RE: Warbirds over Tulsa, Sep. 11th & 12th
Hey Stan, really getting itchy for this event. Looking for a really good turnout. Hopefully the weather cooperates and we have a great time! My Fokker DVII is ready and I'm going to try to get the Sopwith Tripe up too (if the wind will lay down a bit). I have decided it has to fly, crash or get sold. She takes up too much room in the shop to just be a hanger queen! Then after the this event, I'll be starting on my Vailly Aviation 1/5 scale Hawker Hurricane.

RE: WARBIRDS OVER OKLAHOMA 2010
Hi Rich! I love your yellow DVII. We will fly them together again. As for a SE5a, I'll yell at Brian Hole from Anderson, MO. He builds a very nice model and has a 1/4 scale SE5a from Balsa USA. He also has a 1/3 scale Neiuport 17 and Dale Locander from Eureka Springs, AR has a 1/3 DVII. I'll work them both to make your event.

RE: Western Front Dawn Patrol 2010
Hi Dean, Brian Hole and Dale Locander from Arkansas Dawn patrol told me about your event and I am really looking forward to making a trip up to fly with you all. Your event is a week after our Warbirds over Tulsa even here at the Tulsa Gluedobber field. I like to invite you all down to make some dawn patrols with us. You can find a thread in this forum about our event and we'll have more info posted soon on the web site.

RE: Later guys
[quote]ORIGINAL: brac1960 No offence to Nutt, every one is entitled to his or her opinion, but I did see him say on one of his videos, not to buy a Dx6i radio because the programing rollers were F****ng junk!! I really don't think thats fair to Spektrum who may be a sponsor or at least paying for there ads on this forum. With out those sponsors this forum would not be as fantastic as it is. I would hope he talked to Spektrum about the problem before posting such a video, if so, and they did nothing about it, then that would perhaps be justified. I can honestly say that if I ever have a problem with my Dx6i, and it was honestly a defect in the product, I would contact spectrum first, and if they refused to help, I would be very upset and would likely do the same thing, but I don't think I would expect to get away with a statement like that on this or any forum, with out some kind of recourse. I'm sure that Spektrum would be all over RC universe about that, if they knew???? [/quote] All I can say to that is HUH!... and that after five months the brushed motor in my HBK2 is still performing flawlessly.

I've ordered from just about every genuine, bona fide vendor (and I don't include hobbyists with affiliates that hang around R/C forums in that catagory) more than once and I was a little dissapointed with the time it took Ehirobo to ship one order but other than that I've never had a problem.

Futaba GY-601 Gyro & 9251 Servo. If you're lucky it might work, and if you're really lucky it might even work better than a $38.00 Esky Head holding gyro and a $13.00 Hitec servo.

RE: Brushless Motor for Honey Bee King 2 ???
I don't see any problem with Esky motors, I'm using an Esky 1200KV in my HDX 500 and it rocks. Still using the brushed motor that came with my HBK2 that I got in January, and the 3800KV in my belt cp is still cooking. Danlion might be good motors, it's hard to say, one can't find any information on the net about them, whoever manufacturers them doesn't seem to want to claim them and I like my parts to be available from more than one source in the world in case there is a storm or something.

That's not really an econonic stimulus check. It's a gift from the government to the banks, most people will use it to make a payment on their credit cards.
