 A still photo of 2 RC helis crashing in to each other.  They seem to have a
faction at this club that enjoys full contact dogfighting.

Okay, as pathetic as it sounds I finally dragged out my old Pentium 66
to play this on as it won't work with Windows XP.  The controller is
here and fine but I can't find the disk with the simulator on it.  I
can't even find the company that made it (assuming out of business) so

Looks great , download does not work !!!

Fellow flyers,
I'm trying to move from figure 8s to stall turns and loops.  Stuff
I've read says to fly 2 mistakes high.  Does that mean that you have a
chance at saving one mistake without a crash?

Does anyone know of a upgrade part for the starter shaft as the pin always

Thanks
Andy

Thanks

I am interested in them, Have 3 Heli's that would carry these no problem.

I am considering purchasing a Feda Dragonfly.  My local hobby shop
sells one for $250.  I see them on the Internet (ebay and other places)
for less than half that amount with $30-35 shipping fees and statements
that the packages are shipped direct from Hong Kong.  So, I can ...
