Ever hear of HS Motors?

I've had a couple of SH engines. They don't like high nitro, 10% at the most. Both of mine would detonate on 30%. There is also a problem with the low end mixture setting vibrating out of...

Most helicopter fliers fly with an AMA club. I'd suggest that you visit the local clubs and see if they are "Helicopter Friendly". There are two local clubs in my area and both have helicopter...

Camera for flight videos and still pics????

basmntdweller,

Regardless of which camera you get you'll still have to get a video input card to get the video into the computer. I have had several over the years and most of the newer firewire...

"HELP" Getting "Re"-Started
