MINIATURE AIRCRAFT X-CELL FURY 55

Whilst it may

be a fantastic

experience to ﬂ y

helicopters in the

90-size engine

market category,

it does come with its drawbacks. The

additional cost of fuel, the reduced

economy and the increased costs

of perhaps having to replace

everything from 90 sized blades to

mufﬂ ers in the event of a crash, all

mean that the 90-size powerhouse

whirly bird isn’t to everyone’s taste.

With this in mind most manufacturers

have realised that there is a very

lucrative (although competitive)

50-size nitro market out there, which is

more achievable to the average ﬂ ier

and in many cases even more fun

at the club ﬁ eld than the larger juice

hungry machines. Coupled with the

reduced running costs the pull of the

50-size market has become irresistible

to every manufacturer out there who

want in on the game. This review

looks at the latest 50 class offering

from Miniature Aircraft USA - the long

awaited Fury 55.

THE MA50 ‘SAGA’

For those who have followed the

development of this helicopter from

the beginning it must have seemed

like that began a lifetime ago. In

actual fact Miniature Aircraft USA

began development of its 50-size

nitro model, then called the ‘Razor 50

Nitro’, some four years ago following

on from the introduction of its 600-size

electric model which also carried the

name Razor. At the IRCHA Jamboree

2007 I managed to have a ﬂ ight on

one of these 50 nitro kits and indeed

a very small number were released,

but it was quickly apparent that the

model just wasn’t up to the usual MA

standard and the company, very

wisely, decided to pull the model in

favour of a complete redesign.

Cut to the summer of 2009. The

early part of the year had seen

rumours that the now ‘nameless’

nitro 50 was soon to be released but

MA seemed to be stalling for some

reason. In June 2009 it became

apparent that the company was

about to undergo a monumental

change and this was the reason for

the stalled release. The company

was to change hands from being

the Schoonard family run business of

some 25 years experience to falling

within the Flyco group who are

parent company to HeliWholesaler,

Heliproz, Ron’s Heliproz South, Big Sky

CNC and Rockie Mountain Hobbiez.

Tim Schoonard, former designer and

vice president of MA was to stay

with the company as chief design

architect thus continuing the brand

ideals and designs with the company

to relocate from the sunshine state

of Florida to the colder climes of

Billings, Montana, where new general

manager, Brian James would take

hold of the day to day reigns and

take the company forward.

The new 50 nitro was to be the ﬁ rst

of the new breed of helicopters from

‘new MA’ and all attention turned

to getting the model out there. So in

February 2010 the newly named ‘Fury

55’ (building on the very successful

days of the Fury Expert and Extreme)

began rolling off the production line

and I was very fortunate to get a

new, although somewhat belated,

toy for Christmas.

THE FURY 55 KIT

When the kit landed at my doorstep

the initial reaction was shock at just

how compact and well laid out the

box is. The box itself being heavily

printed and glossy is immediately

very different to the older style MA

kits which would arrive in a plain

box with a model photograph on

the front. These new boxes have
