Choppersrule Here:
Haven't posted for awhile, just busy. Bad time of year for me, to much on my platter.
Sounds like everyone is having a good time with minimal problems. Usually, when I check this thread, any problems have already been responded to and you guys beat me to the punch, hence less input, from the Old Chopper.
Barrick/ Rick, our dearest friend:
Looks like your having a great time with that tiny little heli in your picture. I had one, but never could get it right. Your skills are much more fined tuned than mine. My brain doesn't always understand which way to push the sticks.

Take it a day at a time and have some fun during that day.
Pongo:
You could use a small wheel collar to hold the tail rotor on. Keep in mind, that in the event of a crash, things could break. The tubing is a tool used, so that it does pop off.
Noguy:
Like you, always some wind and I guess we just have to deal with it. Crashes or not. I live in Tornado Alley in Indiana, the wind blows all the time. You can look out the window a 6:00 AM and it's to windy to fly. 10:00 PM same thing, to windy. I'll practice, hovering and slow forward, left right nose in, in the garage. Sometimes, it's so windy, I have to keep the garage door closed. Kites maybe better.
Crashcrash:
I just ordered a bunch of stuff from JAGS. The HBK II is pretty sweet for the money.
