Performance 3D electric helicopter

The professional model flight simulator for all types of radio control aircraft and all levels of R/C pilot - from beginner to advanced.

The 1.02 update has passed our extensive beta-testing phase and is now released for general download. The update contains a number of new features, improvements, extras and fixes:

New Features:
- All new 3D helicopter and 2/4-stroke 3D airplane sound effects.
- Maximum recording time increased to 5 minutes.
- Phoenix now disables screensaver on startup/re-enables on exit.
- PhoenixUpdate makes updating your copy of Phoenix easier and more secure.
- New aircraft: Yak 30, B17 Flying Fortress, Extra 330 PW, ShiftRotor and others.
- Smoke activation can now be assigned to a switch or keypad number.
- Checkbox options are now inflight-tuneable.
- Starting positions and orientations can be cycled using hotkeys CTRL+P / O.

Enhancements:
- More advanced lighting system for all sceneries and models.
- Improved rotor-blur effects.
- Alpha-masking for increased background/model interaction.
- Increased silhouetting against sunshine and light-glare.
- Improved glass-reflection effects.
- Thicker and optimised smoke effects.
- Many sceneries reworked for even sharper image quality.

Helicopter dynamics:
- Gyro system improved for more realistic blowouts during extreme manuevres.
- Improved drag-profile for greater falling speed against gravity.
- More blade flapping during extreme manuevres.
- Increased pitch-range: -13 to +13 degrees.

Fixed-wing dynamics:
- Even more realistic spin-physics for enhanced tumbling and flat-spins.
- Increased stability during prop-hanging.
- Increased inertia for greater feeling of weight.

Bugs fixed:
- Incorrect pitch display on transmitter on recording playback.
- Number-pad control input compatibility issues.
- Improved error-detection when user loads video without correct model installed.
- Water effects dissapearing when smoke quality is reduced.
- More room for control mapping profiles.

Dear customer,

We have discovered a critical safety issue on the T-Rex 600 and hereby issue this safety bulletin.

Abnormal fracture line has been discovered on T-Rex 600 main blade grips during post-flight
inspection.

With the T-Rex 600 mass produced and readily available, more variation in setups and power combinations are attempted by pilots in real life situations. We have unexpectedly discovered some abnormal fracture lines on blade grips in certain instances. Upon further investigation at microscopic level, our technical department has found the blade grip’s structure integrity to decrease dramatically with the presence of these fracture lines. Flying with these fractures at high headspeed with 11T pinion may lead to breakage of blade grip. This problem was not detected during our long-term longevity and stress tests since the tests were done with stock power setups.

We suspect the cause of these fracture lines may be due to over tightening the M4 blade bolt, or stress around the bolt’s hole from crash impact. Flying high power setup with these fracture is extremely dangerous, at worse case could result in midair detachment of blade grips.

To improve on structural integrity of these grips, we have developed and tested a new design with thicker area. The new grips greatly increase the overall rigidity and safety of the head. We are sending these New grips to you (2 new main grips, 2 M4x27 blade bolts per kit) and please return all the parts H60003 to replace. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

The original holder is on the left side of below photo. New thicker holder is on the right side of the photo.

We sincerely apologize not catching this issue during product testing, and the inconvenience this may have caused our fellow flyers. Your understanding and continued support is greatly appreciated.

We recommend that all T-Rex 600 be grounded regardless of the power system being used. For safety reasons do not fly the helicopter until the blade grips have been replaced with new design.
