and fuel. I have a brand new awesomely custom painted body for it that has
never been put on too. I am looking for a raptor 30v.2 at ...

I've been away from the fixed wing rc stuff for about a decade.  I
returned only to find everyone trying to fly planes like they're
helicopters.  Cool stuff, but not really my thing.
Anyway.  I'm starting down the long road of heli flying with zero

I am wondering if anyone could supply some details of Heli's or at
least point me to a comparison site.
I am interested in the weight, speed and total time of flight (fuel
and battery) for

I have a simple drawing of a new trainer online.  I dont have a heli (NOT
YET).  But can you give my your comments.

video and stills, I see the name John Ohnemus and his company (Airfoil)

Piccolo, and am interested in also getting something larger - but still
electric.
Can you give me your impressions of the Lite Machines Corona (120)? Would

I'm not sure if my last post went through.
If it did, pardon the repetition.
Does anyone know the nominal operating temperature of an OS 50SH-H?

Would it be possible to fly and hover decent with a Eco V2 and a GWS
piccoboard.

I currently have a Z-TS with a .32 size OS engine, but seeing as in the
UK it's soo windy or rainy most of the time i can barely get to fly it.
 I *do* howver have access to a hangar-size indoor area where i can
