How about this one - 8" dia by 24" long Windsock Edited By Paul on 08/08/2010 15:41:38

Hi, User review from this site here - blaze   I fancy one of these myself, had the same thoughts about the MX blizzard as well.     

Thanks Myron, I must have missed that post when I searched then. That sounds good and not too expensive when you get it wrong  I seems a bit strange that you have to go to such lengths to fix what must be a common scenario. Now, if only I still worked in the Toolroom, I'd have a few adaptors knocked up in no time!

I have and it fits great, thank you both (where did those mad smiley come after my name come from! I didn't do it honest...)

According to the Horizon web site, they are already aware of counterfeit AR6100 RX, so all things are possible!   link Edited By David Ashby - RCME Administrator on 06/06/2010 17:54:12

Hi, Having run my Saito 82 in using a 13 * 6 prop, I would now like to try a 14 * 6 prop. The 14 * 6 will not fit the shaft (which is 8mm) as the hole in the prop is too big. My question is  -  can you purchase shaft adaptors for IC propellers like those that come with electric propellers or do you have to find a suitable bushing tubing or wrap shaft with tape like others have done?  I'm a bit worried these solutions would lead the propeller not running true and being out of balance. I cant seem to find the adaptors listed as separate parts. Thanks Paul

Tony, In Phoenix, use a model with training gear and pick the gym as the flying location. Aim to keep the model on the floor within a 3 foot square which are marked on the floor in the gym. Get used to the controls by skating the model around the floor. Progress to hovering off the floor but still in the square you have been using.   Once you can do this easily on the sim, take the same idea outside. Hover at least 3 - 4 foot of the deck to get out of the 'ground effect' problem.   Simulator practise was the key for me, if you cant do it on the sim, there’s not much chance of doing it for real...   Plus, as others have said, get the heli set up properly and try some expo on the controls to soften the response

I found Phoenix very useful for teaching me how to fly electric helicopters.I progressed much faster once I had the sim and was able to progress to circuits and nose in. I don't find the sim as useful for planes, as I don't think the take off and landings are as tricky as the real thing! Still good for learning the basics and  learning aerobatics
