a few months(?) ago i found a webadress with many pictures of a
scale-turbin-Lama in nearly all assembly-states. It then was unfinished,
should be finished now?

I've just bought a V3 HummingBird as my 1st introduction to r/c
helicopters...
It seems great but I was wondering if I can fit bigger batt's to allow me to
fly longer...? (when I learn that is).

I want to take aerial pictures from a couple of hundred or so feet up, in
public places. I think for the most part a model heli is not acceptable

I recently purchased a GMP Cricket in need of a few bits and pieces,
and hope this might be a good place to find them.
I am so new to Helicopters that I don't even know what to call the

WHATS THE BEST ENGINE FOR A RAPTOR 30 V2 ANYONE HELP

Is anyone using the Spectra in the 9C? I used to use a Spectra in the 8U and
it was great. There is a lot of disclaimer and such now trying to prevent
the use of Spectra synthesizer in the Futaba 9C. Legal mumbo jumbo aside,
does it work electronically. I know it does initially ...

My Piccolo seems to have developed a slow wobble around the mast a few

to land. I recently upgraded from the fixed pitch to the collective version
and this is when the wobble first appeared. I have tried a ...
