ATTN: Chip Hyde
Chip I hope all is well. I need to discuss something with you about the 2002 TOC. I know you lost EVERYTHING in the house fire in 2009 including your 2002 TOC Ultimate Bipe, your Trophy and a pretty much everything else. Well old buddy ... Remember the Prop you gave me off the Bipe after the awards were handed out and we were all knocking back beers in your pit area? I was wondering if you wanted it as a reminder of your victory in the LAST TOC that will EVER be held. I was so sad to hear later that year about Bill Bennet's passing and with him, the Vegas Invitational TOC died as well. Please send me a private message here or look me up on Facebook.

RE: What happened to Skyborn Electronics ???
[quote]ORIGINAL: JollyPopper Are these $95.00 tachs significatly more accurate than the $25.00 tachs you can buy anywhere? And if you are off by 100 RPM, so what? [/quote] OK ... The TNC Tach is commonly refered to "The tach for the pros". Yes ... to the average RC Pilot, +/- 100 PRM is not a big deal. However, for a Pilon Racer who has an engine turning 27,000 or so RPM? YES ... +/- 100 RPM is a HUGE difference. No other tach out there will read that high as accurate as the TNC. The TNC can read 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 bladed props from up to 6 feet away and the it can check your Heli, Ducted Fan and Turbine. In short ... with a TNT, you need no other tach. My $0.02 ~D~

RE: What happened to Skyborn Electronics ???
Skyborne Electronics was sold in 2004. The new owner knew NOTHING about the RC Industry. In fact, he failed to make payments to the original owners. They got a court order to sieze the company's assests. When they went to the warehouse, it was empty. The guy who "bought" the company had skipped town ... taking about $250,000 worth of merchandice and equipment. ~D~
