fitted.  This dramatically reduces installation times.  Most users have their N-Vison systems ready within half an hour or less.  You are ready for enhanced day or night flying quickly and efficiently.

The N-Vison Lighting Kits for RC Heli’s bring a new concept in night flying to 400-450 and 600 class helis.

With enhanced visibility during the day and brillance by night, your ability to orient in the air will be enhanced.  Combining the highly illuminated N-Vison horizontal and vertical tails, with the strong glow of the Lightn’n Rods will make your RC heli an ‘aurora borealis’ in the air.

The N-Vison system is only a fraction of the weight and power draw of the battery packs, switches and Lighted Rope that is currently used for night flying.

The N-Vison fins and lightn’n rods are quickly attached using the provided plastic ties.  Power is drawn from the spare channel of your receiver; and the LED’s, connectors and wiring are pre-assembled for easy and rapid installation.  You are ready for enhanced day or night flying quickly and efficiently.

N-Vison Red Lightn

N-Vison Fins and Lightn’n Rods come in three brillant colors; blue, green and red.  You can decide how you wish to customize your heli.

FlexPro’s N-Vison Combination Kits for RC Heli come with the Tails (horizontal and vertical) and Lightn’n Rods for the skids already pre-assembled in matching Colors.  For RC flyers who wish to mix up the color schemes, the Fins and Lightn’n Rods are also sold as separate blue, green and red units.

This means, for example, that you can order Blue Fins and Red Lightn’n Rods as separate packages to customize the appearance as you see fit.

RC Pilots who wish only enhanced daytime visibility from the N-Vison fins, without the wiring necessary for nightime flying can obtain the fins as a separate kit.  In addition, these fins can be used as replacements if required.

FlexPro N-Vison night gear brings new materials and dynamic lighting concepts to RC Helis and Planes that enhances the day and nightime flying experience. 

The N-Vison Illuminated Fins and Lightn’n Rods provide increased visiblity during the day and brillant displays by night.   This results in better pilot orientation during day and nightime flying.

The combination of Illuminated Fins and Lightn’n Rods is much brighter than the current Rope Lighting in use, and has a much lower power consumption.  N-Vison Lighting systems do not require the heavy battery pack and switches of Rope Lighting, and no controller is needed.  Power is supplied from the existing extra channel on your receiver.

N-Vison Lighting systems come pre-assembled, with all LED’s, Resistors, wiring and connectors fitted. This dramatically reduces installation times and most users have their N-Vison systems ready within half an hour or less.
