Hirobo: Sceadu Evolution

Model Airplane News, Oct 2003

Updating a successful product design is inherently risky; just how much should you tamper with success? That was the question facing the folks at Hirobo as they contemplated the release of the Sceadu Evolution. Given the popularity of the original Sceadu 30/50, it was decided that the changes should be progressive without being drastic-hence the name "Evolution." Key changes include more durable plastic parts, a larger fuel tank (480cc, up from 330), a new rotor-head design that's more reactive for 3D maneuvers, a chassis that can accommodate any 50-size heli engine and a third-bearing block as standard equipment. The best news for current Sceadu owners is that the new parts can all be retrofitted to the original Sceadu design. The 30-size base with wooden blades and a muffler is expected to cost about $300; the 50-size without blades or muffler is expected to cost $400.

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
