Jeff Michael,

I concur on Heli-Direct, I've used them many times over the years and have been very satisfied with the products and speed of delivery, never had a problem with them. Also as you mentioned to Wnuck about the Carbon Fiber main blades, that's all I use, they are the nut-berries. I watched your video of the minor crash with the Typhoon, looks like right at take off, the wind had you going right out of the get go. I did have to LOL, right at the very very end of the video, as you started to walk towards the plane, I could here you whisper, "Damn it".. LMAO We all crash, and you'll crash again too. Loved the picture of the lake.

Jay,

You are overwhelming yourself with fun, great pictures of your outing, and I know you got a thrill flying some of the big ones. I never have, my biggest was a 48 inch wing span.

Jim,

Concerning your tail wag, after the heli sat for awhile. It could be ambient temperature related. It may have been much cooler or hotter than when you posted your video of the first loop. Gyros can be sensitive to the heat, being that they use piezoelectric technoloy. Something to dwell on..

Vic,

Your TH-57 #23 looks awesome. Excellent paint job and details are great.

Well, I'm off to do a little flying myself to day, it's perfect weather. 75 degrees, no humidity and the best part, NO WIND.

Later,
