Yea I had one back in the early 90's a quality bit of gear too.

Have you heard of Max Tandy at all, he's dead now but he was the importer for X-cell in the 80's and 90's, massive respect for that guy..

Oh yeah . Max was Mr x-cell !!

Went to his funeral back in the early 2000's , reckon he'd forgotten more than all the rest of us knew about helis back then ....

Great bloke, lots of great memories.....

Qld bit of a hot spot for MA stuff, I'm on the Sunny Coast with a couple of Stratus, Furion 450 and the Furion 600. Although MA folded recently there are still plenty of kits and parts around with Lyle, another Qlder still selling them http://rcheliworld.com.au/index.php?route=common/home

Yo John us Aussies are taking over I think.
Yep Pete that's the guy , respect.
He sold me an X-cell 60 with a Royal 46 and a power pipe in it. He ran it in with a 7 pound shovel taped to the skids man , rich as all get out screaming it's freckle off hovering rock solid and that was my best glo motor ever run 'em in hard and rich now and they last much longer because of it I reckon. Max sold many choppers with a free lesson man I'm not kidding I got one free flying lesson with a brand new Heli and man it's the most best info I ever got in this sport.
Cheers bro.
