Awesome. For an event that started with a rained off day on Friday, I burnt
to a frazzle on Saturday and Sunday. It rained Saturday evening but that
didn't stop a few demo flights later on. AND we had some night-flying,
around about midnight. Unbelievable, first time I've seem night ...

Using an IR thermometer on my OS 61 SXH WC and pointing it at the side
fins of the cylinder I get a reading of 130 degrees C after 10 minutes
flying at 1700 rpm on a concept 60. Is this too hot? There is plenty

I live in Denver, CO (elevation 5280 feet) and I was thinking about getting
a Hornet/Piccolo/Hummingbird. I was curious to know how those machines

experience with these helis at this altitude? Thanks.

i have been "lucky" enough to have been given a rc helicopter. now
this is an old concept 30, with a 6 channel tx. now can i use this 6
channel or do i need to get one that is made for helicopters.
secondly does any one know of a way of using the tx without a training

I wanted to get into helis, but couldn't afford a new, setup, complete
system, so I got
one in an auction on eBay. I did get the engine, servos, recvr, gyro, etc.

Anyone come across this before?
A guy was flying his 2 week old Caliber when it suddenly nosedived at
height from straight and level flight into the ground.
On investigation the FF8 seems to have reset itself to the internal

Sent the kids and wife way for a few days, got the whole time just to fly.
