11-13-2008 Antonis Linakis has offered to make a Greek version of my website <here>. It would be great to have this site translated into several other languages.

11-9-2008 just got back from the Sulphur, Louisiana heli event. I got to watch a V-Bar setup. I have wanted an electronic flybar for several months now. I am still deciding what to get but the V-Bar is high on the list.

11-9-2008 I have given up on the T-Rex 600N. I am not going to bash it, after 382 tanks I simply have problems with the quality of the components. The final straw was a few weeks ago when the blade grip split at the bolt hole. Also I was not able to get this heli to fly smooth like I am use to with my Raptor so I am back to flying Raptor #5 and it has been so much more fun. I don't have to concentrate on being smooth, the heli simply flys this way by its nature. And I am back to enjoying autos again, the Raptor does them so much better then the t600n!

11-9-2008 tip: Having trouble with the glow plug extension breaking? One possible cause is a long wire. In flight this wire can move around a lot which will break down the connections on both ends. A simple fix is to zip tie the wire to the frame.

11-9-2008 tip: While at the event one of the guys I was helping with a R50v2 had the side of his clutch bell seperate from the top. This can be caused by a combo of two problems. One is having up/down play in the start shaft and the second is having a loose fit of the pinion bearing to the pinion gear. With both occuring this will let the clutch bell sit on top of the clutch.
