ZN Madness II
Just wondering what the word is on the Madness II? Is it a YS63 Evolution or a bigger YS110 version? Looks pretty nice, like the colour scheme... Mark... you know anything about this.. what with you being just the 'humble' builder at ZN?

Ok...
Heres the prototype colour scheme anyway... doesn't give much away in size or improvements to original. Nice though. very... err... "Synergy", ...Benoit at work again...

Madness 2
Hi Steven,
Happy New Year to you, I agree exactly with what you saying. The big plus on the Madness 2, is that it does appear to have room on the fin for tail bracing, all I can guess it that is is simply an update of the current model, no major improvements so as to not ruin the flight characteristics. The only downer, is for us existing Madness owners, we now feel out-dated (he, he).
I like it, and if it turns out to be true than I'm sure that we will stock some...
We collect the High Societys & Rhapsodys at the end of this month. YS 110's due in soon. Just in time for the Stream 90, I have seen it on Hirobo's Website, looks like a cracker. The Stream 50 Hi perf is also pretty cute too!

Oh, no I know. (Other thread!!!)
Biggles, did you get a chance to take a peak at a Funtana yet that is resting with Phil? (Red and yellow one)

Where is Mark Novak?
He should be able to fill us in on this.
If that is a 90-120 size plane.............I need one now.
Has this bird been released? Once released, it will still be several months until we see it here in the US.
This one is just worn out.

Hi Robert,
I have seen your Funtanna. They've done a great job, My friend and I have seen it, and we thought it was an ARTF, I know your model has got Phil wanting one for himself. I want one too, come to thing of it so does everyone else!! We think that there will be very little performance difference between this model and Majestic.
I'm sure the wait will be worth while, You will have a cracking Model.
In my Hangar is a Madness, a Caprise, a CF Phase 6 and a TT Champion 45s (hack model) and I am wanting a little Majestic, posssibly Madness 2. Synergy 90, Synergy 140, Funtanna oh yeah and everything else.
Phil, is a great chap, puts 110% into everything. He is a rare genuine person who leaves a mark on you when you meet him. He is one in a million. He makes you feel inspired, for me he is one of the biggest influences on the UK Pattern scene and I'm sure that without Phil, some of us would never of achieved or enjoyed our hobby as much as we have. He works himself very hard, this chap never seems see his bed. Super bloke!!
I'm sure you have got the picture!
Nice to meet you Robert, I have heard quite a bit about you, enjoy this year and all the best with your Funtanna.

Well if all the arangements go well there will be a head to head of Synergy + YS110, Stream 90 Hi Perf + YS110, JR Explorer + YS110 and an MK 3D Dancer + YS110. I am the only one without the YS so its me holding up the big test day! I'll post up on the AA WEB site (when those damned Internet companies get themselves sorted!) how it all went... we will use the same fuel, plugs ,props and servos. Should be good! This all started out as a bet as to who had the best airframe....

Thanks,

Actually, with the Madness production line going full bore, I would see no point in releasing another version that would only slow down delivery.
You should know that BPLR sells decoration designs to manufacturers - ZN as well as Kyosho and others - and the drawing posted here appears to be nothing more than one among a number of decoration projects submitted to said manufacturers.
Seems CPLR attracts so much interest everybody wants to sneak into projects and convert them into rumoured "new facts"

Well, you had better take a look at Galileo then, this is ZN's sister company in Japan? Seems they are giving away too many 'facts' on their WEB site. Thats very odd don't you think? Maybe they know something we don't...
