>We have seen quite a few multi propeller RC choppers but the MegaHex – 6 Propeller RC Chopper takes the cake! This bad boy has enough power to soar to great heights carrying a decent payload. Watch the nice clear video to see MegaHex in action. The MegaHex weighs 2.8kg without batteries and with its 1kg of batteries it can fly for 14 minutes. I am thinking that this technology will put a big dent in helicopter rentals by movie companies.

Sure, you’ve seen bike frame bags before. But have you seen any this gorgeous? Moreover, have you ever seen one made in the USA by “Amish leather workers”? You have now.

This is the Billykirk frame-pouch, a simple, one-chamber bag which straps to the top and seat tubes. It is hand-made in brown leather, and costs an astonishing $145. It will also look just dandy on your fancy fixed-gear or your stately Dutch city bike, should you decide that you can afford it.

The Billykirk fixes in place with belt-style straps and closes with press-in fastenings. These kinds of fixtures will probably outlast your bike, but they’re also a pain to attach and remove, meaning you’re likely to leave your investment either on the bike while parked or at home in a closet. Leaving such a lavish bag out on view might be fine in a homely Pennsylvania village, but don’t try it in NYC.

Do I want one? Of course. Will I buy it? Do the Amish drive cars?
