Hi Grumpy, Thanks for the 'heads up' re RCHeliSpot.com, I'll be sure & take a look at that in a few mins. We have lived in this house for 17 yrs & just spent an arm & a leg having it 're-modelled' as the Americans say. It's not a large house & I wouldn't dare fly the heli in it as any damage I caused would incur the wrath of her indoors, I'd also be pretty gutted myself. The company where I work has very large warehousing (aircraft hangar size) so I'll give it a whirl (no pun intended!) in there when I'm on my weekend standby shift, there's rarely any work to do, I'm only there for emergencies. Yeah, I do realise it's going to be quite a challenge to fly the HB, I've already got some good sources for reasonably priced spares, which I'm sure I'll need. Thanks for the advice. Mike.
