| Hi fellas. KJ here. I'm a new member to this site. This my second time here. I was just reading the replies "FrankieG" got from his first post,and I'm amazed at the welcome he received. I hope you welcome me with half as much enthusiasm. I need all the help I can get. Like all of you I too am a musician. I'm 42 and have played guitar since I was 9. I don't play as much anymore but occasionally I break out the axe and grind a little. My new addiction is r/c heli's. In 4 months I have gone from a 2 ch micro to a 3 ch micro to a 3 ch co-axial to a 4 ch Honey Bee f/p with metal blade grips,swash plate,fly bar paddle frame,and tail motor mount I also put on a HBK2 battery hanger and skid set with HBK3 paddles. I've put more money in it than what it cost new. But it's a blast and I'm hooked. I also have a HBK2 still in the box awaiting it's debut. I look forward to sharing info with all of you. FLY HIGH !!! KJ | |

| A very warm I too am a musician, for 20 years I played the saxophone and violin but I am now a guitar convert. I wish you all the best with this flying lark, very addictive! I decided last Friday that my next heli would be a 500/600 in a few months and then promptly bought a Trex 450s that was on offer! Bloody expensive hobby, I spend less flying gliders around!! Have fun | |

| "HBK2 still in the box awaiting it's debut." Yep, you're a musician!!! Yeah, I did indeed get an awesome welcome here. More so than any other forum. Anyways, even though I'm still new here... | |

- Hey Pitt, a Trex! And I thought i'd talked you into the 'X' Nice bit of kit though! And your right this is very addictive
You had talked me into a CopterX, but somebody had a Trex450S with upgrdaded head etc and a good charger going cheap (£150) so I bit their hand off (Align motor, ESC, Hitec servos and a telebee gyro, shame not the 401!!)! I would have had the copterX otherwise. Just waiting on a 617 receiver. The belt-cp is now in bits getting put into the airwolf fuselage, I have a bit more work to do on that, the fuselage is going to need a bit of dremel work around the head! The trex is going to be the mess around heli.... Just need a new ESC for the belt and a fan, I do not trust the Esky ESC inside the fuselage with the downwash no longer directed onto the ESC.

| Subject: thanks for Wed Sep 30, 2009 10:58 am | |
| Thanks fellas. I feel right at home. I am fresh out of the "lone star state" TEXAS. I reside in the middle of nowhere. 40 miles north of nothing and an hour and a half south of Dallas. Wanna know how I knew I had been bit by the bug???? I left home for work at 4:30pm on a day that my heli parts were due to arrive. On my way I passed a state trooper with a car stopped and just shortly after that I met the UPS truck. I flashed my lights, waved at him to slow down, and did everything else that I could to keep him from being stopped and slowing down the delivery of my parts. That's when it hit me. I'm hooked. Yeah, I got it bad. Anyway thanks again for the welcome. I work nights so you will probably only catch me online early a.m. weekdays and anytime Friday night thru Sunday morning. I look forward to talking to ya. FLY HIGH / FLY FREE KJ | |

- KJ!
So where do you hail from, if I may ask? What do ya say Jackyl??? I am still trying to figure out this site and the proper way to communicate on it. To answer your question. I am from Texas. I live on the lake outside of a small town (Whitney,Tx) that's about 80 miles south of Ft.Worth and 30 miles north of Waco. I was not sure how to respond to everyone yesterday, so I started a new topic in reference to my 1st one. (new to site) I see some people have read it but no one has had a reply. Any pointers on how to use this forum ? Ya see I'm not only new to rc heli's but also new to communicating on the computer. Any help would be appreciated. KJ | |

Welcome!! 1. On the main page, look at the bottom right...should have a link that says "today's active topics". That's a good place to start. Self explanatory 2. Nuttcaze has done a great job in creating categories for different topics. When you click on a category such as "General RC questions" it opens sub-topics related to the main topic....makes sense? 3. You can also follow topics by clicking on the bottom right where it says "watch this topic for replies".....it will send you a e-mail when someone replies. It's hasn't always worked when I use it but at least it's there. 4. On the top where it says FORUM, CALENDER, FAQ etc......click on SEARCH and you will be able to have a more detailed search on your questions. hope this help.......just play and click on everything and you'll learn it. JUST DON'T BELIEVE THE POP-UP BANNER THAT SAYS YOU WON A PRIZE OR HAVE 1 NEW MAIL! | |

| The Forums were *Down* for me for a day or so and when I did get back it said they were doing maintenance, so I have to assume they where cleaning things up (I had 8-websites of my own a couple of years ago so I know how Hosts tend to mess with things)...
I'd say *Clear out your Browser Cache* and then shut down your computer and try again, it should clear up in a day or so... | |
