Anyone has done a scale heli for R50v2 or R60v2?
I am flying a R30 now. I am thinking of getting a new heli (mechanics
only) that will allow me to fit a scale fuselage (possibly Bell 222) in
the future. Any advice?

I know some flyers who got rid of their FF9C and are using JR9x now.
I actually bought a used FF9CHP Tx from them and is still quite happy
with it.
However, I am rather concern, since they did mention it is because of

Due to the usual excuses I've not been able to fly my 'bloody toy' as the
wife calls my beloved shuttle for about a year now, itching to get back into

I have recently purchased a helicopter and as part of the package, brought a
Futaba FF7 Super.

I am looking to upgrade the stock Century muffler on my Hawk 30. I am
wondering what the differences are between the Century Speed Torpedo
type of muffler compared to their 30 Series Tuned Pipe? I am still a
beginner so I don't want a pipe/muffler that I am going to have to

Hi all, I need some advice on an 8 year old Robbe Futura Gold. I have had a
recurring problem with the standard bell gear stripping, and have installed
the upgrade Delrin gear part number S4468. The gear meshing was incredibly
tight, and as there is no way to adjust the clearance ...

Does anyone else have trouble getting hold of spares JR heli's, it's got so
bad lately that I don't want to push the limits of my flying in case I crash
and have to wait a month for spares.
Is this common for others or am I suffering because I've got a Vigor CS.
