Borders Group is f.cking with a man who was my employer because I left
my husband.  Donna, mentioned below, says she (Waldenbooks and Borders
Group) are part of the government's mind control system.  It has to do
with their warehouses and UPS and the transport of unconscious

Simple question..  Thumbs only or thumbs and fingers to twiddle the
sticks??
I've only ever used my thumbs on the sticks but I've seen a few videos
of pilots "pinching" the sticks between their thumbs and index

I've recently become interested in one of the micro helis availble as
I have a large warehouse area to fly in here at work.  I've seen the
EFlight Blade CP in person and have read up a bit on the ESky Honey
Bee 2..  Both are similarly priced..  Anyone got any opinions on these

Recently finished a Hirobo .30 Lama and would like to add a set of at least
somewhat scale appearing floats.
Used the Helimax inflatables on my Shuttle in the past, they work OK, but
are subject to blowouts around the seam and are lacking in realism.

    I recently purchased a used Piccolo v2, and it came with a JR400ex
tx, but no manual :(
Anyone know of a PDF I can download of the book? Thanks in advance.

Remember that programme on TV? (One of the Bridges bro's IIRC)
Anyway, I called round at one of my pal's places yesterday (Mr Oil-leak) and
found him and another pal working furiously on one of their heli's so they
could go flying today.

So you like Heli's. What about a Custom made RC Heli about the size of
a Golf Cart that is powered by a Turbine Engine. Just an amazing job of
engineering and construction. Check out this guys Toy and start to
druel..

I am looking for this addon, who has it?

Looking for a decent sim to learn to fly my new Blade.  I really am not
looking to spend a bunch of money though.  Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks.

Anyone in the U.K. know where I can source some spares for this Heli. Fellow
Modeller has just hold of one and it is pretty good condition but does
require a few parts to get it running again (drive belts and pulleys, that
type of thing).

Here's a place to buy low cost RC Products. Wings Over The World. They
got all ready to fly or almost ready to fly planes and helicopters.

There's a new RC shop in town (first one, actually).  I was just in there
looking to see what I could see, and right near the front door was a PC
running Realflight(?) G3.  Now, I've been interested in helis for a long
time, and this looks like an opportunity to get my toe in the ...

I have a raptor 60 and saw a pic of the new MD-530 fuselage which is
also made by thunder tiger specifically for the raptor 60/90.
Does anyone own one yet or have any info on it?  
The only thing I know for sure is that it incorporates the existing

Anticipating needing a new battery pack for one of my transmitters,
I've been looking online for batteries to replace it.
I found www.batteriesamerica.com and they've got what I need for (what
I think is) a pretty decent price.
