Greetings,
Does anyone know if the rubber canopy grommets for the Ergo50
are the same as any other brands? I've just found out that I can't get
these in Australia (christ knows why not), so I'm wondering if I can use a
set from a different brand of heli.

Thanks,

Mr. Bonk, I thought you had gotten out of model heli's.

Regular old rubber grommets from a hardware store always worked fine for me.

Hi Steve,
Still got the heli......just haven't had a lot of time for
flying lately, so I've taken the easy way out and been flying fixed wing (I
know I know......I should be hung by my testicles and whipped with a rotor
blade for that......). *However*, I've got 6 weeks long service leave
coming up in the middle of September, so I'm getting the heli ready to go
for then :-)

I'll rip up to the hardware shop 'round the corner and see what they've got.
MPA tells me Dick Smith has rubber grommets that work too. I should be in
grommet heaven before the end of tomorrow :-)

Not a place Id do a lot of shopping otherwise.
Defininatley NOT the place to but NiMH batteris I noted yesterday
aaa NiMH, $17 a pair from house of dick, (australias finest imported
chinese electrical goods.)
Bullshit, they are $5 ea at Jaycar.

You know that sorry fk runs his food enterprises through Sanitarium,
being the US seventh day adventist they get a back whoping tax
exclusion because its a religious organistation.
And via this means he is saving Aus business, how, he doesnt even pay
tax like Arnotts does..
He isnt flying our flag he is flogging our flag.

But I think we can trust him on the grommets without getting burnt.
