Write your reply.

assistant: Timing is basically the number of degrees (like in a compass) that the
brushes are offset from the magnets in the can of the motor.  If you advance
the timing slightly (putting the timed brushes in one direction) you will
get more top end speed from the motor, as well as a hotter motor.  If you
retard the timing (by flipping the brushed upside down) you will get less
speed, but a nice power boost in the low end of the motor (more torque).
I don't believe that it effects run time any, but I may be wrong on this.
You can also make your own timed brushes by cutting full size brushes down
to size with an xacto knife.  But I would buy the first set you use so you
get an idea of what they look like and how they work.  Most of the ones I've
seen come with little picture diagrams describing how to put them in for
speed or for torque.

I agree to an extent. I don't think I gave him a hard time 'til he got
defensive. I was just speaking my thoughts, that I believed it was redundant
and that both the existing echos had no problems handling FS/W traffic. Now
if we were having problems, then I could see starting a new echo.
Ayep.
Cut over? Not sure what you mean. WHIRLYBIRDS isn't a replacement for any
echo and I never left the RC echos (or AVIATION or FLYING, for that matter
(both of which tend to be fixed wing discussion for the most part)). It
covers _all_ aspects of helicopters (or anything that hovers), from the ones
you ride in, to the ones you fly RC. Some people got the wrong idea that it
was an _RC_ heli echo. It is not.
Your FIDONET.NA must have been an old one.
Remember, WHIRLYBIRDS _isn't_ just RC helis...
Not always. Some echoes get quiet for a few days, then get a few messages,
then a lively discussion. It's sometimes a viscious circle. ;) This echo as
well as WHIRLYBIRDS is no exception.

Yes the Fort Worth Tunderbirds. Among our clubs bragging rights are the 1st,
2nd, and 3rd place winners in the 42% races at Muncie this year were all from
the club. A few other members you might have heard of are Chuck Cunningham (
