I'm making a lazy susan, and was wondering... What's the distance between
the skids on a 90 size?
Thanks.

Hi.. has tried both TT39 engine and OS37 engine?

I have the Reflex-Sim XTR (www.reflex-sim.de) sim installed here, and if
anyone is interested, I can post screenshots from it.
Just state wich model (aircraft or 'copter) you want to see and I'll try to
get a nice screenshot at different locations.

I am a FNG going solo (local club doesn't like helicopters), and I
have just finished my first gallon in my ARTF Raptor V2. I can just
about keep a decent hover in the back garden, and I am now practicing
side hovering.

I bought a piccolo plus, and since putting it together I have not been able
to stop it from drifting left.  No matter how much right I put in it still
drifts quite severly to the left.  Not a yaw problem that I got fixed with
the mixer.  Any and all suggests most welcome.

I am thinking of getting into the heli realm of R/C (I've been in
trucks and boats area for over 10 years now) and I was wondering if
there are any fields or flying places in the Philadelphia area that I
could go to if/when I do get a heli and to check out and talk with

Can anyone explain to me how a RC Jet Helicopter works, or where to find
information on this? I guess they wouldn't use a clutch as the jet engine
rotates at a much higher rpm.

Thanks for your help. I did find some pictures of the vario in kit for
on the net.
One last question....I have the chance of getting a Larry Jolly 60 siz
fuselage. Which one is best, the Vario or the Larry Jolly model?

Anyone know where I can buy servo wire and connectors (UK please) for making
up my own leads? Tried Maplin but they don't have anything suitable, as far
as I can see. Ideally, I'd like to use the colour coded flat ribbon cable as
used by the servo manufacturers, but that's not ...

My throttle stick on my 8U is ratchet and sprung, but is there a way to
remove the ratchet and still have it stick to position? Has anyone done
this?
