Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / April 2007

Went to the OCHC club in Brea, CA yesterday, had a great time.
Was wondering if there was a similar club closer to the Huntington Beach
area.

I have just fitted a Futaba 401 gyro with S9254 servo to my shuttle.
Having taken it to the field to have it set up, as I am quite helis, the
gyro sensitivity was set up on my FF9 using the endpoint adjustments rather
than the gyro sensitivity. When I asked, why I was told that ...

hiya.
What is the best product to clean the exhaust oil from an I-C model ?
Im using washingup liquid at the moment but that doesnt rearly clean
but just makes it wet...

Just wondering why there are larger versions of a blade-cx-type heli out
there. Seems that the ease of use would merit a larger version (with the
same blade configuration). Are there technical reasons why a larger
version would be troublesome?

How much did your  jr 9 cost you.

I'm going to have a second attempt at learning helis. Girlfriend doesn't
seem totally depressed by the thought of me doodling with toy helictopers!
This time though I'm going to keep it clean and tidy with an electric (have
my eyes on a T-Rex).

I have a little experience with some small RTF electric helicopters.
I was kind of thinking about getting a Century Hawk, but I'm not at
all familiar with fuel powered helis or building one from a kit.  How
hard is it for someone starting out to build a helicopter from a kit,

I've just gone through 2 Havoc's, on my third now in 2 weeks.  The first 2
were purchased at a super wally-mart here in Phoenix, AZ.  The first 2 were
so unstable out of the box that it was next to impossible to fly them with
any real control.  The 3rd one, which I got tonight works ...

Does anyone have recommended settings to approximate a Shuttle ZXX,
and or a Xcell gasser.  Thanks John

 New to this group, and have a question. Does anyone know of an
electric Kit/ARF/whatever, of the Bell 47G helicopter?
Thanks,
Bill

My nephew, 20, has mastered the Twister Bell, he says (i havent seen him
fly) and he's after the next machine up.  He wants electric (hence my
question, or I'd suggest a Raptor) and his aim, ultimately, is 3D.  Any
suggestions?
