Skyline Models! when your in Slough" Slough Models yikes then.

Beleive it or not, I got one of the first 600N kits...it's taken me this long to get it ready (time...money...wife...etc). At the time Slough Models didn't have any and I had more ambition and had to get started.

Anyway, a few years later here we are. I figured seeing as I got it from Skyline, best to take it there.

Then the next step is to come to Slough RC club and get learning. I'll certainly be joining up (subject to a positive visit of course).

Of course Slough Models have also enjoyed a lot of my money over the years...and will to come I think as I start to get into the swing of this.

Nervous...yes!

I must say I'd rather use Skyline than Slough to be honest. I know they all have to make a living but Slough models take the pi$$.

I went in there the other week for a tail belt for my 450 and was told it'd be cheaper to buy a Torque Tube for it. I said I didnt want to go that route cause by the time I'd changed all the gears it'd work out more expensive. Plus the amount of times I crash and land hard I'd be forever having to replace it all.

This was the reply. "You dont need to change any of the gears & the 450 TT is almost indestructable"

They must think I just sailed up the Thames on a biscuit!

You're not kidding. I'm not the biggest fan either but they are cheap and I can get it right now being fairly local. I bought the heli, the motor, the servos and the gyro etc from Skyline. Many moons ago I remember going in asking about the Gyro and servo stuff and they made me feel like a moron.

Hope you enjoy the 600N. It is an awesome machine!!!!!!!!

I went in there and asked for a flybar for my 450 SE V2 and when I got home realized the ones they'd sold me were too short and too thin (probably off the old V1) so I took them back and they wanted to charge me the 25p difference (bear in mind I spend a fortune in there anyway), when I said it was their mistake and its cost me about £5 in petrol and an hour round trip to get back there they said that it was down to me to check goods befor leaving?

PM me if you are thinking of coming down and I can let you know the times when there will be lots of helis and very few planks about.

[Mart61]

Enjoy the trip to Skyline!

[kungpo]

Oh I will. I'm very excited indeed. Just charging up the Lipo so we're all set.

I bet I can't sleep tonight...

[Gate88]

Well let us know how you get on!

[kungpo]

Taking the training gear with me. Certainly won't be doing anything more than a few hops probably...

The camera is all charged up too. But hopefully no embarrasing pictures...;-)
