Looks like JK is steppin out.....

www.jkheli.com

I have decided to pursue an opportunity to design a new helicopter and start a new company. In my efforts to make this endeavor successful my good friend Todd Bennett and I have created a partnership. Todd and I, along with a few others, will be working diligently to bring this project to market as soon as possible. Our first product will be a .60 to .90 size machine incorporating the latest in design and manufacturing techniques. It will be simple and cost effective; it will also have a very rugged design and will be backed with the best customer support in the hobby. The first model will be called the “Synergy”. It is our intention to design and build a truly spectacular machine capable of fully exploring the ever expanding flight envelope known as 3D….

YA BABY about time Jason and Todd did this! I am sure it will be a sweet heli and did right from the start to finish! I would bet it will be in the same price range as the Fury Extreme or a bit lower.

Looking forward to checking this heli out that is for sure!!!

Good luck Todd and Jason!!!

I would like to thank the entire R/C Helicopter Community for the support, the friendships and all of the pleasant experiences that I have enjoyed over past years and to let all of you know that although I will not be able to attend the XFC nor the 3D masters this year, I plan to continue flying actively and to participate in as many events as time permits.

i was looking forward to seeing him fly

If anyone deserved to get something back from a hobby they have helped so much it's Jason and Todd.

They have done sooooo much for the hobby that it was due time for the hobby to give something back to them. I'm very very happy for them congratulations guys!

The whole process of designing, and then developing a RC Heli has to be pretty long, no? I imagine we won't see it for at least a year or two. Am I being realistic?

Amazing news huh? Augusto is right in that these two deserve to get a little back from the hobby, lord knows they've paid their dues!

With Jason's determination, I bet we'll see the heli a lot quicker than 1-2 years....

I wish these two great guys the best of luck!!! I certainly think they will raise the bar with whatever design they come up with.

I have one question though... Will they make a gasser version?

Congrats are certainly in order to these two guys. Can't wait to see what the new design looks like. Maybe my skills will be good enough by then that I can try one out

Shame we won't get to see JK at the XFC this year though. Guess that leaves the door WIDE open for the other competitors.

Curtis tried this

"The King "for many years created one(Vigor) and the Japanese cost cut and ruined it. Can`t see how it can be cost effective unless its built and boxed in asia. But good luck anyway . I though the "Synergy" was already taken by another japanese heli and no i`m not thinking of the "Sylphide".

Scott that was a little different, Curtis works for a company whereas Jason and Todd actually run this company.

Just curious, what are you willing to pay for a top machine?

What am I willing to pay?

God, I'm not the person to be asking, I'm a sucker for these things! :P

I think I see where you're going with this, is it that you believe the machines will be made in the states and therefore will be expensive? Well, we don't know what JK and TB have planned in that area, after all they've only just publicly announced what they're up to. Let's give them time and see what they come up with.
