RE: Which way do they fly Down Under?
Clockwise and counter-clockwise are ALWAYS defined as looking down from above the action being observed. Yeah, ok, propeller rotation as viewed from the front. Every club I've ever been to has the traffic pattern flying counter-clockwise. We may change direction of takeoff and landing (left to right or right to left) to accommodate the breeze, but once airborne, it's always counter-clockwise (as viewed from above). I've only ever visited flying fields in the US, but have always suspected that south of the hemisphere the pattern is clockwise. I figure it has to do with the rotation of the earth, the Coriolis Effect, that affects ocean currents, air movement and yes, the water draining down a pipe.

RE: FASST receivers
Never mind. I found the answer - no appreciable difference!

FASST receivers
The receiver that came with the 6EX transmitter that I purchased is the R607FS receiver. I notice online that it looks like only the R617FS receiver is being sold now, so I assume that the 607 is an older version. Can you tell me what the difference is between the two?

Futaba FASST receivers
Is there any chance that the price of the Futaba R617FS will be lowered? I would really like to purchase an additional receiver, but have a tough time justifying the cost. Most similar receivers are half that price!

RE: Half A Diamond
I too, would like information on this airplane. You are correct in that it was all foam and it was for that engine size.

RE: Sabre Strike
I believe it's made by Fly Zone, but no mention of it on their website. Only found one reference to it on the web! Must be brand new.

Sabre Strike
Anyone got one of these new coaxial electric helis? I'm not sure of the manufacturer's name, but my LHS is selling these for $50. Rotor is about 7 inches diameter with a wire/plastic hoop connecting the ends of each rotor. 3 channel and RTF.

Anyone out there collect old r/c radio systems? I've got a 4 channel World Engines Blue Max sytem that I learned to fly on way back when. It's complete with tx., rx., 4 servos and switch. Also a single channel Mattel, transmitter only. If there's any interest, I may post it for sale in the classifieds on this site. Ed

RE: LHS in Orlando
By all means, you must stop in at Graves R/C. They have just about everything, new and some used. Absolutely incredibly well stocked, they recently expanded their car and heli areas. They are located not far from I-4. Take the Lee Road exit west, go about 2 miles and turn right onto US 441 (Orange Blossom Trail). The store is just ahead on the left.
