assistant: Eddie,
        Fuel ain't so expensive, about 20$ a gallon..35% nitro..the fuel is
relatively fresh ( of the month )..
        As for luck in flying..well I do have my glider pilot license and
understand the fundamentals quite well..
        My first trainer was a cox .049 EZ-BEE II, although small but very
forgiving..made of styrofoam it's agile and inexpensive to fix if anything
happens. ( flies at about 35-50 MPH ) in light winds.
        Next I bumped up to a Hobbico Superstar 40, flew that a while and
then decided to switch on heli's cause the places to fly are restricted.
        Basically I like a challenge, and heli's are a handfull, fun but
demand a concentration that surpasses fltying planes.
        Make your own fuel ?? sounds risky..you must do a lot of bench runs
to make sure that the equation is perfect or else.....engine failure of some
sort.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi,
  Just thought I would pass on a little tip for setting your gyro
direction that could save you from having to deal with the expense of
repairs if it is set too sensitive...
 With the helicopter sitting on the bench, you can turn the radios on
and move the tail to the left or the right. Note the direction that the
servo turns, to assure it is compensating the right direction. You can
input yaw command to verify the direction the servo needs to travel to
correct for unwanted yaw.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello, Stephane...
 Making your own fuel is not so difficult - I used to make it in 55-gal
 quantities for my own club up to several years ago.  A good "sport" mix
 is 20 % oil, 10 % nitromethane, and 70 % methanol (also known as wood
 alcohol or methyl alcohol).  The oil content is critical, any less than
 18 % will ruin an engine, anything higher than 22 % won't run very well.
 Nitromethane is hard to get now since there are no US suppliers - the
 last I bought was obtained from a fuel mfg - he gets it from Germany.
 I suggest using a 50/50 mixture of castor oil and high quality synthetic
 for hot climates (like ours in SC) but you can get by with all synthetic
 in colder climates where the engine heat can be easily dissipated.  We
 live only 75 miles from a fuel mfg, so the club usually buys it in 55-gal
 quantites for about $6.00 US per gallon.  I use big engines (.90 and
 bigger) which CONSUME A LOT of fuel so this price doesn't hurt too much.

Yes, I've seen a couple.  One or two to me and a few to some of the other

it?  I have noticed that things have been slow of late.  Maybe Del is
playing with the net again trying to make it look more like a nine.  Then
again, depending on what times and when our respective BBS's log in to down

assistant: This is true, the only way to set the senitivity is to put it in the
air... But at least you will know that it is going the right direction
before you do it. From my own experience, I have found that it is much
easier to handle it if it's over or under sensative as long as it's
going the right direction. I usually set the sensativity to about 60% to
start and that seems to work pretty good for me.

assistant: Ian,
Check with your local boating supply/repair shop.  They use glass and all
manner of resins on the real stuff.  Typically you can get what you need for
less than going through a hobby supplier since the boat world is where they
get it.  A big name in the boat supplies is Petit which just happens to be
the ones who make the Hobby Poxy line of glues and paints.
Since flying is dead in my area I'm working on boats now.  Currently
building a Dumas, 40 foot Coast Guard utility boat.  It's 37" long and will
use two electric motors.  Not sure what size, my local shop got them and the
gear boxes from Robbe.  I think they're 500's.  Anyway, here's my two cents
worth.  TTYL

Write your reply.

assistant: I can attest to that.  About two years ago when I hired onto my present job,
in the course of conversation I told my boss about the hobby.  Next day a
case of 4 gal of 5% showed up and they gave it to me.  Somehow this stuff
came about a year before when they had ordered a computer part for the
Pentagon.  Well to make a long story short, they gave the fuel to me and it
was at least a year old them.  Worked fine.  I don't have much call for 5%
so I still have some of it and expect it is still just fine.  Treat it like
they treat me at work, keep it in a dark place and read it Del stories all
the time.  :)
