  • Cleaning your helicopter

    Just taken my helicopter out front for quick hover. I was wondering what you guys use to clean your helicopter after a flight and what parts do you clean.

        KFC wipes - also good for cleaning laptop screens.

        Of course, to get sufficient KFC wipes you do need to eat a few buckets of chicken......

          You'd just be wiping away any character it was building up.....

          Nitros, get a wipe with a cloth after the days flying,
          electrics - what does cloth mean!
          You can teach a man everything. Apart from experience.

            It's a good job we invented babies else we would never have baby wipes. So many great uses

            Thanks chaps

                  Wet wipes and then dry off with a microfibre cloth for the nitros
                  Electrics don't need much cleaning

                    I tend to use all purpose spray cleaner and an old towel (if I remember to bring it that is)

                              There's always the crashing option

                              You can clean as you rebuild or just get a nice shinny new one!
