[Ade_Law]

this was announced a while back. Seems its available now. Anybody tried one yet?

the rev-lock is good but its always worth keeping taps on the new technology.

I heard about this some while back. It seems like a good unit, sort of a cross between a rev max and a traditional governor.

It will be interesting to see how people get on with them so I would also be interested in hearing some feedback on them.

Cheers,
Pete.

Ah I can see you guys need review versions for the new RCheliaddict online Mag! Then once reviewed by 2 major heli flyers it should be given away in an online compition....

[Ade_Law]

great idea apart from the giving it away bit :-)

Ade:

well heres the thing maybe Stuartn can get stuff to be reviewed by some of the experienced flyers then once reviewed give it away in a comp.

of course prying it out of the reviewers hands maybe a slight problem

[Ade_Law]

who would want a used governor anyway. i am sure that after the long and rigorous testing period it would be worn out :-)

Nice try,

that would be the servo thats going to be totally knackered
a gov has no moving parts

what about the poor little elves in the governor? they only work for around a year before they go on strike and set the place on fire! Releasing lots of smoke!

Ah you want to try imps they can take a really good thrashing over time....

Although you dont get loads of smoke they just give a quick puff of smoke and thats it. might be a safer to option swap over....

[Raptorite]

oooh, you guys have been watching too many Men in Black films

The review idea is a great one though, as for what happens to it after that, well like Ade say's it might well go on strike

Cheers,
Pete.

generally if you ask someone to review something you don't get it back (voice of experience). Reviewers like to get something out of their work.

Well I was wondering whether to get Revlock elves or the new curtis combined elves and pixies....
I wonder what I should do?
I am sure that if someone did donate one to Ade and he did a good review then people would buy these

Elves!!
Imps!!

You guys have been hitting the 30% too hard

Fly it - don't drink it!

Still, made me smile after a pants Monday
