Thanks guys for the replies! Thanks Balance for the correction of my 'technical jargon.' At least now I know what to call it...blue thinghy just didn't sound right, but that was the best I could come up with!!!LOL Oh well, at least you knew what I meant even if I didn't! Also, thanks for the trim tips, together with everything else I've learned in the last day or two, your tips will come in handy! THANKS!!

DrunkYoda, I agree that you guys seem to get the same questions over and over again from us n00bs, but what sets this forum apart from most of the others is patience. You guys appear to have tons of it and that speaks volumes as to the kind of people you guys are. This is only a personal observation but you people here appear to have a true desire to help other people enjoy what ya'll are already experiencing....flying choppers!! (do they even use the term 'chopper' anymore?)

Okay, now for another question....just what is the 'swashplate' and where is it located? See, I'm more of a n00b than you thought, huh? I'm sure I could figure it out, but I just want to make sure I don't screw up too badly. I know what the servos are and what they look like and I even know what the servo arms are, but I just want to make sure about the swashplate.

Thanks again gentlemen for your help, it IS much appreicated. Trust me...."I'll Be Back!!"
