What pitch range do/should I set to start with?
Currently -5 to +11 should I set it for 0 to +10
Number 2 in my daft question list

Morning all...
Perhaps a silly question, but a question never the less....
To fly a chopper upside down(which I assume constitutes as 3D) do you
require a Governer of some kind.  As I increase the throttle on my JR

We do appear to have gotten off on the wrong foot my dear chap.  You rather
misinterpreted my first posts, however, before things get ludicrous and,
even though you swore at me, I appologise.  I am sorry that you
misinterpreted my humour and I am sorry that you felt in someway ...

I subscribed to this newsgroup to learn about flying radio-control
helicopters.
So far, I have learned that:
1. People from the UK do not like people from the US.

Quite a few months ago someone posted a link to a video clip of someone
attempting to fly a full size heli and crashing it!
please supply the link again, it was a classic!
thanks,

Well, my 12 year old Shuttle ZXX went in today.  Nothing worth salvaging
except the engine, radio and some aftermarket metal parts.
So what should I replace it with?
I would like to use my existing OS32FH unless there's a good engine +

Spent the day up at the gliding club, took heli to play with too.
It was absolutely glorius.
+8 Deg C

I have the following R/C items for trade. I would prefer to trade this stuff as
an entire lot but feel free to make me an offer on one or all. If you can come
and pick this stuff up in person I will make you a great deal on all of it as
I'd prefer not to have to ship it. I am ...

Hello, and let me apologize in advance for probably a stupid question.
Anyways, I have a new Raptor 30 V2 with the TT39 engine. I've put about 4
hours on it so far and it has flown great until today. First flight today
would hardly get off the ground at full throttle. I sat it down ...

I have just got a Futaba 9C transmitter and a PCM receiver and was wondering
what failsafes I need to set.
Thanks

I just put together a Raptor 30 v2 and would like a recommendation for
inexpensive servos. I don't want to do any 3D, just fly around.
If I could get by for less than $20/servo, that would be great. BTW I
have a JR Tx/Rx, but I can change connectors if I have to.

Just spent the morning flying planks on heli juice and noticed that whereas
it is quite smokey in choppers it is as clean as a nuns dreams in me planks.
Fuel is Bekra 10%.
I this to do with operating temps or do you suppose it just gets blown away

what is the difference betwen HELISWH1,HELISWH2 ETC setups on my  FF9 as I
dont know which to set my new Heli up with, its a Nexus 30
