LOL It takes me back to when I used to work in a hobby shop LOL, day after day building them selling them then rebuilding them a week l8r LOL

Hearing that noise and smelling that nitro gives me acid flashbacks of sitting in a small poorly ventelated room trying to get the damn things running again

I have sworn never to touch another RC car again

LOL Helicopters where something I left well alone I always left that to the customer as they knew more about them than me. But that said if it is fixed pitch shurley the only thing that needs to be set up other that the swash plate (that should be factory set) is the trim on the tail rotor?

PMSL

Corni,

I know an exceptional model shop who will set up your heli,

Colis Bliss Models in Maldon. Colin is a fair few times british helicopter champion and is an awesome flyer.

Get it down there and he will set it up for you perfectly.

Says our latest convert..

2 weeks ago it was..

"You lot are a bunch of gays with your silly remote control cars"

Today its

"C'mon frayz.. lets get the nitro scooby out....

you can drive"

I also noticed a certain Mr Stephens also knocking the ESRC'ers today... when someone mentioned a set of "wets"

How long before Phil has a Touring car, Stadium truck and Heli then?

Now broke the tail boom, got so naffed off trying to make it hover, I put full throttle on, and it just flies out of control, you just can't correct the thing, elevator and eilerons are not responsive, the rudder is about the only thing that works!
