    Good evening everyone

    I have logged in tonight for the 1st time in many a year. I lost the interest a little ago when I got support for racing RC cars. Stopped going along to the local village hall meet in knowle village and sold my mcpx bl. I still have the car support so cars get the lions share of my time but I flew my 500 back in september with a mate who is just starting to get in helis but had previously baulked at the prospect.

    A blade grip ball joint let go and my aging heli fell out the sky. As I have scoured parts over the last few weeks I find myself trying to log into old forums I have been a member of, this being one them.

    I'm thinking if my old heli falls out the sky again, I will break it and put money towards something a bit more up to date. Alas, my heli is a Triggers Broom HK/Align 500. Still rocking a flybar.

    Anyway, hi guys. feels good to post.

      Thanks chief. Yeah, FBL was mostly on 3d machines but gathering pace when I lost interest. Looking at the 500x super combo to replace mine when it dies.
      A friend of mine told me something about a government registration list, following the whole Gatwick farce/hoax/excuse. They also want money from us for the privilege too so I'm told. Unlike mainland Europe where it's free. Again, so I've been told, I've not actually read anything on the subject.

      Hmm, I don't want to get political but this Government can swivel, besides, By the time someone bubbles me up for flying in a field with naff all around it, I would have either done all 4 of my packs, or crashed . Not to mention, with the slashing of 21, 000 coppers, I'm sure they'll be well in a hurry to rush to an empty field where, according to the grass on the phone: "Some man is flying a little toy helicopter in a kind of figure of 8". Mmm, clearly a danger to society.

      Ahem, anyway, back to topic lol.
