gentlemen OF THE BOB persuasion:
Yes, it is a bit dead around here.
When not in our ORIGINAL THREAD, where are you hanging out at ?
Other places, to learn other things ? - I see CRASHCRASH and ARROWNAUGHTIC are online, but not HERE !
This morning having planned for the RAPTOR start-up : arrived at the R/C field and found 50+ cars = 100 + people present. Had forgotten it was planned for the TOYS FOR TOTS show.
Experts glanced at the RAPTOR and promised to get to it sometime in the future. Maybe in December ?--The heli is in two parts and I am not planning to set it up by myself.
So: came home and hovered the HBK 2 yellow; the white seems to be unbalanced and needs a CRASHCRASH feathering shaft. I don't have 5.5mm thingys so it has to wait.
With the yellow HBK2 I finally was able to try the new tray holding the transmitter. As I expected, the tray works VERY WELL and my control of the flight is much improved,
having removed the weight of the transmitter from holding it with the hand. I recommend a tray for heli flying. it works for me.. I find that the more I practice, the more
tense and nervous I become. Is this natural ? for everybody? ... the CP-PRO is a total washout : it went from a good/fair flyer to a big nofly overnight, Don't know what went wrong overnight ?
The FS-ONE sim is working great, so I am practicing on that.
********I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. LOOKYJ ? anybody knows ?******
Mr.CHOPPERSRULE ? why, "EXACTLY" did you decide to get rid of your T-REX ? [ I keep thinking about just that]

Bummer you walked into a benefit fly. Yeah....you gotta get the feathering shaft replaced on the white one. As far as the CP-Pro...they do that. One minuet good, next minuet bad. Glad you like the tray. I knew guys in the flying club that swore by them (planks), I could never get comfortable with it when I tried one. As far as hanging out and info....NewVersion thread and the HBKII tuner thread....but not much anymore. There's quite a bit of talent on the tuner thread for the HBKII but this is home. Haven't heard from LookyJ in quite a spell...he might be busy. Today would have been a GREAT day for the Corsair....wished I had one. I just get bored with the glider so I don't fly it...it just sits.
