11-22-2008 <Here> is a page on 120 eCCPM setup. I actually started this back in April but just never finished. This setup is specific to the t600n and DX7 radio but in general applies to any 120 degree eCCPM setup.

11-16-2008 A123 batteries. Okay these have been out a couple of years but I just started using them six weeks ago. For more info click <here>.

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.
