LOL! I noticed the fish after the shot was taken. That's Dory. My son sat it there while I was cleaning out the shop.

No flying for the T-Rex right now, Tim (inspectortag). The ESC is down on that one.

Hey Tdswan,

The souffle dish is my parts dish. The wife's thrilled I stole it from the kitchen for parts. Yes, the weather's beautiful up here again this week. I may fly the gasser a bit, but no more glow this year. I changed out all of the fuel lines and if I use it now, they'll have to be changed again this spring because they'll break down and crack over time. Plus I don't want to screw around with tuning for the weather changes. There's another up-side to the gassers!

Hmmm, with such an experianced builder/flyer such as your self, it can be tough to find a challenging kit.
I did search about and found one which is certainly no begginers heli, the drive and control system is probably not something you'd have flown before, so that would present a challenge in setting it up.
as for flying, I can only imagine that this beauty would require plenty of skill, but I think it would make a wonderful winter build up, and I'd hope you would take your time and doccument each step in case the rest of us should follow your lead?

hmmmmm! I dunno, that one looks challenging! The parts count is a little high for even my building skills! I wouldn't even begin to know where to put the loctite!

I guess you don't want me to send you anything. :confused:
