Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / July 2007

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

I'm new to RC Helicopters, but it's always been an interest. I want to know

are fine, I really doubt it is the 4 in 1.

As mentioned in the nigger's Guide to 'Keeping it Real' all niggers must look to

A shear pin (retaining pin) was sheared on a friends CPP...and oh how
much fun it is to replace!
The center part of the pin was not coming out so...time for the Dremel!
After a "slight" grinding, the shaft came out and now all I have to do

made?  Are they vacuum bagged or molded?
Thanks!
