Sure, but let's make the plans in private, so we don't clutter the echo with
one-on-one chat. Remember, this is a national echo conference. We don't want
to bore everyone to tears with our plans for a weekend (unless it's of
general interest to others across the country. :).
How did ya do? By the time you read this, it'll probably be Sunday night.
Tell the others here what you have for planes, helis and gear, so they can
get to know you as a flyer a bit better.
Ooops! Maybe too late to do this today anyway, huh? I haven't even had a
chance to dust it off yet... ;)
I'll call ya or leave a private message.
Cycle the batts? I envision a bunch of bats cycling around the neigborhood...
;)
Seriously, I have two sets for the chopper. Is that generally enough? I've
been able to use just one, when I was running it in and (somewhat) setting it
up. Of course, the gyro was never (or seldom) turned on... ;)

assistant: Hello Everyone
My name is Mike and I am a Heli pilot.I have been flying RC for over 10
years. I was told that there were not to many of us in this area. I do
know quite a few in my area and the number continues to grow. I have set
up many types of machines and have taught many people to fly. I have
also fixed many setup problems with more advanced flyers. If I can help
anyone here I would be more than happy to. Just let me know.(RIGHT RICK?)
   I also enjoy flying RC planes but the heli's give me more of a rush.
I am also a full scale plane pilot with a float rating.
I look forward to talking to some of you in the future.
                                              Happy Hovering

Remember this is a MODE 1 radio... You've been warned!
It's a few years old, but used 1 Summer. 5 servos. You will not be able to
use this radio for AMA or other official club sanctioned events, because the
frequency used is not a legal one.

assistant: Hey,
             I bought a Heli last summer ( LMH-100 ) from light machine
corporation.  It flies rather well, I haven't got much time on the sticks.
The weather has been slowing me down.  If you haven't heard of the LMH-100
it's a fixed pitch main rotor, dual flapping blade suspension.  Powered by a
mighty .051 ( with throttle sleeve ), makes a nice weeezing sound but works
great.
        I flew planes for about 4 years then got the rush for heli's..what a
rush when that baby floats off the ground for the first time !!
        Anyways, I'm new in the ottawa region, I don't have a clue where the
clubs are, I just fly where there is a field and not kids running around !!
                                                Fixed wings are a breeze !!!

Being new to the heli express you know how frustrating it can be.
Since you are a novice you really need someone to help you.
I had to learn on my own and it was a very slow proccess.
It makes me sick when I see someone who has had help really advance
when it took me three times the time to do.
But, then again I have done a lot of experementing so I have done almost
everything stupid that you can do.
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
It will save you a lot of time and MONEY.
Talk to you later Dave.

I love to do them and the faster the better.
I fly way up here in MAINE and you must get the flying in when you can.
I can't fly with gloves on so I don't do much flying in the winter.
It has been a real hard winter and now is just the time to start flying

pleasent 18 degrees celcius ( about 78 fht)..had a couple of mishapps, landed
hard when a gust of wind brought me down hard !! bent mt tail rotor shaft (
damn !! )but I'll be up in a week or two..
         I love the rush and someday, just maybe I'll be able to afford a
heli that will allow me to go inverted !!
        Gotta get ready for the next flight, the weekend weather sounds

fly or will it affect the tail rotor and the gyro ?? because it's curved a
bit to the left when you look from the back ( about 1/4 inch or so )

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, that would probably depend on the tail rotor dirve system...If it
is a wire or tube drive, yes, it will effect you greatly, your ship will
shake...BIG TIME! If it is a belt drive, it will probably fly OK, but I
would be concerned about wear on any bushings and or bearings in the
tail rotor dirve system.
  I'm the pro? Gee thanks!, I have only been flying for about a year,
but I do have two Concept 30's for spare parts, and almost a complete 60
size also for parts. <G> Fortunatly though, Paul Soha is in the same
local flying club that I am in so I have managed to pick up a few
pointers from a real pro.
 What kind of heli are you flying?

There are four heavy gauge wires (red/black/yellow/white) that I assume go to
the batteries and motor and two smaller gauge wires (black/white) that must
go to the reciever... there may have been a small red wire along with these
that has broken off, I'm not sure...
Any help will be appreciated...
