I'm curious as to how a heli gyro works.  Has anyone taken one apart?

I'm getting close to running my Raptor 50V2 for the first time, and
have a few questions, two of which sound to simple, so don't shoot me
down in flames:-)
1. The manual doesn't give any info about tail rotor pitch setp. Any

I'm new to the RC world. Only had an RC truck years ago from ToysR'Us.
I am interested in an indoor/outdoor (around my 1 acre yard)
helicopter probably electric (reduced noise). For a $500 budget,
what's the best choice (or choices) I have. Thanks a lot!

I'm in the precess of assembling my first Raptor 50 and am
wondering......
......Should the many tiny linkage balls which are held to the plastic
moldings with little self tapping screws be tight, or left to rotate

Just "uniflowed" the Raptor 50 fuel system, and What a difference! A
constant run all the way through the tank, AND header tank, without any sign
of leaning out! Also managed to lean the OS out three more clicks and did

OK, i made a mistake & sold up a couple of years back but now i'm back on
the scene. I did have a fully loaded X-Cell Pro2k guided by a Futaba9Z w/c.
What is a good machine currently although i have ideas of my own but any
useful input would be welcome.

The Airwolf is fully equipped with deadly weapons and when the dogs of
my neighbour come into my garden, my Airwolf will scare them away !
An if burglars want to steal, my Airwolf will shoot rockets into their
butts!

Like it says in the subject line.
I want To Buy a Webra 52 AAR preferably low to 0 time

I have an old (1995) Garmin 90 which I used to use in my aeroplane.  I had
an odd occurence of the unit dumping all of it's pre installed way points
(which H Mendelsshon thought I'd caused by meddling, which I didnt!!)
However, the plane has long gone and I'm doing more sailing ...

I've just purchased a Raptor 50 V2 with a Thunder Tiger Pro 50 Engine
which should be coming next week.
Their seems to be a bewildering array of fuel available, with
different percentages of nitro.

Ran across this site yesterday that was selling fully functional
helicopters for only $40!. Since I am a poor pilot, I can buy these
