Similar to the Radios question in another thread -  just curious to know
whether people her prefer Futaba to JR or vice versa ?  Also is there a
general consensus on whether digitals are worth the money,  if so which
ones are best ?

A few years ago I remember a page somewhere that had excellent instructions on
how to use these 2 together.  I've done a Dejanews search and can't seem to
find it. Can anybody help me out.

Germany or local Vario dealer. Model complete with all instructions and
paperwork. Good sports heli (more than 20 degrees total pitch ...

I decided to check all the linkages in my Shuttle after fitting a new gyro
cheers Carl :-) and I've noticed that I only get about 9 degrees of cyclic
deflection(out of a possible 30ish) before 'something' starts to bind. Is
this enough for a good cyclic response?

Anyone tell me the initial stick movements for a chaos launch?  Buggered oif

Dear sirs,
I just got a used gasser (x cell 60) without any manual.  It has a
Zenoah (sp?) engine and graphite body.  I am somewhat familiar with
glow heli's  (I've been flying them off and on for about 5 years).
