Yes...since RC Universe is about everything RC related I've given the heli section it's own presence here at RC Universe as it deserves.
Other features coming soon will be customizing the entire forum so if you only want to view certain forums on the homepage that will be possible. Also the search new posts feature will ONLY find the forums that you have selected! This way if you are an exclusive helicopter pilot you can subscribe for example to the heli forums of your choice plus perhaps the boards radio & engine forums. These would then be the only forums you see plus the only ones searched when you click "new posts".
You can get some of this functionality by subscribing to your watched forums and then viewing only them on the "MyRCU" page!

What NO CENTURY Hawk Falcon Raven Section to the new Heli Forum? Surely they are popular and as deserving a section here as the rest of the models already here !!!!
Good job creating the New Heli forum looking forward to using it !!!! Now if only there was a section of what most people in my neck of the woods are flying "Century" !!!!!

I thought that we voted against teh seperate sections for helicopter manufacturers a while ago. I like that seperate section for helicopters, but segregating the brands tends to disconnect people from eachother. Rotory did that a while ago, and I think it took away from the forum atmosphere.

We are moving some of the threads to the proper forums such as Raptor-JR-etc. to the appropriate forums. It might take a bit, but please post in the proper forum like for instance JR-Raptor and other makes in the new appropriate forums.

I agree with Ergo60, I am kind of worried about separating brands. I would like to view everything about all brands without having to go too far. Unless I have a very specific question I plan on posting in the general discussion just for the extra volume of readers and potential answers. What if I own a Raptor and someone asks a question in the Century forum that I know the answer to. I may know the answer but if I don't get the question I can't answer it.
I plan on checking all the forums but I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't. I would have never checked all the forums a few months ago but since I've started frequenting RCU more I do. While I do think splitting things up makes it easier, I think you loose some of that community feeling RCU has.

I can't wait until they invent the personal transporter!! Hey, then I wouldn't need to wait for heli parts, I could just walk into Heliprozs and turn my wallet upside-down 3 days faster!! LOL, I'm getting bad! I leave my Outlook on 24/7 and have it check for new mail every minute to see when someone replies to a message I subscribe to! I love this place! I've even turned my speakers all the way up to wake me up in the middle of the night if I had a question I really wanted answered. 
A personal transporter would really help me out a lot!! I could leave for work 10 seconds before I had to clock in and I could transport home to get the TX I left on my bed while on the way to the flying field. If the weather was bad that day I'd just go over to the flying field in Califronia. I also wouldn't have any more use for my Passport Escort 8500 radar detector!! It's not my fault I'm chronologically challenged, I was born that way!
Hehehe, check out my new signature!

Thanks for finally setting up a seperate Century Forum.
I see the Review of the Hawk is there on the top. Would you be able to keep it there and also bring up the Falcons SeV2 review to the top of the Century forum also? Then could you leave both there? And move the current (months running now) Quick 30 review out of the main discussion and into the HHI forum?

I'm unsticking my review, I have flown it ,but I'm waiting for my canopy so I can 3-D it. With the other reviews I have going It will be another week before I get to fly the Quick again. The full review will be in the Dec issue of the RCU mag. As far as sticking the other reviews at the top I really see no reason to do that.

Wow, 8:00PM CST and major RCU slow down. I see why a better server is needed now! Time for me to give a donation!
Is there any chance on that "button" coming soon? Browsing 7 different forums when it's this slow can really get on someone’s nerves. Of course I understand that's there’s nothing that can really help right now, it's just that I have a very low PC speed tolerance when it comes to my personal PC. I don't water cool it and stuff 2700 DDR RAM in it just for fun you know!
