cheers mate, i thought i got off very lightly indeed with your comments! did you suffer any import tax duty or was the package well disguised as a mackem? ie never been in europe so the tax man would never look twice anyway!
did you get a decent li-po charger with the deal too? if not which one are you using?
thanks for your help its much appreciated

[mackem54]

no import tax package marked as model aircraft $25 value,
i use a propeak constellation charger,had first attempt at flying it today but she was very twitchy still to sort out the gyro and trimming, but tommorow is another day,
as regards to europe the mackems were in the cup winners cup in 1974 and who did they beat over two legs but a certain sporting lisbon.

what radio transmitter do you use? sorry for all the questions but im new to this heli thing! bought myself an esky honeybee 2 ccpm a few months back and am now hooked but want a more stable heli so looking for a T-Rex. oh by the way congratulations on promotion today! at least we now have an easy 6 points next season!

[mackem54]

iv`e got a futaba 9cap,not had it long used to have a ff6 but upgraded as its a better radio,no problems about the questions you will find everone is very helpful on this forum

So will I be wasting my money buying a T-Rex then mate? Im NOT interested in Nitro Helis as cant be @rsed with the hassle, I just want to charge up a few battery packs and away I go.
Surely the T-Rex is better than my Esky CCPM Heli outdoors? The slightest breeze and my Esky crashes and burns! Ive read review after review and watched numerous outdoor videos of the T-Rex and it looks the business? What would you suggest for the same sort of money as a T-Rex?
On another note - will a Futaba Skysport 6 Transmitter work with the T-Rex?
