RE: What Is The Purpose Of The Mid Range Needle

Fritz, I understand what you are saying, but what then would be the purpose of using your stick at 3/4. For someone that is fairly new to flying it would make the heli a lot more sensitive to fly it...

RE: Cleaning Solvents, What do you use?

Any idea what that Helis costs? I see to add the Novatel GPS systems is $8000 +$3000 for the yearly satelite subscription. Price must be horrific. But I do think it would be a real good challenge to...
